Glazunov: Piano Concerto No. 1 [Romanovsky/Serebrier]





Lyrical, rambling, ruminative and questioning is how I would describe the first movement, overall. The second movement is a slow theme played by the orchestra with a set of variations for piano and orchestra. The set of variations is interesting enough. However, I do not find the work overly appealing or engaging.

Frank Bridge's Phantasm

Great set and music ...

I'm just listening to some Monteverdi works and Haydn piano trios and string quartets these days - often as background music.

[Madiel]

You know I'm in a weird mood when I try this...

Liszt, Héroïde funèbre

[Madiel]

Same conductor, music I'm far more likely to respond to.

Dvorak, Nature, Life and Love (In Nature's Realm / Carnival / Othello)

Manuel Tomadin plays on a A Gavinelli (1690)-Dell' Orto e Lanzini organ (2005) at the Madonna del Popolo Church in Romagnano Sesia.
Pitch:a= 415 Hz. Temperament: 1/4 comma mesotonic.

Well played and recorded. The organ sounds just fine considering its history.

Nice to see the love for Kinsella from members. His death was a great loss to the cultural scene in my country. I was privileged to be in attendance at the premiere of his Symphony No. 11 where he was duly honoured and acknowledged.

He was a very fine composer and, by all accounts, a very nice man.

Many 'best ever' listenings lately, I see .

+ 1 for the Brahms Hungarian Dances with the Kontarsky brothers (handily beats all other contenders), the Kinsella symphonies disc, the Pettersson VC with Handel (accept no substitutes) and the Davrath recording of Canteloube's Chants d'Auvergne (one for the ages).

Barry: Chevaux-de-frise [Houlihan]

[aligreto]

He [Kinsella] was a very fine composer and, by all accounts, a very nice man.

Yes on both counts, Jeffrey.

[aligreto]

Simply wonderful!
