Some more of my thrifty treasures and making a Bernard Herrmann afternoon of them.  But is it classical music?  This thread seems hardly the place for that discussion, but for the moment I will say that I see most film scores as a sub-genre of classical music, fully aware not everyone will agree. And that's fine, divergence of opinion doesn't bother me (at least in this case! ).  Lending some support to my view is composer and conductor Matthew Aucoin, who, in the May issue of the Atlantic, attempts to tackle the eternal question "What is Classical Music?" and concludes "At its core, classical music isn't 'classical.' It is written music. I mean music that comes into being through the act of composition." It's a very interesting, even compelling thesis (I'm uncertain myself whether I fully agree with it), and it's certainly more complex than I'm painting it. A wag on Reddit says, "Classical music is whatever they'll play during the day on NPR."  By that measure alone, Bernard Herrmann film scores are classical!

Chamber music by Rodolfo Halffter, including the three piano sonatas. All works on this disc are from after the end of the Spanish Civil War, when Rodolfo lived in self-imposed exile in Mexico (he started  travelling on occasions back to Spain in 1963, when the dictator Franco was still very much alive).

I've listened to the first three Lamentations and the Passionarium so far, and am finding it exceedingly beautiful. For whatever psycho-climactic conditions reigning in my head, when I got to the plainchant of the Passionarium it hit home so powerfully, that I almost found the polyphony of the Lamentations 'too' beautiful, as if polyphony obscured the deepest and truest essence of what was being sung. Not my usual experience, polyphony often feels like a kind of musical lifeblood to me, though I do appreciate plainchant at times, it's just that the power of it struck me more vividly today than it has ever done.

Ives - Orchestral Set No. 2

I like Ives' layering of different tunes, a busy space with several things going on at once.

Love 'em!

Anton Bruckner Symphony No. 6 in A Major, 1881 Version. Ed. Leopold Nowak
Saarland Radio Sinfonie Orchester. Hans Zender

[Spotted Horses]

Returned for the 3rd and 4th movements of the 4th symphony. I have to make a note never to listen to this again.

[Symphonic Addict]

Early Martinu already shown signs of an assured genius. The five works on this Toccata disc have no waste. Little Dance Suite is anything but little, it's a forty-two-minute-long tasty and joyful work. Orchestral Movement, H. 90 has a very generic title for such atmospheric music it contains. A superb program altogether.

Another Spanish exile in Mexico: Jesús Bal y Gay. José Luis Temes conducts the Orquesta de Córdoba in the complete orchestral works (including a curious arrangement of the Brandenburg Concerto No. 6 for full modern symphony orchestra, commissioned by Carlos Chávez).

New Boccherini acquisition arrived today - String Quintets Op. 60 - 6 works on 2 CDs w/ the Baciocchi String Quintet; most of Luigi's 5 instrument works in this genre used 2 cellos - as is seen in the cover art below, just one cello is used. The bottom pic shows a summary of his works for 5 instruments according to the Gérard catalog, i.e. from G. 265-378 are 2 cello quintets and G. 379-406 are 2 viola/1 cello quintets - i.e. a total of about 140 works with 80% being for 2 cellos. Dave

List of compositions of classical composer Luigi Boccherini (1743-1805). Boccherini's works were catalogued by the French musicologist Yves Gérard (1932–2020) in the Gérard catalog, published in London (1969), hence the "G" numbers for his output. (Source)
