It's a good 'un! The sound is not as good as on Barenboim's Erato recording, but the performance is more intense.

Schumann: Märchenbilder Op.113 (for viola and piano)

Nice enough, but not Schumann at his most distinctive imo. The final piece has a poignant nostalgic yearning to it that I do find touching.

Interestingly oldfashioned!

Joseph Haydn
Symphony No. 104

Herbert von Karajan & Berliner Philharmoniker

[Madiel]

Perhaps it might be a prudent idea to get some sort of ear protection to dampen outside noises? 

PD

The chances of it happening again are so remote that no, it isn't really prudent.

I paused it to get out into the beautiful weather. Will report.

For the 200th anniversary of the premiere of the great Beethoven's 9th Symphony:

Ludwig van Beethoven
Symphony No.9

Herbert von Karajan & Berliner Philharmoniker

[Bachtoven]

I've heard about this duo for a long time, but this is my first time hearing them play--very impressive!

Mostly yes. I'd think I'd be enjoying even more of it there hadn't been road works (specifically DRILLING) just outside my hotel room at 2:25am on Sunday. That wasn't a pleasant experience and my system hasn't fully recovered.

I thought they only do that here in Florida.

I have sat in a traffic jam here on I-95 because of construction at midnight on a Saturday.

Wilson seems to have a special gift for music for strings.

Did you like it?

Deliciously atmospheric. Definitely coming back to this.

Bruckner Symphony No. 5 in B Flat Major, 1878 Version Ed. Leopold Nowak, The Cleveland Orchestra, Christoph von Dohnányi

[Cato]

This came across the desk today by chance:

Happy, jaunty little piece!


And so, after hearing that work for the first time, I used the opportunity to listen to this other excellent work by Theodore Dubois:

I do not know if they do this everywhere, but YouTube now has the highly annoying habit of inserting commercials in the middle of movements!  Ads appeared at random twice during both of the above!

Of course, YouTube wants money to NOT interrupt you with ads.

Because I keep posting that I need to revisit these:
