Kodaly: Dances of Galánta [Dorati]





These are wonderfully exciting versions of this wonderful music under Dorati.

[aligreto]

Beethoven

Symphony No.9

Wonderful!

[Spotted Horses]

Kodaly: Dances of Galánta [Dorati]




They are. I actually like the Symphony and Concerto for Orchestra better than the more famous pieces.


These are wonderfully exciting versions of this wonderful music under Dorati.

[Klavier1]

The cover isn't very helpful. The recording includes the Cello Sonata, Concertante for Flute and Piano, and the Piano Quartet. All are well played and often quite dramatic. The recording is pretty good but a bit too reverberant for my taste. Qobuz.

Bach, Johann Christian (1735-1782) - Symphonies, KB Concertos, & Symphonies Concertantes - 3 CPO boxes totaling 17 discs, and all w/ Anthony Halstead and the Hanover Band - quite an effort; just selected a single CD from each box; then unto the 'London Bach's' solo KB and chamber works - probably a similar number of recordings that I may be doing some replacements, culling, or additions?  Dave

Those JC sets by Halstead are one of my musical discoveries of 2021!

Hi Que - just uniformly wonderful performances of consistently good music - posted the images form Amazon where I purchased them, so my dates were present, 2011 to 2016 for me.  Dave

Recommended? I don't really know much of Creston

[Iota]

Yes, the Brendel/Gielen recording is superb. I found it remarkable how "romantically" expressive the music was, despite the completely different organizational principals of the music. The Gielen recordings of the Chamber Symphonies are also remarkable, as I recall.

Yes, I completely agree. I feel the presence of forerunners like Mahler very much in the performance, and love the way that's projected. I think it's less true in the Uchida/Boulez for example, which to me is more abstract in approach. Perhaps I might crudely characterise the Brendel/Gielen as looking backwards and the Uchida/Boulez as looking forwards. I find both absolutely marvellous performances though.

Those JC sets by Halstead are one of my musical discoveries of 2021! 

There's also the Complete Overtures set.

Jennifer Pike and Martin Roscoe work their magic with Elgar and Vaughan Williams Violin Sonatas with the Lark Ascending with the piano variant

Recommended? I don't really know much of Creston

Yes. You may want to start with the Sy1-3 by Theodore Kuchar.

[ritter]

Two great piano concertos, by two great artists...

Claude Helffer plays Bartók's PC3 and Prokofiev's PC3. Bruno Maderna conducts the Orchestre National de l'Opéra de Monte-Carlo.


I already knew this recording of the Bartók (my favourite of the composer's three), from a CD where it's coupled with the Dance Suite and The Miraculous Mandarin suite, but the recording of the Prokofiev is new to me (and I haven't listened to the work in ages).
