What are you listening 2 now?

[Traverso]

I'm listening, and enjoying, this through streaming services. I wonder if you or anyone else knows whether the details of which organs are used for which tracks is anywhere online.

I've always known Haasler is good. What I never realised before Tomadin is that there's so much good music which is arguably by him. He died young too, by today's standards at least.

Arnold Schoenberg
Drei Volkslieder, op. 49
Drei Deutsche Volkslieder
Zwei Kanons nach Goethe

BBC Singers - Pierre Boulez

Continuing CD 1 of this set:

Schoenberg's part-songs easily exist in the same sound world as the choral music of Hugo Wolf or Brahms with some greater expanded harmonies. Schein uns, du liebe Sonne seems to be the big hit here.

His canons on texts of Goethe are really an interesting study of Schoenberg's musical architecture.

Pounds the table!

Momentum - Nordic Cello Concertos
Jakob Kullberg
Per Nørgård Cello Concerto #2 'Momentum'
Arne Nordheim 'Tenebrae'
Kaija Saariaho 'Amers' Cello Concerto #1
Syzmon Bywalec
New Music Orchestra

These are very good performances. All three composers make great music and these cello pieces bear repeat listening.

Robert Simpson
Complete Symphonies
Symphony #11
Matthew Taylor
City of London Sinfonia

Simpson is proving to be well worth the purchase.

And what did you think of it Karl? I like the arrangement of Finzi's 'Eclogue' as well.

Greatly enjoyed it, Jeffrey. Looking forward to both the Maconchy & Finzi. The Finzi is a beauty, of course, but as a result, CRB played it to destruction. My ears are ready for it again

Delighted that you liked it Karl.

Darius Milhaud's Les Choéphores 
    Igor Markevitch, Orchestre Lamoureux Paris, Chorale de l'Université, Geneviève Moizan
    (soprano), Hélène Bouvier (alto), Heinz Rehfuss

The rather creaky 1957 mono sound of this recording isn't proving as much of a hindrance to enjoyment as I feared!

Fine performance of the Honegger as well.

[SonicMan46]

Bach, JS - Solo Violin Sonatas & Partitas on lute w/ Hopkinson Smith and on guitar with Frank Bungarten - my afternoon's listening (this morning, sampled my 4 sets of these works on solo violin and posted in the thread dedicated to these pieces) - in all honesty I've always enjoyed (don't want to say preferred -  ) these works on 'plucked' instruments and probably pull these out for a listen more that the solo violin recordings, but just me.  Dave

I like Jenkins very much. When I saw you were listening to that I found my copy of their 6 part consorts.

Moving on to CD 2:

Despite this being modern-sounding Schoenberg now, nothing here is forbidding at all, and I was interested throughout.  For those who may abjure to Schoenberg's style, I was particularly enraptured with Verbundenheit, which is absolutely beautiful, and his Landsknechte is a curious work that yearns to be heard, both for men's chorus.

Furthermore, I am delighted with how Schoenberg writes for chorus. His use of rhythm and textures is most interesting; once I caught a waltz hidden in one of these and I thought it a rare bit of wit from a composer I don't associate with such things. His selection of texts can at times seem incendiary, but are of great interest in general.
