What were you listening to? (CLOSED)

[Willoughby earl of Itacarius]

Wasn´t this a bonus disc, sent to you from JPC, at least I got it in that way?

Nope, I bought this one.

[Karl Henning]

A first listen:

Reger

Disc 2 - String Quartets now playing; well crafted, excellent performances, & outstanding sound - pleased w/ this purchase!

Disc 3 - Piano Trios - up next -

After which, I'll likely move on to some other items in that JPC package - Dave

Day after Christmas, my package from JPC arrived w/ a LOT of items - the largest one up first:

Rheinberger, Josef (1839-1901) - Chamber Music w/ Sonare Quartett et al - 6 CD box on sale there (my cost about $36!).  Just starting out w/ the first disc, i.e. String & Piano Quintets - this is going to be a wonderful set, especially for those who enjoy late Romantic chamber music - attached are some Fanfare reviews dating just after the release of these performances -

Listening to Symphony No. 1. Such an amazing work. I can't believe I gave Walton the cold shoulder for so long.

[Lisztianwagner]

Hi Ilaria, any comments on these two yet?

I'll post some comments after finishing the first disc. Anyway, I extremely like what I've listened to so far, especially some of Bartok's Bagatelles, Molto sostenuto, Rubato and Valse.

[The new erato]

Again.

Hope you find Koppell as great as I do.

[Mirror Image]

Entering into a Prokofiev phase...

Now:

[asin]B0009F66PE[/asin]

Listening to Sinfonia Concertante. Such a fine work.

[Christo]

Hope you find Koppell as great as I do.

Am very much impressed by the Third by now, a real war symphony. Find its sobriety more convincing then Shostakovich perhaps, though it is a bit reminiscent of Shosta's Tenth, that I BTW heard in a great performance in the Royal Concertgebouw in Amsterdam earlier this year.

What would you advise me after the Third?

[SonicMan46]

Some new arrivals from 'across the pond' (JPC):

Bach, Johann Christian - Keyboard Works, Op. 16 & 17 - performers on the covers; Op. 16 are alternating keyboard sonatas w/ violin or flute (period instruments) -
