What are you listening 2 now?

[PaulR]

The Viola Sonata (arr. from his Clarinet Sonata) is a real stunner. I dare to say it sounds better on the viola.

I do need to do a listen to both back to back, but I've generally preferred the clarinet version.



After a positive initial impression with the Violin Concerto, listening to more Skalkottas!  Looking forward to the Bass Concerto, which reminds me I want/need to start playing again

Ligeti - Violin Concerto. I need to go back to this box, went on to the Masterworks box too quickly.

As with the Brahms Op. 120, the composer conceived a Clarinet Sonata. For the record, I don't mind sharing with violists. I listened last night to the viola arr. of the Weinberg Op. 28 and it's a beautiful performance.

I blame Tasos  but I'm finding myself perilously close to a Skalkottas rabbithole, myself.

Beauty!

Quite a glorious rabbit hole it is turning out to be.

I guess there are worse holes to fall into!  I was a bit disappointed with the recording of the double bass concerto, not due to the performance, but it seemed that the orchestra kept overpowering the bass. Won't stop me from listening to it again though, though I wonder if it's an orchestration problem or a recording problem

-1 for the cuts. 

You'll like the recording!

Halffter: Rapsodia Portuguesa for piano and orchestra
Guarnieri: Chôro for violin and orchestra
Howells: Fantasia for cello and orchestra

The Halffter and the Guarnieri left me astounded by the inventiveness of the music. Time well spent with them. The Howells, with its pastoral mood, was good too, but not as remarkable as the others.

Love the Halffter album.

Revisiting Florent Schmitt's Janiana, op. 52,  for string orchestra, a very impressive work. Jean-François Paillard conduct his orchestra.
