Six preludes of Shostakovich (1-6), five improvisations (11-15) of Poulenc.

Not as different as one might expect. :)

15.  This set illustrates the benefits of streaming.  Executive brilliance is evident throughout.  But it just does nothing for me.  Given their excellent Beethoven and best in my listening experience Ligeti, this disappoints.

Spatial distortion is a serious problem deteriorating headphone listening.
Crossfeeders reduce spatial distortion and make the sound more natural
and less tiresome in headphone listening.

Looks like plenty of great music on the board recently.  Especially like the Carter concertos and the Telemann chamber music.

For me, the Pettersson is screaming through my brain so for relief I hit Bruckner's 7th and Mahler's 7th (the latter from Brian's rec)



Brian did not overhype it!  And the Bruckner 7th is one of my all time favorite symphonies.

Mahler from a French orchestra sounds interesting.

Same.  I used to own that recording and I don't even remember what it sounds like, but their Beethoven is etched into my memory.

Czerny, Carl (1791-1857) - Chamber Works - a wide variety w/ the first recording below on natural horn and fortepiano - own about 14 discs of Czerny, 6 being piano sonatas w/ Martin Jones - Dave :)

QuoteCarl Czerny was an Austrian composer, teacher, and pianist of Czech origin whose music spanned the late Classical and early Romantic eras. His vast musical production amounted to over a thousand works and his books of studies for the piano are still widely used in piano teaching. He was one of Ludwig van Beethoven's best-known pupils.

Roasted Swan

Just been listening to;



to which the only question can be - why?  Perhaps for venues/orchestras that could not otherwise accomodate it yes - but on disc with hundreds of 'normal' versions to choose from who'd want this...?

Terrific performance for the 4th Symphony, in my opinion, maybe a bit rushed just in the beginning, but powerful, vivid and beautifully thrilling overall.
