British Symphonies
John Joubert #1
London PO
Vernon Handley
Lyrita

Good stuff. Lots of enjoyable music in this release, but the Joubert is well worth a spin - the opening of the second movement is great when turned up loud to fully appreciate the end of the first 😀

Didn't put me Orff though (If you know, you know. See what I did there?)

[Harry]

Pjotr Tchaikovsky.

The Nutcracker.

Marinsky Orchestra, Valery Gergiev.

A perfect concert performance, in excellent sound. Not for the faint of heart.
As with the Philips recording with the Kirov Orchestra (1998) Gergiev does some additional humming, that has a way of irritating me. But the wealth of detail is amazing, plus the bonus of a Russian interpretation, it adds authenticity beyond measure.

Mahler Symphony No. 10, Harding conducting the Vienna Phil




Sarge

JS Bach - BWV 114 (Leonhardt)

[Biffo]

Granados: Orchestral Works - Barcelona Symphony Orchestra conducted by Pablo Gonzalez - I have been listening to this Naxos set, recommended a few weeks ago in this thread, for the past few days. All of it is new to me and all very enjoyable - the Dante - Symphonic Poem is the pick of the bunch for me.

Filippo Gorini (piano)

I'm finding this mesmerising. Had never heard of Gorini before. Only twenty five. If this is one of his first recordings he's set the bar incredibly high.

Yes, unique and diverse music. I love the set.

Bach - BWV 114 (Leusink)

[SonicMan46]

This morning finishing up the Munrow sets below - THEN on to a different musical era!    Dave

The Art of Courtly Love & The Art of the Netherlands - David Munrow editions - finishing up my 'early music' compilation collection with these two double disc sets. Over a brief decade in the later 1960s/early 1970s, David Munrow was a prime mover in the revival of 'early music' in England, until his untimely death at age 34 years by suicide in 1976.  These two anthologies are a fitting memorial to his impact on this music - see link for much more.  Also Amazon lists many other 'Munrow recordings', some not readily available - any favorites to consider?  Dave

[Papy Oli]

One last BWV 114 (Rilling)

[Traverso]

Scarlatti

Sonatas KK 189-203

[Klavier]

A wonderful recording.

[Mandryka]

Filippo Gorini (piano)

I'm finding this mesmerising. Had never heard of Gorini before. Only twenty five. If this is one of his first recordings he's set the bar incredibly high.

I tend to agree with this, it's good music making, poetic.

[Karl Henning]

A wonderful recording.

Love it!

[Spotted Horses]

A wonderful recording.

I own that CD, but haven't listened.
Piano quintet, hmm. No ondes Martenot?
