What are you listening 2 now?

Very nice John. I heard an interview with Evelyn Rothwell, the oboist, who made the first recording of the Oboe Concerto with her husband, John Barbirolli and she said that she considered the Oboe Concerto to be a very underrated work.

Some gloomy early morning listening here:
Miaskovsky's 'Silence' Op.9

On to the searching and lyrical 'Sinfonietta' Op.32, No.2 now. The middle movement is so sad and yet very beautiful. This recording is best IMO.

Very nice, Jeffrey. I think all of Vaughan Williams' concerti are underrated. I'll have to revisit some Myaskovsky since he seems to be hot at the moment on GMG. I own all of the Svetlanov's recordings.

My Miaskovsky box is missing, and of course all of you are suspect (except Jeffrey and Harry who seem to have enjoyed theirs for far longer than I've had mine)

I have an alibi: I acquired the box in 2008. You can take me off the list of suspects

NP:

Sibelius
Symphony No. 4 in A minor, Op. 63
Berliners
HvK



One of the finest performances of Sibelius' 4th on record, IMHO.

[Harry]

It was Jeffrey's wife. She is going around stealing all of the boxes. I don't think she likes Miaskovsky' music     

She would say, "what's that infernal noise Jeffrey"

[Traverso]

Bach

such a heavenly  joy in contapuntus 18b 

Leonhard is so crystal clear  and convincing in the way he plays this music, but never forcing,the result is overpowering  .

[Brahmsian]

Used to have a friend of a friend in Ridgewood. He wouldn't have appreciated Haydn

Nice!

It was Jeffrey's wife. She is going around stealing all of the boxes. I don't think she likes Miaskovsky' music 

I cannot believe such extreme measures on Mevrouw Vandermolen's part, I refuse to!
