Karl, (and anybody), what are your top 5-10 records conducted by Lenny? Just curious.

As the anybody named, I find Bernstein's own works are best done by Lenny himself (and usually Columbia/Sony NYP). They might not be his greatest recordings of all time, but I swear by him in his own music.

Rzewski: Winnsboro Cotton Mill Blues

Recommended by old Dave, I enjoyed this. A mesmerizing piece.





Nikolai Tcherepnin: Le Destin - Symphonic Fragments on a Ballad by Poe

An interesting late-Romantic piece. The orchestration and rhythmic vitality were the elements I felt stronger. Worth a listen.

The current annihilation of a people on this planet (you know which one it is) is the most documented and at the same time the most preposterously denied. The terror IS REAL!

Widor: Symphony No. 3 in E minor, Op. 69 (with organ)

Sounds rather anonymous, pedestrian, forgettable. Meh.

Tabakov: Cello Concerto

Intensity is a word that comes to mind when the composer's music is concerned. Fascinating.

Roy Harris: Symphony No.3 NYPO (Sony/CBS)
Bernstein: 'Jeremiah Symphony' (CBS/Sony) (on the same LP as the Harris)
VW: Symphony No.4 (CBS/Sony)
Shostakovich: Symphony No.5 NYPO (CBS/Sony)
Bernstein: 'Facsimile' (Dutton, with another fine version of 'Jeremiah')

I like his Mahler recordings as well.

I'm not that keen on the choral version of Vaughan Williams' Serenade to Music but this is a fantastic version of the Sinfonia Antartica in spectacular sound.

Mennin, not a composer I am familiar with. Thanks for posting, will listen to the other symphony later.
You must have a very good opinion of yourself to write a symphony - John Ireland.

I opened the door people rushed through and I was left holding the knob - Bo Diddley.

Stravinsky and Copland for me. After hearing on "Record Review" the Storm in Britten's Grimes Interludes which blows your socks off, that too.

Franz Liszt
Dante Symphony, S. 109
Dante Sonata, Après une lecture du Dante: Fantasia quasi Sonata

Berlin PO - Daniel Barenboim (piano)

I have never really taken to Liszt's Dante Symphony, having really only heard Jesús López-Cobos from the 70's with the Suisse Romande (below), but it struck me rather well this time around with Barenboim.

The Dante Sonata is a bit of slow-going spectacle, found on YouTube in Bayreuth with Barenboim.
