Morning listening on Spotify:

He certainly needs a better cover!!

[Traverso]

The Unknown Lover

[JBS]

Hahn's a great player and its certainly an unusual coupling - any explanation as to why "eclipse"??

No direct mention in the liner notes that I saw, but she wrote a little essay on how (good) it felt to record and play in concert after taking a sabbatical in 2019 that merged with the Covid lockdowns to keep her offstage for an extended time. Perhaps it's a reference to that.

Hanson: 'Sinfonia Sacra' (Symphony No.5)

I do like that disc.

[Karl Henning]

Igor Stravinsky's
Le Rossignol

Igor Stravinsky, Washington D.C. Opera Society Orchestra and Chorus,
William Murphy (baritone), Stanley Kolk (tenor), Elaine Bonazzi (mezzo-soprano),
Herbert Beatie (bass), Kenneth Smith (bass), Loren Driscoll (tenor)

Through an accident of timing, it was Craft's recording (reissued on Naxos) which sold me on Le Rossignol. but of course, I have no quarrel with the composer's own take.

Morning listening on Spotify:



For some reason this was never issued on disc, which is a real pity since this is a successful performance of rare repertoire.

Too much protest against the artwork I presume

[Pohjolas Daughter]

Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 21 KV 467 with Malcolm Sargent, the LSO and Artur Schnabel from 1937 on The Piano Library.

When Mozart's in the house, you know all is going to be well.

The last half-hour has indeed been just fine with this:

Mozart - Symphonies No.1 & N.4 (Pinnock)



Now:

Brahms - Cello Sonata No.2 Op.99 (Wispelwey, Komen)

[Spotted Horses]

Mozart Piano Sonata K284, Zacharias, then van Oort.





A fairly ambitious sonata, with a strong opening allegro, a charming polonaise that serves as a slow movement and an inventive set of variations to close. Both the piano and fortepiano performances satisfy.

[Lisztianwagner]

Some Mozart for me too:

W.A. Mozart
Piano Concerto No.24

Vladimir Ashkenazy & Philharmonia Orchestra

[Pohjolas Daughter]

Something about Mozart and sundays just seem to go together. 

Latest listening:

Vaughan Williams' Symphony No. 5 with Leonard Slatkin and the Philharmonia Orchestra recorded in 1990 at Watford Town Hall.  I know that it's a good performance when my eyes start welling up in tears....and that was before I started chopping up onions (currently in the midst of making my chicken minstrone soup.  Most of the hard work is over with...yeah!).

This box is rather different from the other free/$0.99 downloads: it's mostly comprised of really lengthy collections.  This is the first time I've heard the Chandos Anthems.  This dated recording is old-fashioned in every way, which more or less fits the music.  I very seriously doubt I bother with another version of this music.

If I understand you correctly, there is a causal relationship between onions and  Vaughan Williams.
