I did not know there was an orchestration of Tchaikovsky's "Seasons". Did the composer himself arrange or supervise it?

Aleksandr Gauk arranged it for orchestra, I believe in the mid-20th Century, although I've only heard Svetlanov in this version.

I have heard another arrangement by Werner Thomas-Mifune for six cellos and string bass; a bit unusual, and paired with Piazolla's Four Seasons arranged for the same cello ensemble.

The Ravel always feels like coming home. The Mozart is, of course, god work for a 16-year old in the late 18th c.

I do feel like circling back to—

Following up Das Lied with this:

Szymanowski
Symphony No. 3, Op. 27 "Song of the Night"
Jon Garrison (vocals), Peter Thomas (violin)
City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra & Chorus
Rattle


From this set -



For me, this is still Rattle's greatest achievement. He is completely in his element in Szymanowski's idiom.

Haydn: Symphony No. 83

Haydn was a master at combining tension, wit, genius and brilliance at once. The No. 83 holds a special place in my heart because of the stunning first movement, particularly. A complete delight of a piece in itself. Karajan and the BPO have a bold sound and a disciplined playing that benefit the piece enormously.

Part of the tragedy of the Palestinians is that they have essentially no international support for a good reason: they've no wealth, they've no power, so they've no rights.

Love this piece! The performance can't be less than exquisite, I want to think.

It is strange. I listen to the Bliss VC and the Hindemith VC and enjoy them, but afterwards I can't recall anything from either works.

The Hindemith is a stronger piece, in my view. I rank it highly!

vers la flamme



Ludwig van Beethoven: Piano Trio No.5 in D major, op.70 no.1, the "Ghost". Wilhelm Kempff, Pierre Fournier, Henryk Szeryng

Strong performance of this work—though it's the only one I know. Really need to spend more time with Beethoven's piano trios. I hardly know them.

+1. Especially I like the recordings of Oistrakh/Hindemith and Gertler/Ancerl "every day."  ;D

I was very young at the time when I heard this music by Gabrieli for the first time,I loved it from the start.
I think that it is not available outside this box.

It was originally issued as an LP on the Argo label. That's how I heard it.



Never reissued as a single cd, as you mention  :(
