Kôsçak Yamada: Symphony in F major, "Triumph & Peace". Takuo Yuasa, Ulster Orchestra

What a gloriously life affirming piece of music this is. Deserves to be much more popular than it is.

I like the look of that one! I have the 'Nagauta Symphony'.

This recording explores some of the lesser-known music from eighteenth-century Vienna that combines solo voice with virtuoso trombones.

Good morning all,

A first listen to the work: Mozart - Great Mass in C minor (Gardiner)

[MusicTurner]

Michael Tippett's
Fantasia Concertante

Neville Marriner, Academy of
St. Martin-in-the-Fields

A stunning work.

Yes - generally, the Brits are indeed very good at composing works for strings ...

Continuing the backwards march through Mozart Piano Sonatas, KV457 in c minor (No 14)



Now I have arrived at a sonata that I have clear memories of having listened to long ago (perhaps Arrau on a Philips LP). It is music with some considerable intensity, with a somber finale instead of a joyful rondo. I find it impossible to find fault with Zacharais' performance.

Benda Brothers - Violin Sonatas & Concertos by Franz and Keyboard Concertos by Georg - finishing up my Benda recordings this morning.  According to the Shelley booklet, Georg Benda wrote 10 harpsichord concertos (other web sources suggest less?) - Shelley is on piano and Bauer on harpsichord; each recording has 4 concertos with at least two and likely three being the same works (in my matching the movement names), so there are likely 5 concertos on the two discs; of course on different keyboard instruments.  Dave

     

From my collection:



One of two delectable recordings of harpsichord concertios on the tiny Czech label Arta:

Revisiting Ms Fung's music on Naxos.  The disc has not only held up well, it now strikes me as better than it did initially.
