Bit of morning fun, one of the best Spanish/Latin American piano recitals I know.

[Todd]

Fantastic in every way.  His one DG recording seems to have never been digitized, and he otherwise rarely records.  He's too obscure to have a lot of live recordings hit the market.

"Papa"
Quartets, Op. 64 N^os. 4-6
Amadeus Quartet

I don't recall seeing a CD release of that. Did you listen to the LP?

[Dry Brett Kavanaugh]

Nostalgic cover....

Yes!!!

Listened to this edition.

[Linz]

[Traverso]

Enescu

[Spotted Horses]

Yes!!!

Listened to this edition.

Oh, No! No! No!

That CD is the 1959 stereo recording. The first cover you showed was the 1955 mono recording! You had me thinking that the mono recording had been released on CD, somehow. I'm a Mercury fanatic, you see.

[Mandryka]

Call me crazy but I like it - op 111/ii that is!

Someone gave me a recording of a concert in 2002 where he played it, and it takes five minutes less time. But I thought it was not very interesting.

I got this out, and once I resolved to get over the hurdle of the theme I really appreciate the pianism and the ideas in fact. The trick - don't get hung up by the arietta!

[Todd]

The trick - don't get hung up by the arietta!

That is hard to do.

[JBS]

Stravinsky Petrushka. Dorati/Minneapolis.


 

IIRC that photo shows Nijinsky in costume for the title role.

CD 1 atm, I'll probably go right on to CD2

If I understand the booklet essay correctly, four tracks were released digitally at the time of the CD at whose sessions they were recorded.

The bulk of the program is a series of concertos from SWR radio broadcasts, which Friere had approved of releasing, with three tracks recorded in Berlin 2014 while Friere was recording Beethoven's Opus 111 as a coupling to the Emperor Concerto.

I hadn't heard these masses in ages. There is very sublime choral writing here. Glad I revisited them.
