What were you listening to? (CLOSED)

As often as not, that raucous d minor symphony is my very favorite Prokofiev piece.

D minor...yum yum

One day I hope Grainger's music will make sense to me too :\

 
I've been sheltered from much of it. His piece for wind band, A Lincolnshire Posy, is a good example of its genre, though . . . fits quite well with the two Holst suites and the Vaughan Williams Folk Song Suite.  I first heard the Irish Tune from County Derry, for that matter, when playing it in symphonic band transcription . . . an idiom which reinforces its warm sentimentality.

I love that little piece!
Do you know 'The Warriors' and 'In a Nutshell - Suite', Harry? These are my two favourite Grainger pieces. Very eccentric pieces, but very enjoyable also!

An OK recording, better sound than expected.

Am checking out a lot of my LP record covers & record cover artists - many of them traceable on the web - due to an oncoming museum exhibition on that subject here. Obviously this one is a paraphrase on front pages of printed musical scores from around 1900.

Highly enjoyable recording, and might be my favorite Lang piece. I've heard So Percussion perform it live several times, and especially like the final section, played on teacups and flower pots.

That's awesome! Agreed, the final movement is great. Would have love to seen it live.
Thanks for sharing, Bruce.

Not my teacups!!!

Just back from listening to Alkan's Grande Sonata 'Les Quatre Ages' for the first time.

No wonder my dad is a massive Alkan fan! This piece is absolutely amazing!

I know and love the Suite, but the Warriors is unknown to me, see I am a good boy after all
