I couldn't attend the local orchestra's performance on Beethoven's 9th.  I'm glad I didn't buy tickets.  I had to be up earlier than usual for extra work.

But I'll make up for it now by listening to Dausgaard's LvB 9:

The harmonies in the last minute of that opening D major prelude are extraordinary! And the change of registration halfway through the chorale on the following track is magical. Don't have much more time to listen tonight, but a very promising start, great recommendation, @DavidW!

Funny enough I found that set because I loved the Bach in Solaris and I listened to literally every single recording I could find to identify the one had the most emotional resonance with me. This as the one. But the whole set is great!

Quote from: brewski on May 08, 2024, 10:49:06 AMDvořák: String Quartet No. 1 (Zemlinsky Quartet). At my request, an acquaintance sent me his doctoral thesis on the 14 string quartets, so I'm going to listen to those that I don't know that well, and dip into his comments. Like many people, I've heard No. 12 (the "American") more than the others, so I want to remedy that.

So far, No. 1 is as charming as any of them.

The opening melody of No. 10 has recently become one of my favorite moments in all music. A tune that captures such a specific, complex, relaxed but wistful and a little sad emotion - like the best things, it stands outside of the realm of words.

But you have eight more to go before then! Enjoy!  8)

Connection errors. Thank you Qobuz. I ended up listening to

Well, based on this comment — coupled with Fate and whim — they may be listened to in non-chronological order.  ;D

I am pretty sure I've never heard No. 10.

No.5 and 6 from this excellent set. Great playing, and the sound is very good...if a little too reverberant.

That set is an all-around fave!

Yun: Concertino for accordion and string quartet

One of the most interesting pieces that feature the accordion I have ever heard. Yun's lyricism could be a little coarse or tough, but I like it.

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.

Beethoven's late sonatas receive tremendous performances captured in excellent sound.
