Rubbra: String Quartet #1
Dante Quartet

I haven't listened to Rubbra in a while. This is a nice piece; the finale is especially engaging.

My favorites are- 4 Klavierstücke; Silhouetten; Blätter und Blüten; Kleine Vortragsstücke; and Episoden. Some of the videos below are played by Jean Martin, not Markus Becker.

Have a wonderful weekend, Karl!

The last two CDs of this set

Schumann
Papillons
Kinderszenen
Piano Concerto

Franck
Symphonic Variations
With Eliyahu Inbal conducting the Concertgebouw in the concertante works

Followed by
Mozart
Piano Sonata 12 in F K332
Piano Sonata 13 in B FlatK333
Recorded in 1953, CD length not quite 40 minute. Almost like an encore at the end of a long recital.
Not to make the Mozart concerto cycle, the Schubert sonatas, the Mozart sonatas, the Mozart-Beethoven-Schubert violin sonata cycles, or the various chamber works seem like they're overrated, because they're not, but I found the most interesting part of the box to be the 7 CDs of music by J C Bach, in part because it's much less known than other portions of her discography.

Much love for Rubbra!
"A quiet secluded life in the country, with the possibility of being useful to people ... then work which one hopes may be of some use; then rest, nature, books, music, love for one's neighbour — such is my idea of happiness"

Another run of this. Most of this music is breathtakingly beautiful. Like the opening song ma douce amour by Johannes Symonis Hasprois.

My favourite recording of the Symphony of Sorrowful Songs.

Sorry for reposting! But I still saved for later listening some of the organ pieces that were together with vocal pieces published in 1601 as the collection "Lustgarten - Neuer Teutscher Gesäng, Balletti, Galliarden und Intraden". Played on the ancient organ (1509) of the San Francesco Church in Trevi, Umbria, built by Paolo Pietro di Paolo di Montefalco.
