[Nostromo]

This is considerably less harrowing than the Halffter! All three trios would have been nice, but these two are very well played, and DG's has provided excellent sound.

Decided to join you in that and am enjoying it immensely! In unfussy manner they do amazing things with amazing music imo.

I see/hear what you mean 
They have a very clean "sound".

[Symphonic Addict]

the first piece of D'Indy I ever got to know and certainly the one that 'hooked me in'.  Very attractive and appealing work.

It was one of the first works that introduced me to that composer 15 years ago, and it was through that Apex recording.

Ohana: Synaxis, for two pianos, percussion and orchestra

This work reminds me of Messiaen, with the difference that this is far, far more interesting.

The Kronos Quartet plays Alban Berg's Lyric Suite, with Dawn Upshaw singing the "lost" vocal line in the sixth movement.

FJ Haydn
Symphony 103 in E-flat Major 'Drumroll'
Symphony 104 in D Major 'London'
Austro-Hungarian HO - Ádám Fischer

I could maybe hum the entirety of Hob. 1:104, and yet I forget how forward looking and complex both of these works are. Maybe because I can't hum in parts.

A terrific set overall (which I have been working through since March). Only the recent 'Clock' Symphony left me wanting, at least per the performance. Otherwise, this was an interesting journey with Fischer & Co. I wonder how his new set with the Danish Chamber Orchestra on Naxos is going?

[Symphonic Addict]

What a fantastic disc, where each work has personality and charm. I've previously mentioned Reger like a point of comparison in style, but Busch has his own ideas and character, which exhibit a very mischievous and sometimes carefree quality to it I find so enthralling. This composer is turning out an important discovery to me in this year close to end.

Rawsthorne: Violin Concertos

In the vein of his Cello Concerto: earnest, uncompromising, featuring a dark lyricism, and like that concerto, they end in relative optimism, the only moments where one feels some warmth.

[Nostromo]

[Kalevala]

The Kronos Quartet plays Alban Berg's Lyric Suite, with Dawn Upshaw singing the "lost" vocal line in the sixth movement.

Oooh!  I haven't heard that work.  I've really enjoyed what I've heard of the Kronos Quartet and love Dawn Upshaw's voice.  Will have to look into it.

Oh my goodness, a string-orchestra version (arranged by conductor Gerard Schwarz) of Anton Webern's Langsamer Satz for String Quartet!

Just wonderful!

[Mapman]

Ives: Violin Sonata #5 "New England Holidays"
Daniel Stepner, John Kirkpatrick

According to the notes, this is an early version of the Holidays symphony. It's easier to follow the music in this reduced instrumentation.

[Symphonic Addict]

Oh my goodness, a string-orchestra version (arranged by conductor Gerard Schwarz) of Anton Webern's Langsamer Satz for String Quartet!

Just wonderful!

Yes, late-Romanticism at its best, so is Im Sommerwind, the only work of his I've heard live in concert. Needless to say, I was totally enraptured.
