+1 for Tippett's Double and Triple Concertos from me. Also a fan of the symphonies and my initial dabbling with the SQs.

Would like to explore the symphonies. A YT blog I listened to only last week was complimentary of the Davis recording of the 3rd.

[Irons]

Beethoven: 3rd Symphony 'Eroica'.

[vandermolen]

Émile Jacques-Dalcroze 'Impressions Tragiques' (c.1914)
First listen to this recently arrived CD. Very enjoyable, powerful and brooding, late-Romantic GMG discovery (thank you Cesar):

I have that as long as I can remember, and I agree with your assessment. How funny it is that many CD"s were already posted a long time ago by members that have been gone for quite some time, discussed even, but it is all hard to find in the dungeons of GMG. Anyways it was in that time not well received, partly because of the eccentric conductor. I like it though

I thought that this might be your cup of tea as well Harry! I owe Adriano a debt of gratitude for recording those interesting Marco Polo film recordings, like Auric's 'Beauty and the Beast', Honegger and also a most interesting disc of orchestral music by Fanelli, including the mysterious 'Romance of the Mummy'.

[vers la flamme]

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: String Quintet No.3 in C major, K 515. Salomon Quartet, Simon Whistler

I had a hard time picking what to listen to this morning but finally ended up here. I made a good choice, this piece is amazing.

[Pohjolas Daughter]

The album looks very interesting!

The Korte work's quite interesting and I want to play it again today (after coffee has totally kicked in).  The description of it from the album:

The piano sonata in two movements by Oldrich Frantisek Korte (b. 1926), written between 1951 and 1953 (premiered by the author in Prague, in 1954) is counted among the classics and the most often internationally performed works of post-World War II Czech music.  Played by Maurizio Pollini, it was awarded at the Busoni competition in Bolzano.    Content-wise, it contrasts the harmony of the forces of life and introspection in the first movement, with the disconcerting and strife-ridden world of spiritual visions and dramatic conflicts in the second movement.  Immediacy of statement is coupled here with ingenious compositional and formal structuring.  As a matter of fact, this is the one contemporary piece in Moravec's repertory to which he has returned regularly with ever new vigor, and always most convincingly, for the past three decades"

By Jiri Pilka

Have others here heard this work before now?

Interesting, I just found the whole album uploaded here (If you or anyone else wants to sample it.):  https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_m-Id_yTSSxS7xQSsYcNFyEq2lX4GrpjKk  It was uploaded by Supraphon.  They have a number of his tracks there for listening to too.

I am a waiting Paul, together with Kimi of course.

[The new erato]

What a great disc this is:

[Spotted Horses]

I can report listening to the Lalo Piano Concerto again, and enjoying it again.



I was thinking I was through all of the Lalo I wanted to listen to, then I remembered the Cello Concerto. Duh!

[Traverso]

Bach

This recording ends with the magnificent BWV 552, a jubilant opening, an evoke intertwined with a resounding melancholy.

[Harry]

Asger Hamerik.
