Back on Spotify:



Confirms my initial impressions: music highly sophisticated though not strikingly original, playing absolutely superb.
All in all this should be a blissful experience for most lovers of lute music.
Spotify tried to hide it from me, but I finally found the sister album as well. So that will be next. 

[Papy Oli]

Good morning all,

Continuing this Concerto Köln series:

Various symphonies by Anton Eberl



What a joyful boxset.

[aligreto]

Beethoven: Piano Sonata No. 30 Op. 109 [Brautigam]

[aligreto]

- a great set.

Terrific, Jeffrey. I found it to be very engaging throughout.

[aligreto]

What a joyful boxset.

[Tsaraslondon]

Ravel's wonderful score for Daphnis et Chloé conducted by the man who conducted it at its premiere with Diaghilev's Ballet Russe. Recorded in 1959, the sound is remarkably good.

[Biffo]

[Traverso]

That is a remarkable recording (IMO).

And this one too with the lovely Saint Saëns sonata wich I have played myself 

[aligreto]

Glazunov:





Introduction and Dance from Salome Op. 90: The undoubted highlight here is the quality of the orchestration. It obviously has a big impact on the atmosphere created in this music.

Reverie for Horn and Orchestra: This is a very short but opulent sounding work.

[aligreto]

And this one too with the lovely Saint Saëns sonata wich I have played myself 

A hidden talent, Jan? 

[Papy Oli]

JS Bach - Johannes Passion
Part I

[Operafreak]

[Spotted Horses]

And this one too with the lovely Saint Saëns sonata wich I have played myself 

Did you play the clarinet, the piano, or the CD?   

[Traverso]

Handl-Gallus

I love to listen to Handl-Gallus' "Moralia". However, you are startled when you look at the lyrics, they are of a narrow nature and a textbook example of how the Church has oppressed the people with the promise of pleasing the Supreme Being. I Give here an example which I hope needs no further explanation.
There are also wooden statues of saints with a distorted expression that gives me the shivers.








Harmoniae Morales (20-53)

[steve ridgway]

That second one sounds like a quote from Jimmy Savile.

[vandermolen]

Following interest shown on the forum I thought that I should hear this again.
Vladigerov: Symphony No.1 (1939)
- a fine, heroic crash-bang-wallop symphony. I was reminded of Korngold's Symphony in places:

[Traverso]

Did you play the clarinet, the piano, or the CD?   

The Clarinet,a French one with a German mouthpiece.I have also a Traverso that I start playing just for the Bach sonatas and partita.It is a copy of an Italian Palanca.A few months ago I sold my Contreras guitar.
To answer the question of Fergus,I'm afraid too well hidden.....
