The site is working smoothly. What a difference with respect to yesterday.

[Harry]

Nothing creative in copying someone else's words. You really want to keep this up?

What a irritating nuisance you are. But then you always where, as long as I can remember.

Gentlemen, please send the next round of love letters in private, thank you.

Musica Callada from this


CD 8 of this set

[Bachthoven]

Very enjoyable, although I wouldn't obect if it had been played on the Notre Dame organ! 

[VonStupp]

Eugene Zádor
Hungarian Scherzo
Suite for Horn, Strings, and Percussion
Lullaby for Horn
Chamber Concerto
Suite for Eight Celli
Celebration Music

Zoltán Szőke, horn
Imre Kováts, horn
Bálint Képíró, horn
Katalin Sarkady, piano
Budapest SO MÁV - Mariusz Smolij


Maybe my favorite of the series thus far (this is Vol. 7), although my family and I do have a fondness for French Horn, of which there are plenty to hear on this particular recording.

The Chamber Concerto is almost Gershwin-esque, plus an ensemble of eight cellos is not something one hears everyday.

Listening to what Spotify is letting me listen to from this (I'm not paying for Premium).

I concur in your verdict.

Reger: Clarinet Sonata in F-sharp minor

[Symphonic Addict]

Ginastera: Cello Sonata

One of my very favorite sonatas for both instruments. Mind-blowing music.

[VonStupp]

William Walton
Belshazzar's Feast
Coronation Te Deum
Gloria

Gwynne Howell, bass (Belshazzar)
Ameral Gunson, contralto
Neil Mackie, tenor
Stephen Roberts, baritone

The Bach Choir
Philharmonia - Sir David Willcocks


If it can be believed, I think the last time I heard Belshazzar's Feast was when the Shaw recording came out on Telarc. It's not for a lack of enjoying the music either, for the work is an utterly enjoyable bit of oratorio spectacle in Walton's singular musical style.

I do not know the Gloria at all, another choral/orchestral piece which pairs nicely with the the rest of the program.

Reger: Clarinet Sonata in F-sharp minor

That should be a Pettersson cover.

That should be a Pettersson cover.

Except for the smiles.

Martinu: Flute Sonata

My goodness, this is the very definition of delight. A piece that insists to be enjoyed to the maximum. It was a very good performance, but the piano sounded a bit resounding.

Haydn: Symphony #12 in E

Martinu: Flute Sonata

My goodness, this is the very definition of delight. A piece that insists to be enjoyed to the maximum. It was a very good performance, but the piano sounded a bit resounding.

I'm not sure I've ever heard a sextet with two bassoons!

I'm not sure I've ever heard a sextet with two bassoons!

You being a Martinu fan shouldn't resist the temptation then!

According to my notes, I didn't like it as much as the other works on the CD, but your mileage may vary.

[Symphonic Addict]

Bantock: Viola Sonata in F major 'Colleen'

If you may not like the first two movements, don't give up and wait for the third one. It's completely irresistible and imbued with folk melodies. I like the whole sonata, but it's that third movement that saves the work, definitely.

Devised myself a bird program:

Yoshimatsu: The birds are silent..., Op. 72
Rautavaara: Cantius Articus
