What are you listening 2 now?

[aligreto]

I realy should investigate this recording. 
The involvement of Vox Luminis under Meunier makes it almost self-recommending.

I do not think that your will regret investigating that one, Que.

you won't regret it 

[Papy Oli]

You are certainly tempting me to make a return visit to that set, Olivier.

That is a beautiful set, which I would never have known about if not for GMG.

Indeed, and hence the itch to revisit it. Perhaps I could be selective in my chosen listening. 

I am taking this first visit in Bach's organ music by Isoir very slowly and really piecemeal but I am enjoying this a lot. Usually 20-30 minutes at a time is enough for me and I move on but that keeps this discovery very entertaining.   

[Papy Oli]

I regret coming to the end of this album. It was really very good.

Play it again, Sam

Reisado do pastoreio, Lorenzo Fernandez. Minczuk/Sao Paolo.

Fauré: Piano Quartet No. 1 [Rogé/Quatuor Ysaÿe]





There is a great sense of forward momentum and great excitement in the opening movement in this performance of the opening movement. We are on an exciting journey and we are pleased to be here. This presentation is based on a foundation of lyricism but we are constantly driven along by the inherent pace of the music. Drama and tension are omnipresent and the musicians always portray the music in the best light. The Scherzo is beguiling. It is well paced and suitably energetic. This is admirable music making. The slow movement is a wonderful contrast in terms of tone and tempo. It is definitely a pause for reflection. The music is captivating and its performance is refined. The performance of the final movement is both suitably exuberant, dramatic and continuously exciting.

Play it again, Sam 

I would love to but I have so much previously unheard music waiting for me to investigate at the moment!

Bach: French Suite No.1 in D minor

Bob van Asperen (harpsichord)

There's something so connected about van Asperen's playing, it feels as if it's coming directly from the source, as it were.

[North Star]

Now playing:



Alfred Schnittke: Concerto for Piano & Strings. Roland Pöntinen, Lev Markiz, New Stockholm Chamber Orchestra

Sounds good.

Very nice, coincidentally I just listened to Khudolei & Polyansky's recording of the Concerto, as well as the Requiem.





Now playing:

Copland
Vitebsk: Study on a Jewish Theme for violin, violoncello, and piano (1929)
Göbel-Trio Berlin

You've reminded me that I have to revisit this marvelous set of recordings. I generally alternate between this set and the Domus recordings on Hyperion.

Superb disc. The first Haydn mass recording I bought, on LP. Have since bought it on CD.

This is my first one 

[Traverso]

Yes.   This too:

Previously I was listening to the Kleine Orgelmesse from this set (also Guest  / St Johns) :



There are not many areas of overlap between my musical tastes and those of my partner, but Haydn Masses are one (Mahler symphonies another )

Off  course I have this set
