What are you listening 2 now?

[Der lächelnde Schatten]

I don't know this, but Rautavaara is usually in my top 5, or at worst, 10.

It's a gorgeous work and for someone who appreciates Vasks or those violin/orchestra works from Sibelius (sans the VC) would, I imagine, find enjoyment in this work.

Already in my Rautavaara playlist, apparently, but now on my radar.

Thanks 😁

My pleasure. Aho did a marvelous job on the completion of the second movement. I think he honored his teacher to beautiful effect.

Late Romantic, Early Modern composers this evening, apparently 🤷�♂️

Why not? First time I have really been able to listen to anything of any note for a bit, tonight, so it is nice to explore.

[AnotherSpin]

Roused around 3 am by the familiar rumble of air defences. Yet another nocturnal performance from our Russian neighbours. A few calming drops (purely medicinal), a bit of Bach, and back to pretending all was perfectly ordinary.

NP: MacMillan The Exorcism of Rio Sumpúl

NP: MacMillan String Quartet No. 1, "Visions of a November Spring"

[Der lächelnde Schatten]

NP: Koechlin Symphony No. 1, Op. 57bis

[Symphonic Addict]

Three string quartets and other miscellaneous pieces by Gibbs. I liked them more than expected. Very good pieces. I hope his other quartets will have the same luck as these ones to be recorded.

[Symphonic Addict]

Concertante works for cello by Malipiero, Ghedini, and Casella. Nikolay Shugaev (cello, joined on a second cello by Dimitrii Prokofiev in Ghedini's L'Olmeneta), Rostov Academic Symphony Orchestra, Valentin Uryupin (cond.).

The Ghedini is an incredible composition, quite different from any other style I know.

Martinu: Suites from 'Istar'

Wonderful music and now I want to hear the complete ballet. Is there any work by Martinu I don't like?

NP: Janáček String Quartet No. 2, "Intimate Letters"



I haven't listened to any Janáček in quite some time. Love this composer's music dearly.
