Nielsen: Symphony No. 1

Thomson and his team are in top form here.

[Mirror Image]

Don't know the album, but a great art!

Indeed. This is a Japanese 3-CD reissued set. If the performances on this second disc are any indicators of what's to come with the other two discs, then I'm definitely looking forward to it. Smoking performances.

No wonder I didn't know about the set.

Grieg & Schumann: Piano Concertos

Radu Lupu (piano)- London Symphony Orchestra, André Previn

[Que]

Platti, Giovanni (c. 1697-1763) - Italian born (Padua) but in his mid-20s relocated to Würzburg for the remainder of his life (see quote) - wrote a lot of music, much instrumental - last two days listening to most of the modicum of CDs in my collection shown below - now on the Late Keyboard Sonatas w/ Luca Guglielmi performing on fortepiano (copy by Kerstin Schwarz, Florence 1997, after Bartolomeo Cristofori, Florence 1726; also some sonatas on a reproduction harpsichord after Cristofori).  Dave

 

   

I like Platti, and have some of the discs you pictured! 

I also have the recordings below, and very happy with them.
These are presumably the same sonatas as in the Calligione recording on Brilliant, but in a version whith the lute as basso continuo?

Vaughan Williams: The Wasps - Aristophanic Suite
Boult: London Philharmonic

The overture is great! I'm surprised that I hadn't heard it before.
:

I had the good fortune to hear the Overture live a couple of weeks ago. It's not normally a work that I like but hearing it live made a huge difference:

Bloch 'Israel Symphony'

Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck.
De Wereldlijke Werken.
Volume I
CD III.

French Rimes.
Canons.
Lute Works.

Gesualdo Consort Amsterdam, Harry van der Kamp.

Recommended to all Sweelinck lovers. There is no better option. The complete set comprises of 17 CD"s, all of them as good as the first volume. You can not go wrong with this set.

[Mandryka]

A comfortable and congenial Hoffmeister.

[Tsaraslondon]

I can never quite decide which is my favourite Sibelius symphony, but the bleak 4th is definitely one of them and this 1965 Karajan recording is surely one of the greatest on disc. I love the 7th too, but it is the 4th that somehow speaks to me that bit more. A great coupling.

Arnold: Symphonies Nos. 5 & 6- London Symphony Orchestra, Richard Hickox

[Biffo]

Vaughan Williams: Symphony No 4 in F minor - Halle Orchestra conducted by Sir Mark Elder - can't think why I was disappointed the first time I heard this performance. Now I will have to try the 6th from the same disc.

The Wasps Overture was on the first ever LP I bought (Sargent/LSO)

[ritter]

Ritter, you may well like this, the music is not bad at all, some pieces reactionary some not, and Mario Prisuelos is a nuanced pianist, he produces nuanced colours. Well recorded too. You can find it streaming.

I'm listening to a long piece by a composer I've never even heard of before called Alberto Carretero - piano and live electronics, very evocative.

Sorry, Mandryka. Missed this post of yours yesterday, Except for Héctor Parra, all the names on that disc are new to me. I'll certainly try to seek it out... Thanks!

More wonderful Sibelius from Karajan and the BPO.

[Madiel]

Haydn: the last set of 3 piano trios (numbers 43 to 45 in the more modern Landon numbering)



I listened to each work twice over this afternoon and evening. Thoroughly delightful all round. And that means I've finally finished the Beaux Arts box after about... 16 months? I still haven't listened to some of the other things I purchased at the same time.

[vers la flamme]

Jean Sibelius: The Tempest, Suite No.1, op.109 no.2. Jussi Jalas, Hungarian State Symphony Orchestra

Excellent Sibelius from the composer's son in law.

[steve ridgway]

Webern - Symphony.

[Harry]

Max Reger.

Violin Concerto in A minor, opus 101.

Manfred Scherzer, Violin.
Staatskapelle Dresden, Herbert Blomstedt.

A violin concerto of almost 58 minutes. That is long, but if as marvelously performed and recorded as this interpretation, time passes quickly. This Reger box turns out to be of great quality. I have the complete MDG recordings and those of CPO, but still this box should be added too.

[Todd]

Disc two.
