Buxtehude: Organ Works [Rogg]





I started dipping into this set this morning.

In the late 1970es Lionel Rogg recorded a distinguished Buxtehude organ integral for EMI. This twofer is unfortunately the only part of it which has been released on CD.

Thank you for that information. I did not know that.
I do have Lionel Rogg's integral cycle of JS Bach's Organ Works on vinyl.

Ottorino Respighi
Concerto Gregoriano

This is a tremendous disc - both musically and in this performance!

[Todd]

[Traverso]

Nice! It is indeed wonderful music, Jan.

The harpsichord concertos are very well performed
I am very picky when it comes to Bach and the Cembalo I am very pleasantly surprised by the energetic engagement without peculiar frills that only distract. I have lived with the Leonhard recordings for years, but these recordings are very attractive.

[Papy Oli]

I started on this wonderful CD this morning

A lovely set of concertos this, Fergus.

Happy Saint Patrick's Day my friend!

To be fair, the bar is set rather high with Leonhardt. The fact that you are enjoying Belder so much is a testament to his performances here, I think.

[Florestan]

That was sheer delight. Some real gems in there.

Now playing:

The CD is a joy to listen to.

Happy Saint Patrick's Day my friend!   

Merci bien, mon ami 

The festivities will not kick off in this house until this evening.
However, that will be somewhat tempered with stress and pressure as we will be having my 100 year old mother-in-law to dinner and I am the cook

Happy St. Patrick's Day, Fergus!  What's on the menu, chef? 

[VonStupp]

Antonín Dvořák
Carnival Overture, op. 92
Symphonic Variations, op. 78
Slavonic Rhapsody 3 in A-flat Major, op. 45
Biblical Songs, op. 99

Brian Rayner Cook, baritone
Scottish NO - Neeme Järvi

Long got rid of Järvi's Dvořák symphony cycle, although I enjoyed it well enough.

I still hold on to the Symphonic Poems and this compilation of filler works from that cycle, although I don't know if I need to keep this one anymore.

I am sure it is not the most authentic or authoritative, but I really like Rayner Cook's singing in the Biblical Songs here.

What's on the menu, chef?
