Quote from: Symphonic Addict on May 21, 2025, 07:12:58 PMThese Marco Polo discs devoted to Respighi don't cease to amaze me. The exotic La pentola magica with its echoes of Borodin, Rimsky-Korsakov and Glazunov is a hoot. The other two ballets were unknown to me and they are incredibly delightful, carefree and fun to listen to. Sèvres de la vieille France has some irresistible music. Loving Respighi's music more and more.





Tellingly, the track of La Pentola Magica is in the compilation album, The Best of Marco Polo!

Meulemans: Adagio for strings 

Spotted Horses

Weinberg, String Quartet No 9



This quartet had its moments, particularly in the first and third movements. But too much lotto voce music for my taste.
Formerly Scarpia (Scarps), Baron Scarpia, Ghost of Baron Scarpia, Varner, Ratliff, Parsifal, perhaps others.

Cool piece, Karl! I've got the Botstein recording:



I've have to revisit it.
