[Symphonic Addict]

Can't you stream the Wordsworth? Just do that since you don't buy physical product.

And if you use Qobuz, you certainly can stream it:

Will do in due time, John. Thank you!

Brilliant, intense playing and superb sound. Qobuz 24/192.

Me wants to hear this!

Now playing Novák Piano Concerto with Jan Bartoš and Jakub Hruša conducting the Prague Radio SO:

I was somewhat disappointed by this work. It's early Novák if my memory serves. Nice enough but not outstanding.

I'm aware of you and vandermolen. I don't know any other.

Teresa Berganza in memoriam, a favourite recording of a favourite work: Stravinsky's Pulcinella conducted by Claudio Abbado.

I suspect that recording of the Elgar would have been much better known if Glorious John had not done it again with Dupre.

[vers la flamme]

Wilhelm Peterson-Berger: Symphony No.2 in E-flat major, "Sunnanfärd". Michail Jurowski, Norrköping Symphony Orchestra

I purchased this CD more or less blindly after seeing some folks on here talking about it a couple weeks ago, and I really like it. A fairly conservative composer, I suppose, but a gifted melodist and orchestrator. I like it.

Jean Francaix
L'Horloge de Flore
Quartet for cor anglais and string quartet
Trio for oboe, bassoon, and piano
String quartet
various performers
(on Spotify)



Delightful! Witty and charming music, thoroughly tonal with just the right amount of dissonance mixed in. Reminds me a lot of Poulenc...

[vers la flamme]

Emil Tabakov: 5 Bulgarian Dances. Emil Tabakov, Bulgarian National Radio Symphony Orchestra

Another blind purchase based on the rave reviews of some people here. Sounds awesome so far. Very percussive oriented.

[Todd]

Disc two equivalent.

I was somewhat disappointed by this work. It's early Novák if my memory serves. Nice enough but not outstanding.

You and I feel similarly. It really wasn't too memorable, but there was some beautiful writing for the piano --- of course, this isn't enough to save it for me.

Now playing this entire recording (a new acquisition):



Lovely, but I suppose this was to be expected. Gorgeous works.
