Single best Martin disc ever! ever ever ever

The definition of 'wan moonlight'

I agree that it is quite beautiful recording and the works are quite alluring.

Lots of great information about Martin on his own website:

This is good news. A fully unknown score by Martin : a ballet for small orchestra and 4 singers.

Discovered a new piece by Martin yesterday, concerto for clavier

[asin]B001IOMWGM[/asin]

A bit of a novelty hearing a harpsichord play modern music, but a piece that is wonderfully put together.  The other recordings on this release are also marvelous recorded performances.

I have a small cache of Martin recordings that I have not listened to in a while and I think it is time for a revisiting.

I'm slowly easing my way back into Martin's music. I'm listening to the Bamert recording of the Ballades right now which is right up my alley. I've heard this recording before but I really appreciate more this time around.

I'm also going to listen to this Decca 2-CD set:



I'm looking forward to giving the Violin Concerto another shot after disliking the MD&G performance.

Just bought that recording today. Look forward to hearing it.

This complete recording of Martin's sole opera Der Sturm has been sitting in my to-listen-to pile since April:



I'm going to try and devote some time to it. This set is 3-CDs so I'm going to have to space everything out so I can digest this operatic behemoth.

You might try the recent Baiba Skride recording.  I'm more positive about it now.

My preferred recording is expensive, but at least there are some used copies available now.

[The new erato]

I think his Symphony, recorded by Bamert on Chandos, is one of the great, unsung symphonies.

I found the symphony stunning, the sinfonie concertante, not so much, as I recall.

It's just the Petite Sinfonie Concertante without the flavor.

I own the Skride recording and will give it a spin sometime today. Yes, your preferred recording is quite expensive. I'll see if I can track down a copy less than $15. I highly doubt I'll run across a copy, but I'm optimistic something will turn out.

As I mentioned in the favorite VCs thread, that's a great set with a stunning performance of the VC which blows all others out of the water.

It's a powerful work, no doubt. It utilizes dodecaphonic elements, but you'd hardly notice as Martin creates such captivating harmonies and rhythms.

I'll have to re-listen to it at some juncture. I own all of Bamert's Martin recordings.

Have you heard Schneiderhan's recording with the composer conducting?
