New release. My first encounter with Ginastera. Sounds great.

Ginastera is phenomenal. Even though the 3rd SQ is tougher, you acquainted him via some of his best works in my view.

[Symphonic Addict]

Roussel: Piano Sonatina
Rózsa: Piano Sonata

Whilst the Roussel has a rather sparkling, witty nature, the Rózsa sounds more forceful and mysterious. The 3rd movement alone is worth the price of admission. Absolutely rousing!

This reminds me of a post by someone who's not around any longer sadly, @mjwal -- it was this post which introduced me to Muffat's concertos, it's music I love.

Indeed, most eloquently put. My thanks.

Woke up in the middle of the night. Went outside to look at the full moon. Put on an album I just read about on the forum. Going back to sleep soon.

This is really good, actually! I'm a bit surprised since my admiration for Letzbor has cooled down a bit over the years, with his style gradually "hardening". But this might supercede my Frederico Guglielmo recording (Brilliant). Oh, and these pieces are highly recommended! Ample proof that Telemann was not all "bluff and fluster"! 

How does it compare to Rachel Podger's recording?

Colourful, vibrant, folksy Norwegian music at its best.

As before, I have my reservations about the conceptual programming. But they picked mostly great music and overall the performances are stunning.

Beautiful!

How does it compare to Rachel Podger's recording?

I cannot say.

Hope it was a quiet night.

Hope it was a quiet night.

Yes, quiet, thank you.

Brahms: Piano trio no.3 in C minor, op.101



I always struggle to remember what this piece sounds like, because the piano quartet no.3 is also in C minor. But it's fine music despite the fact that I only remember it when I'm hearing it!
