What are you listening 2 now?

[Mandryka]

Not as far as I know, except Pandolfo's own recording of suite no. 5 some years before the complete set.

After Pandolfo I only know a few recordings of the suites on gamba:

Sadao Udagawa suites 1, 3, 2 & 5 (5 in the shape of Bach's lute arrangement) Tedious listening because of absurdly slow tempi.

Myriam Rignol suite 1 - 6

Ronan Kernoa plays some of the suites on diverse gamba's.

I recall a single individual rather new recording of maybe suite no 1 by some female gambist. I have it somewhere digitally and won't be able to trace it quickly.

       

No, I think it was someone else and a complete suite.

Edit:
@Mandryka & @Selig
Even if I thought it was a female gambist, it must have been a male gambist I recalled.
These two I found in my download batch:

I recall both of them as being rather good.

Only three movements of suite no.1.

Do you mean Suite 4 here?

I supposed this was taken from his complete set, and this is why I ignored it.

The older recording I think of (of suite no.5) was a filler for Pandolfo's first recording of the harpsichord/viola da gamba sonatas (with Alessandrini on HM France released 1995, recorded 1993).

The recording you refer to of suite no. 4 was released by Glossa 1998. The complete set was released by Glossa 2001. The producer of suite no. 4 and the complete set is identical.

Then I'm going to purchase it.

It's may not be your sort of music, but I've been really enjoying this today, since we started this discussion. I guess I must be ready for it, the time is right for Ferrabosco!

Steve Reich: Music for 18 Musicians (Bang on a Can All-Stars & Friends, recorded in 2024 at the Long Play Festival in Brooklyn). As the years go by, this might be my favorite Reich of all. Lots of good ones around, hadn't heard this version until today.

[Spotted Horses]

Finally, a selection from this release which fully convinces me, and which I would compare with my favorite works of Bacewicz. The Symphony No 1. Written during the war period, it is neoclassical in its scale, but expressionistic in its style. At times I found it to evoke Sibelius, Bartok.

In my opinion, Apparition de l'église éternelle is the GOAT organ work.

I'll be honest, up to this point, this has been the only music I've listened to today, lol. It is so good, definitely fighting for my favorite classical piece of all time, but, now, time for a shift.

For the 15th year in a row, the first thing I listened to to mark the new year was Vaughan Williams' Tallis Fantasia. It has such a feeling of newness and fresh beginnings to me, like new fallen snow. A blank slate onto which I can project my hopes and fears for the year.

Nice ritual! TD: H/T @Mandryka  and @Papy Oli ...
Quatuor Diotima playing Boulez' Livre pour quatuor. Oh, I like this a very great deal. Oli, I suspect this will not be super helpful but ... firstly, one needs practically to disregard the entire string quartet tradition. Secondly, while my expectation is that the composer has micromanaged the musical materials to a degree frankly beyond my own interest, the effect is a wild freedom. I love it.

That is quite a lovely tradition! Even if the Previn recording didn't satisfy, there's still...the piece itself.

I'm not sure what I would choose for a similar ritual, but thanks for planting the idea.
