A nice and interesting composer that crossed my path through the fortepiano sonatas set by Colladant.
Later added the recording of the string quartets.

      

Que - I have just 2 CDs of Laure Collandant and would love that box but cannot see a source!   >:(  Own 8 recordings of Woelfl including the SQs you posted plus the ones w/ the Authentic Quartet, would also like to obtain the Quatuor Mosaiques but the price is a little much for me.  Dave :)

André



Endlessly fascinating textures, from the solo flute to oboe, clarinet and bassoon trio to full wind quintet. Works composed between 1975 and 1991.

vers la flamme



Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach: Hamburg Symphonies, Wq. 183. Didier Talpain, Solamente Naturali

This is an excellent disc. I don't know anything about the Solamente Naturali ensemble but they sound excellent.

I need to check that one out, apparently :)

You won't regret, Karl. It does deserve to be heard.
The current annihilation of a people on this planet (you know which one it is) is the most documented and at the same time the most preposterously denied. The terror IS REAL!

Symphonic Addict

Pergolesi: Stabat Mater
Gouvy: Symphonies 1 and 2


I think I prefer the recording on DG featuring Abbado and the LSO on the Pergolesi.

Revisiting Gouvy's symphonies. Charming, easygoing, joyful. Nothing but sheer bliss.

Hello now see, thee olden Boy either a town idiot of choice, had it in download and want the CD media. So I purchased, Sigismondo India in CD format I forgot had in my librairie, even if Had it in digital format. :laugh: .
I'm listening curently to the download version,on RICERCARE RECORDS, endorse this album so much it's magical, surreal beauty, ''fais dans les règles DE l'art''= state of the art, Top notch a keeper you cherish.

So this mean I might as Well be a devotee ratter than smartest town idiot of all time, since for CD sounds better than MP3, so I guess, for purist sake like me, classical lover.
[color] I'm spellbound by the result of this album, pure on cut genius, nothing more none diluted red wine, fully fruit taste for the thirsty.

Piano Concerto No. 1

An incredible work. The second movement has a so haunting otherworldly atmosphere. I'm very impressed. I wonder if John knows this work.

P.S. I've heard that Aho work, but I don't remember it. I'll remedy this soon --- I hope.

Vaughan Williams
Symphony No. 5 in D
LPO
Boult




I've been feeling a bit down today, but Vaughan Williams' 5th always manages to soothe my soul. An important work in my early classical listening and it's still important for me. A masterpiece.

Repeat listen to this CD which I highly recommend.
