What are you listening 2 now?

[brewski]

Franck, Strauss and Beethoven. Ndr Symphony Orchestra Hamburg/Eugene Ormandy. Love the Hamburg orchestra. Very different from the Philly sound. @brewski I wonder if you like this recording.

Wow, what a find. Other than the sole London SO recording in the recent box (1964-83), I don't recall seeing Ormandy with other orchestras, so this is a real outlier. Needless to say, don't know that recording!

UPDATE: I actually had a moment, so listening to the Franck now.

Mascagni: Messa di Gloria

This is an uplifting beauty. Very enjoyable, albeit the performance has its flaws.

Debussy: La mer, (Arr. for Piano Trio by Sally Beamish)
Neave Trio


Never heard the piano trio arrangement of La Mer before, I really like it! Sally Beamish has done something very illuminating I think, the intimacy of the piano trio becomes the music well, it rises and falls majestically, but has a sense too of seeing a beautiful shell through a magnifying glass.
Nicely done by the Neave Trio, but plan to explore other performances also.

I listened to some of their Gombert this morning. I really do prefer their sound to Beauty Farm's - even if the latter are more polished and accurate.  They're more airy.

He composed at least three dozen KB sonatas (likely more according to the AI search below), and wrote numerous other works for the piano.  Dave
