What are you listening 2 now?

Giuseppe Sinopoli conducts the Italian Youth Orchestra in a varied program (Mendelssohn-Bartholdy—Hebrides Overture—,  Schoenberg—Five Pieces for Orchestra—, Petrassi—Frammento—, and Liszt—Orpheus & Tasso, lamento e trionfo—). From live concerts held between 1994 and 1999.

I was on the verge of streaming that yesterday, but instead went with Blue heron singing the lovely Taverner motet Dum transisset sabbatum, and some other Taverner with the Tallis Scholars. But your adjuration will ensure an imminent return to my original intent.


Also played:



Bruckner: Symphony No.7


Continuing my Venzago/Bruckner odyssey. I must say I've never enjoyed Bruckner quite in this way before, it really is as if somebody has opened the windows and let the fresh air and sunlight come streaming in.

YAY

Will check the disc. The pic at Venice should have been used for cover art.

Which rather cleverly highlights the interplay of letters between their names. Like some kind of stream of DNA bases.

[Traverso]

I listened to this about a month ago. What great music!

It is indeed a very fine attractive piece that hold's your attention to the end.It is  very Straussian at times wich is a good thing ,but he is definitely more than an epigone .

[Karl Henning]

A great programme Karl. I wonder if you've noticed how similar the 'March' from 'The Love of Three Oranges' is to 'The Parade of the Ewoks' from 'Star Wars: The Return of the Jedi'(John Williams) 

How my eyes did roll at the Ewoks, Jeffrey, the first time I watched The Return of the Jedi in the movie house!

Palestrina: Missa papae Marcelli [Pro Cantione Antiqua]





Simply divine.

[Irons]

Yes - multiple incarnations!;



On a tangent - for Barbirolli's LP set with the Halle on EMI for some glorious reason for the booklet the EMI art department decided this famous image of Sibelius needed an ear!!

Thanks. Trying to work out what the Encore cover represents. Best I can come up with is walnuts!

"Nuts!"

[aligreto]

Palestrina: Stabat Mater [Pro Cantione Antiqua]





This is a really very fine performance. It is suitably very devotional in tone and the polyphony is exquisite. Such wonderful writing for voices!

This was a very suitable performance to finish off a really very well presented box set.
