Papandopulo: Piccolo Concerto



Played on piccolo here, despite what the cover says.  Wonderful composer.

[JBS]

I saw the cover first, and thought: from a Rutter Harpsichord concerto, dear Lord, deliver us ....

From what I remember of that CD,  the Rutter wasn't bad, although the Francaix was easily the best part.

Speaking of harpsichords--

Two successive CDs of Johann Sebastian Bach--Partitas 4 through 6 (originally an EMI/Virgin recording) on the first, Cantatas 152, 56, 55, and 114 prefaced by the introductory Sonata from number 182 (from the Teldec cycle with Harnoncourt) on the second.

NP:

Ives
Symphony No. 3, "The Camp Meeting"
The Unanswered Question
Central Park in the Dark
Washington's Birthday
Country Band March
Overture & March "1776"
Northern Sinfonia
James Sinclair



It's a shame Sinclair didn't finish his Ives cycle. He only recorded the 1st and 3rd. Of course, his series on Naxos is splendid. He's an expert on the composer and I believe he's head of the Ives Society (I could be mistaken, but I read this somewhere).

Françaix is a composer I need to investigate more, though perhaps not along the Mirror Image full immersion model

A wise choice on your part, Karl.

[Karl Henning]

A wish choice on your part, Karl.

Respighi: Ciaccona (after Vitali) for violin, strings and organ, P. 87

Remarkable stuff and nice combination of forces.

Lovely, Cesar. I love all of Respighi's works for violin and orchestra (and the violin/piano works, too).

NP:

Korngold
Violin Concerto in D major, Op. 35
Nicola Benedetti, violin
Bournemouth SO
Kirill Karabits



A beautifully rendered performance. You can hear how Benedetti performs that she loves this music. Passionate, but, by turns, wistful and yearning.

We are fortunate that thanks to a printed edition this requiem by a music master of the cathedral of Clermont-Ferrand survived. Stylistically it reminds me of Richafort. Even though it is more modest, I'm grateful for having another Franco-Flemish requiem from that period to enjoy.

Great looking CD Cesar! I enjoyed 'Church Windows' on the radio yesterday.
PS I just found a cheap copy online, so I ordered it
