Holst
Sāvitri, Op. 25

Quote possibly. Another thing I've noticed is that prices tend to go up and down, seemingly randomly, which I suspect is intended to prompt people who hold an item in their shopping cart to pull the trigger.

What I've sometimes wondered is if Amazon is showing different prices to different users (perhaps showing lower prices to customers their algorithm has identified as cheap skates, and higher prices to profligate spenders). That's what I would do.
...

OT from the thread, but I have to laugh thinking about all the times I've seen on Amazon "1 left, order soon" and then looking an hour later and seeing "20 in stock, more on the way".

Maiden-Listen Monday!

Holst
Sāvitri, Op. 25

Savitri is a genuine masterpiece - such economy of form and expression but deeply moving at the same time (well that's my half penny's worth!)

[Mandryka]

Listening to the first CD of Kooiman's AoF for Coronata, which I'm very happy to have received today. It seems wonderfully noble, strong and gentle, and humane.  Lyrical too, with long singing phrases.

(Cpt 4 playing now - very intense playing.)

And now a memorably good cpt 6 - in style francese

[Linz]

Brahms Symphony No. 4 Brahms Haydn Variations and Schubert Symphony No. 5 under the baton of Istvan Kertesz

Savitri is a genuine masterpiece - such economy of form and expression but deeply moving at the same time (well that's my half penny's worth!)

Love it!

Some Holst for me too, with one of my favourite recordings:

Gustav Holst
The Planets

[Todd]

Disc one.

[Karl Henning]

Britten
Sinfonietta, Op. 1

[Traverso]

Listening to the first CD of Kooiman's AoF for Coronata, which I'm very happy to have received today. It seems wonderfully noble, strong and gentle, and humane.  Lyrical too, with long singing phrases.

(Cpt 4 playing now - very intense playing.)

It's remarkable how performances can be valued so differently, Premont thought that the AoF sounded uninspired. I haven't listened to it myself yet.

Another great VW disc, combining two of his greatest works in fine performances under Abravanel.

Absolutely!

NP:

Weinberg
Symphony No. 6, Op. 79
Wiener Sängerknaben, Wiener Symphoniker
Vladimir Fedoseyev



I really should get back to exploring Weinberg's oeuvre. Such a fantastic composer.

[Mandryka]

It's remarkable how performances can be valued so differently, Premont thought that the AoF sounded uninspired. I haven't listened to it myself yet.

He can speak for himself but maybe the lyricism was not to his taste. And maybe the sound was not sufficiently clear and equally balanced in all voices - though this may be a question of engineering.

I'd be surprised if anyone could say that the Cpt 6 is uninspired playing though.

Nice! Reger is another composer I need to spend more time with, because I do hear something personal in his music, but he's kind of a hard egg to crack.

[DizzyD]

Paul Tortelier playing Kodaly's Op. 8. A great cellist whose playing I should've listened to more over the years.

Gustav Holst
