What are you listening 2 now?

[Karl Henning]

Strong composition and a strong performance, I would say fierce and it fits the piece.

One of my favorite pieces of Louis'!

[Karl Henning]

Vagn Holmboe
Symphony № 4, Op. 29 / M. 132 « Sinfonia sacra » (1941)
Chamber Concerto № 4, Op. 30 / M. 139 (1942)
String Quartet № 4, Op. 63 / M. 183 (1953-54)

The opening Allegro appassionato has (I want almost to say) a strangely martial tone for a Sinfonia sacra, but of course, he composed it in tempore belli, so there's got to be a story in there.

Witold Lutoslawski

Bruckner Symphony No. 5 in B Flat Major, 1878 Version Ed. Leopold Nowak, Bruckner Orchester Linz, Kurt Eichhorn 

[Symphonic Addict]

I will look into it. I did find some recordings of individual symphonies streaming.

Hope you can get them, worth listening all of them.

Kosuge is like a demon unleashed when she feels the urge, and the resulting thunder and lightening seems not far off the real thing at times.

Berio: Music for string quartet (Quatuor No. 1, Sincronie, Notturno and Glosse)

Notturno has some interesting music, it saved the listen. The other pieces are harder to like.

[SonicMan46]

Beethoven - Violin Sonatas - PIs vs. MIs - enjoy both but Ogata and Watson are quite impressive - reviews attached.  Dave

 

[Bachtoven]

Ooh...e-classical has the hi-res version of this new release a day early. The big works are Krenek's Sonata No.2 and his completion of Schubert's Sonata D.840. The pianist states he will probably not play the Schubert-Krenek in concert due to its extreme difficulty.

Frederick Delius
Partsongs

Elysian Singers of London
Matthew Greenall

You can hear a striking harmonic change in Delius between his early chorus music and the later ones from after his operas. Laying out the music chronologically certainly helps identify Delius' progress as a composer.
