What are you listening 2 now?

[Papy Oli]

(Parley Albums)

Don't be alarmed, I hope you can listen to fragments on YouTube. The Purcell box with three CDs is attractively priced and very nice. If you like Emma Kirkby, the Monteverdi is a must.
De Teleman is very attractive with the magnificent Suite for recorder and orchestra.
The muffat is one of my favorites, have fun and if you can't find something and I have it I'm happy to help.

Duly noted, Jan, thank you. I'll look into those (Boyce, Blow and Muffat would be new names to me and Purcell I need to properly explore at some point).

I don't have the recording. I must get the disc.

I found a brand new copy very cheaply Manabu.

Now playing: Walton Symphony No.1 (for four hands)
A somewhat bizarre listening experience, but not without interest as it allows one to hear details which may otherwise have been missed:

Aram Khachaturian
Symphonies 1 & 3
Loris Tjeknavorian
Armenian PO

Enjoyed very much, thanks for posting. On extremely thin ice discussing music with a composer!
Hindemith is not falling into the trap of looking down at, but I get the feeling he is using popular music as a vehicle to expand his ideas. Barber is not expanding but converting a popular idiom to classical without a hint of how clever am I.

With all that talk about Karl Böhm in the "Box Blather" thread...

Mozart: Symphony No. 29, KV 201 & No. 35 "Haffner", KV 385 , and Masonic Funeral Music, KV 477 (Böhm conducts the Vienna Philharmonic)

CD 9 of this set:



Wunderbar!!!!!

Ja Ja,ganz Wunderbar !!!  The Masonic Funeral Music is really something 

[vandermolen]

Aram Khachaturian
Symphonies 1 & 3
Loris Tjeknavorian
Armenian PO

Great symphonies but there are much better performances I think. Tjeknavorian and the LSO for No.1 (LP only) and Gauk with the USSR SO and Stokowski or Glushchenko for No.3.

[The new erato]

From an invaluable Stradella series!

Yes, the Masonic funeral music is the highlight of the box set I have of Bohm's Mozart.

From these recordings:

[Mandryka]

Continuing my exploration of Leonhardt's Frescobaldi - and once again I'm impressed by the space between the phrases, this time in Toccata 2.

He was clearly not bothered by "Horror Vacui"

A somewhat bizarre listening experience, but not without interest as it allows one to hear details which may otherwise have been missed:

The two piano disc looks very interesting. Also I don't have the No.1 by Alexander Gibson either. Is it good recording?

Great symphonies but there are much better performances I think. Tjeknavorian and the LSO for No.1 (LP only) and Gauk with the USSR SO and Stokowski or Glushchenko for No.3.

How about the No. 1 conducted by the composer?

[Mandryka]

He was clearly not bothered by "Horror Vacui" 

Que would say that horror vacui = Vartolo.

Indeed.  His singing is worse though.

Mutations from Bach
Intermezzo from "Vanessa"

Wieniawski no. 1

A sad early end of a gifted artist.

Absolutely a great loss, he was very gifted. Fortunately he still left us some wonderful recordings.
