What are you listening 2 now?

[Nostromo]

Weinberg's Piano Quintet is such a powerful and beautiful work, so I don't know why I don't listen to it more often. (Probably too many other recordings in my library.) This is an excellent performance.

[ritter]

As a lagniappe to tonight's listening, Linda Finnie sings the third of Korngold's Abschiedslieder ("Mond, so gehst du wieder auf"). Edward Downes conducts the BBC Philharmonic.

Anton Bruckner Symphony No. 3 in D Minor, 1889 Version (aka 1888/89) Ed. Leopold Nowak
SWR Stuttgart Radio Symphony Orchestra, Sergiu Celibidache

One of his better Bruckner recordings, I think.  It's not even excessively slow compared to the average for the 1889 version.

Now playing:  Erland von Koch

His Piano Trio, too!

Karl Amadeus Hartmann
Symphony No.2

Rafael Kubelik & Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks

[VonStupp]

Malcolm Arnold
Symphony 5
Symphony 6
RPO - Vernon Handley

I like both of these works. I know Sym 5 is better known, but I would think if one liked either, they would probably enjoy the other as well, even if the two are quite different complete works.

Here's another superb piano recording from BIS.

[Linz]

Gioachino Rossini Overtures
The Chamber Orchestra of Europe, Claudio Abbado

[Mapman]

Lutosławski: Mała Suita

I played (half of) this in college, so it's always fun to come back to it. It's in Lutosławski's "lighter" folk music-influenced style, like the Concerto for Orchestra.

How cool, don't know that piece at all.

[brewski]

Mendelssohn: String Quintet in A Major, Op. 18. I don't know this piece well enough to compare with other versions, but this one has both precision and exuberance. It will be available for a few more days.

[Mapman]

Shostakovich: Violin Concerto #1
Hilary Hahn; Marek Janowski: Oslo Philharmonic

A great recording of a great piece!

[PaulR]

Weinberg: Symphony #20

[Symphonic Addict]

Such a tiny nation, and yet the music they have produced - second to none: Estonia



The two symphonies, a genre I normally don't care for, are easily the highlights. Extraordinary music.

The Raid is one of my favorite symphonies ever by a little-known composer. I'm sure a few others on this forum share this sentiment too.

Schnittke - Quintet For Piano, Two Violins, Viola And Cello

Scelsi - Pfhat - Zender, 1987

For me this pair of discs epitomises what Jarvi/SNO/Chandos did in their considerable pomp.  A* productions all round.
