What are you listening 2 now?

[Iota]

Aus tiefer Not schrei ich zu dir, BWV 38

Such an inspired opening chorus amongst other things.

Que - own the Van Oort box but listened to the other KB recordings inserted above in my collection (Brautigam from his Haydn Sonata box) this morning - enjoyed both but Lubimov on a tangent piano is special.  Dave

I'm curious about Lubimov, great pianist!

The Brautigam, I know: good but IMO not as special as Van Oort.

on the radio:

Getting' some Glossa goodness.

R. Strauss: Salome, final scene (Asmik Grigorian / Fabien Gabel / l'Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France). I look forward to hearing Grigorian live some day, in the entire opera. And as great as she is, Gabel and the orchestra are equally mesmerizing. Great horns, flute, everybody.

[Mapman]

Parsifal: Karfreitagszauber
Karajan, et al.

[brewski]

Haydn: String Quartet in E-flat, "The Joke" (Emerson String Quartet). The comic timing in the finale is wonderful.

Penderecki: Utrenja (Part I: The Entombment Of Christ)



Sadly there are no texts in the booklet but I found them on an image of the Ormandy recording.

Hindemith, Sonata for unaccompanied Viola, Op 11, No 5, Nobuko Imai



I started my listening to the Hindemith Sonatas with this one, and it didn't resonate. Then I started going through Hindemith's Op 11, and revisiting this work, it definitely resonates as a brilliant piece. It is a four movement form beginning with a succinct but moving fantasia and ending with a passacaglia. Imai is a genius.

Op. 106

[nico1616]

Maybe one of the best in the series. The symphonies 80 & 81 are not that often recorded and surely are great works.

I'm interested in trying the series.
After picking Harnoncourt and Weil in Haydn symphonies (and passing over Hogwood), I kind of moved on. Time to explore these new recordings.

I have most of the volumes and it gets better as they move on. The orchestral sound of the first 4 volumes is a bit too thin for me. Highlights for me are n°53/54/33 (vol.14), n°6/7/8 (vol.10) and n°82/87/24 (vol.11).
Try one of these and if you don't like them, the series will not be for you
