Kodály: Psalmus Hungaricus (Lajos Kozma, tenor; London Symphony Orchestra, Wandsworth School Boys' Choir, Brighton Festival Chorus, Istvan Kertesz)

Part of the tragedy of the Palestinians is that they have essentially no international support for a good reason: they've no wealth, they've no power, so they've no rights.

Mozart: Divertimento no.10 ("Lodron no.1")



A different recording from the 'usual' Vegh series, and a live recording. It's not hard to hear why Vegh is considered one of the best guides to this repertoire. Everything feels perfectly poised.
I am now working on a discography of the works of Vagn Holmboe. Please visit and also contribute!

August 1969 was to mark the first anniversary of the Russian invasion of Czechoslovakia, hence the national colors.

Quote from: prémont on April 16, 2024, 11:35:46 AMHard to tell because you can't see the relief of the wings. It could be a variant of the so-called Defiant.

Quote from: Spotted Horses on April 16, 2024, 09:28:00 AMThat is grotesque! It would work better in one of the WWII era planes that is most interesting to me, the Douglas Dauntless.

Vaughan Williams
Job (1954 recording)
LPO, Boult (Pristine/Decca)
Boult, the dedicatee, recorded this 4 times - I saw him conduct it on VW's 100th birthday in 1972.
First time I heard it - I then had to dash out and purchase the (2nd EMI recording) LP  ::)

The covers for TSOTF are as clueless and unrelated to Renaissance music as the ones for Beauty Farm, I suspect the same origin.

"Supermarine's designers did come up with the idea for a two-seater training variant of the aircraft, but only one was actually built. After the Second World War, Supermarine revived the idea after learning of several 'unofficial' conversions, and a few Mark IX Spitfires were transformed into two-seaters known as TR9s."

Lord Gallaway's Delight - An Excellent Collection of Dances and Gaelic Laments.
Siobhan Armstrong (Irish Harp), & Les Witches.
Recorded: 2012 at the La Courroie, (Entraigues sur la Sorgue)
See for more details back cover.

A thoroughly delightful disc, just for a change. In general  I like this fusion of Styles, Renaissance, Baroque, Celtic, Folk, especially if it is so well done, and recorded.
