I prefer this recording over the one on Chandos, as the Koln orchestra and its conductor are obviously very at home in this sort of music.

Leoš Janáček
Jealousy
Violin Concerto 'Wandering of a Little Soul'
Ballad of Blaník
The Fiddler's Child
The Danube
Taras Bulba

James Ehnes - violin
Edward Gardner - Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra



Edward Gardner isn't the first conductor I would search out for the music of Janáček, but this recording filled some holes I had in the collection. The Bergen PO sound fabulous regardless; I will definitely search out more of their recordings!

Bernstein 'Jeremiah Symphony'. Christa Ludwig, Israel PO, Bernstein:

[André]

Háry János Suite is one of my favourite orchestral pieces by any composer. Probably a Top 5.

It's a hoot !

Don't know the Dorati interpretations (nice program !). I've always been satisfied with Fricsay's Berlin version (DGG).

[Brahmsian]

It's a hoot !

Don't know the Dorati interpretations (nice program !). I've always been satisfied with Fricsay's Berlin version (DGG).

I do have and enjoy the Dorati interpretation, but my favourite is the Kertesz and London Symphony Orchestra.

Listening to this work yet again:

Respighi
Concerto gregoriano
Lydia Mordkovitch, violin
BBC Philharmonic
Downes

[foxandpeng]

I'm pretty sure Alla Pavlova should have a dedicated composer thread, preferably written by someone who has a grasp far greater than mine. Browsing the internet for articles and reviews of her symphonic output reveals very little. I'm not sure whether that's because there is just so much other music out there, or because her style looks backward to a neo-romantic style that is less popular among lovers of serious music, or even because her music has a filmic quality.

I find her melodic, attractive, and in pieces such as the final movement of #2, just accessibly stunning. I don't usually care about the gender of the composers I hear, but if we are seeking to raise the profile of female composers, she is one I want to hear.

Listening to this work yet again:

Respighi
Concerto gregoriano
Lydia Mordkovitch, violin
BBC Philharmonic
Downes

That work is a beauty. One of Respighi's best in my opinion.

[Dry Brett Kavanaugh]

It's a hoot !

Don't know the Dorati interpretations (nice program !). I've always been satisfied with Fricsay's Berlin version (DGG).

It is a wonderful recording though it is monaural.
