Thanks for mentioning it, John. Svetlanov on Melodiya is another quite fantastic one.

Svetlanov is also a good one, indeed. I like Ashkenazy and Jurowski a lot as well.

One of my favourite 3rds by Bruckner with Remy Ballot conducting

Morning listening - more of this 3CD set:



It's mostly Franco-Flemish Renaissance repertoire, but not all.
Currently listening to a gorgeous madrigal by Giovanni De Maque (1548 - 1624).

One of my favourite 3rds by Bruckner with Remy Ballot conducting

The 3rd is my favourite of the early Bruckner symphonies - I grew up with Szell's fine old recording.

Holst 'First Choral Symphony':

[Irons]

Diamond: 2nd Symphony.

The first movement is the heart and soul of Diamond's 2nd Symphony. Like Jeffrey's Alwyn, Adagio Funebre is a perfect match for Remembrance Day. Profound and moving, I found it difficult making the mental transition to the following movements, good as they are. Only at the Coplandesque finale was I reminded of the composer's birthplace.
This is my second CD featuring Schwarz and the Seattle Symphony and both are sonically outstanding. The percussion, of which there is a fair bit in the 2nd, are faultlessly caught and projected. I understand these are originally Delos recordings, a company no longer in business. A sad and undeserved loss.

Johann Sebastian Bach.

Complete Organ Works, CD III.

BWV 537,715,717,726,714,727,563,713,728,729,730,731,767,562,766.

Ewald Kooiman plays on a Andreas Silbermann organ, (1732) Ebersmunster, Eglise Abbatiale, Saint Maurice, France.
SACD

What a magnificent intro, the Fantasy in C minor, BWV 537, cannot remember it better done as by Kooiman. The following Fugue is something to relish too. Magnificent.

thankyou for that posting - I've not listened to that disc in ages and I'm going to dig it out asap!

[vandermolen]

Yes, you do, Jeffrey.

That is the answer.

Thanks Cesar - I've already asked my daughter to get it for me for Christmas

That's a fine CD. I love Diamond's first four symphonies and those are fine recordings and performances. Delos are, indeed, a great loss. I discovered Diamond through those recordings.

A really superb collection of Liszt's orchestral output. The performance of Les Préludes in particular is something of a classic. Excellent sound too.

I agree, Harry. This is an excellent release. I particularly enjoyed the Suite for String Orchestra, but all of the works are high quality.

I am really happy that you bought it, and agreed about this amazing release.

Dmitri Shostakovich.

Symphony No. 7 in C major. "Leningrad" (1941) Dedicated to the city of Leningrad.

Gürzenich Orchester Köln, Dmitrij Kitajenko.
SACD.

My ongoing journey through this set, which keeps amazing me in a positive way.  Kitajenko takes his time to unfold the music, and puts a little less turmoil in it. A welcome addition to the sets I already have, namely Haitink and Barshai.
