Yes, I remember enjoying Paul Bunyan quite a bit! I ought to revisit!

Some passages in S's music really work on my nerves, unbearable, which is way I avoid his music, which is a pity, the piano pieces don't have that feature, so those I can keep listening.

Interesting.

Great recording !

Verdi's Requiem. Ricciarelli, Verrett, Domingo, Ghiaurov, chorus and Orchestra of the Teatro alla Scala, Claudio Abbado (cond.).

Actually, independent of the conversation, which I finally noticed, I had on my menu for today either the 11th or 13th from Kitajenko:

Like Karl, I rate this set very highly.

Nice! In a perfect world, I should have liked that box.

Prompted by this post, I now have ...

Dmitri Shostakovich
Symphony 11, The Year 1905
Rudolf Barshai
WDR Sinfonieorchester
Brilliant Classics

Barshai often draws my interest, tbh. Without sounding a broken record, the Kitayenko, Kondrashin, and Petrenko have become my majority listens, alongside Barshai. I know there are countless others with merit, but these work for me at the moment.

Isn't that sublime?

Revisiting some of the Craigslistlieder by Gabriel Kahane, whose texts use actual words from the titular website. Sample below, "You Looked Sexy."

[SonicMan46]

Rachmaninov, Sergei - Piano Concertos + Rhapsody w/ Earl Wild from 1965 and Daniil Trifonov from 2018/19 - love these works which I've been culling for decades - at the moment have the two sets below, a 50+ year difference in recording dates! The Wild is particularly impressive not only for great performances under Horenstein's baton but excellent remastering/restoration.  Dave

Anton Bruckner Symphony No. 4 in E Flat Major, 1878/80 Version (1880 with Bruckner's 1886 revisions) - Ed. Leopold Nowak
Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra; Sergiu Celibidache

Perhaps not countless, but that does not materially alter your point. You remind me that I have not listened to Barshai in the Eleventh, so that is next up after:

Rolling on with the same set on account of having a fat cat asleep on my chest.

Symphony 12, The Year 1917

It is Is is It is...........

De recorded sound is also very fine,it is double Dutch in it's ultimate glory.It is also the organ Leonhardt played many times.
It is a pity that with the heavenly organ sounds the gates of heaven seem to open, but unfortunately they remain closed to many. Many are called but few are chosen.  Is this double Dutch or not !

It's the cats' world, they just let us live here.

It feels countless some days, as I also enjoy the Caetani, Gergiev, Neeme Jarvi, and various Berglund, Temirkanov, and Michael Sanderling.

I don't think there is another composer that I listen to in so many versions.

[Traverso]

Completely by chance I discovered this download which fills a gap in Leonhardt's discography. It is not a CD download but directly from the LP

In my case, Stravinsky, Prokofiev and Shostakovich are the composers with works of which I have the most versions.
