Glazunov Violin Concerto

Love this piece! I'm certainly having a very Glazunov-y evening!

[madaboutmahler]

Continuing the Glazunov this evening!


Symphony no.5

Brilliant piece which I love very much, and an amazing performance from Rozhdestvensky and the USSR Ministry of Culture Symphony Orchestra too. The Soviet brass! :O

Will probably listen to no.4 later too which is another of my favourites.

[springrite]

So it is Glazunov Day, is it? I can't keep up with this fast shifting changes of fashion. Just did my Tippett thing and now...

OK:
Glazunov Piano Music (I will pick one of the four piano CDs I have from HYPERION)

[Opus106]

Yes, he's not ready to stop at anything. But at least when he lets it rip (when he shouldn't have, IMHO), one expects him (the recording) to falter somewhere with a wrong note, waiting for him to trip, so to speak, but it's vaguely satisfying just to hear him dispatch all notes seemingly effortlessly. 0:)

Glazunov Violin Concerto

Love this piece!

He certainly is!

So... you like Rattle's Mahler?
But what will your parents think if you start hammering the table...

Yes, quite a lot. I do own his box set, in fact, I think it was the very first complete Mahler cycle I ever purchased! Many great performances in it, and nearly always maintaining a very high standard of beauty in the performances. Not my favourite cycle, but still very good.

haha Being a percussionist, I have already used various pieces of furniture to act as a Mahler hammer.

I played the opening movement with the Veni Creator Spiritus to my Latin I classes (Seventh Graders) today, as part of the celebration of Easter in 10 days.

The reaction was not bad: the one class applauded politely at the end, and a few wanted to know more about Mahler after class was over.

Now alone in my classroom, I am listening to the second movement!   0:)

Now:

[asin]B0006L5SDM[/asin]

Listening to Symphony No. 2. Oh, I really like this a lot. I'm used to a fast tempo in the first movement but I like that Tippett slowed this down so we can hear all of the counterpoint that occurs in this movement. Fantastic.
