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

Now:
Carl Nielsen
Symphony No.5

Fabio Luisi & Danish National Symphony Orchestra

[Traverso]

Beethoven

Piano Sonatas 1-4   ( stereo)

[Daverz]

Mahler from a French orchestra sounds interesting.

The Bloch recording of the Mahler 7 is great.  Excellent playing, conducting, and sonics.

Madetoja: Kullervo

Mahler from a French orchestra sounds interesting.

Not quite French but I was very impressed with this live Mahler 3 recently;



A fine Lyric Symphony thrown in......

1.  Light, quick, crisp, Apollonian.  Finally, a Fleisher recording I enjoy without reservation.

[Bachtoven]

He's a top-class virtuoso, and the sound is excellent. In fact, I've never heard a bad release from Eudora...and least from a sound perspective.

Bruckner Symphony No. 7 in E Major, 1885 Version. Ed.Leopold Nowak Berliner Philharmoniker

[Lisztianwagner]

Arnold Schönberg
Five Pieces for Orchestra
Cello Concerto (after Monn)*

Robert Craft & LSO/Philharmonia Orchestra*

[Todd]

[VonStupp]

Antonín Dvořák
String Quartet 4 in e minor
Panocha Quartet

I found Dvořák's 3rd a bit more put together thematically, at least compared to the interminable 2nd, but it goes on and on and on.

I find the 4th intriguing; the second mvt with the drone/pedal sounded static yet engaging. I will give it another go after a while.

Revisiting this with pleasure:

Has it really been 4 1/2 years?
I have not attended a concert since then.

Victor Babin (one half of piano duo Vronsky & Babin) was a fine composer based on the evidence of this beautiful Concerto for Two Pianos
