What were you listening to? (CLOSED)

[karlhenning]

Fantastic, underrated PC's.

Yes, I must agree, even from the little I have heard of the Hummel concerti.

[karlhenning]

Listening to:

Berlioz
Symphonie funèbre et triomphale
ii. Oraison funèbre
LSO
Colin Davis

[Harry]

                                  FH and G...................?

[karlhenning]

And, because once I've gotten Berlioz going, I never have the heart to stop the music! :-)

Berlioz
Symphonie funèbre et triomphale
iii. Apothéose
LSO & John Alldis Choir
Colin Davis

[karlhenning]

Gosh, it's been too, too long since last I listened to this!

Berlioz
Harold en Italie, Opus 16
ii. Marche des Pèlerins chantant la Prière du soir
Nobuko Imai
LSO
Colin Davis

Liszt ~ PC's Phillippe Entremont/Ormandy/PO  Essential Classics

I'm warming to the Liszt PC's, but I'm sure theres a better version out there?

I don't know the recording you're listening to, so I couldn't compare.

But I like Cziffra in these a lot.

Tried the Richter/Kondrashin, on Philips?


Coincidentally, I'm listening to the Kondrashin/Moscow Philharmonic Shostakovich 5th, on Melodiya: "the way it's meant to be played!"

[Lady Chatterley]

Oh, and Muriel, I've no doubt you're hot. Women who are a little older usually are. The young ones have got real firm bodies, the more mature ones have got real estate. I know which turns me on more.

What do you have your eye on Mark,the hobby farm on Saltspring Island or the castle in Spain.

The mushroom plantations of Kiev, Muriel

Bullseye!! 

[karlhenning]

Berlioz
Symphonie fantastique, Opus 14
BSO
Munch
(1962)

Paging DavidW . . . .

[Lady Chatterley]

The mushroom plantations of Kiev, Muriel 

Yes Karl,we have wild mushrooms here on Vancouver Island,but your Russians mushrooms will work just as well in Katarina's recipe.
Listening now to The Indian Queen.

[karlhenning]

Berlioz
Overture to Beatrice et Benedict
BSO
Charles Munch

This one's from 1949, and the brass are distressingly dodgy in ways that they are assuredly not in the rest of the box.  At casual glance, this seems to be the earliest recording in the box, so the dodgy brass are circumstantial evidence of the beneficial effect Munch must subsequently have had on the BSO

The mushroom plantations of Kiev, Muriel 

Are they going to war?

I just had a Koussevitsky-Sibelius early evening. Pohjola's Daughter, Tapiola and the Seventh Symphony. Not perhaps Sibelius for every day, but invigorating listening regardless.

[BachQ]

Bru8 (Chailly)
Bru9 (Boulez)
R. Strauss D Minor Burleske (Grimaud)

[George]

LvB

Rondos and Op.101

Much better performances here than the Op. 31/3.

Thanks I will investigate.

A composer completely new to me...a discovery at the library today:

[Bogey]

If you mean the piano version of "Pictures", hop over to the early pages of the Broadcast Corner thread - I think there's a link to Richter or someone like that playing the Pictures live.

Thanks to all those that chimed in on this.

Might this be the one Brian?
