Listening inspired by Luke's false relations lecture in the VW symphony thread: Walton's Viola Concerto:

the phone rings and somebody says,
"hey, they made a movie about
Mahler, you ought to go see it.
he was as f*cked-up as you are."

This is very very very very very good.
I love music. Sadly, I'm an audiophile too.

Erika Koth sings Operetta melodies.

Absolutely stunning in all repects.

Well, I will check tomorrow to see if I have a couple of tracks since I do have two operetta compilation CDs. If not, then luck dictates since it is unlikely to find anything here in China other than warhorse recordings. When I do go overseas the stores don't have much. My last two decent purchase were made over the internet to a former student overseas who gets them back to me when she returns to China to visit family. I can't do that too often as you can imagine. Direct Internet orders are too expensive for my budget and the shipping can be prohibitive.

Now listening (Interrupting Richter): Lehar: The Merry Widow ( final act only since I do intend to return to Richter soon )

AH!  :) I fully agree and hope others will pick up on Komen's LvB.
Did you get it as a download or on CD?

Q
Erm, download.* :) I'm looking forward to getting Komen's 21-26 as well; they are all on eMusic. :)

ROMA TRIUMPHANS - Polychoral Music in the Churches of the Vatican and Rome by Marenzio, Victoria, Palestrina and others

QuoteSoulignons d'abord la qualité de cet enregistrement dont l'objet est de magnifier les polyphonies romaines des XVIe et XVIIe siècles, et ce avec un magnifique choix de motets, signés Luca Marenzio, Tomàs Luis de Victoria, Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina, Orazio Benevoli, Giovanni Giorgi, Vincenzo Ugolini. Soutenues par un accompagnement discret (théorbe, violoncelle, orgue positif), la complémentarité et la profondeur de l'interaction entre les choeurs masculins et féminins s'y avèrent remarquables, la prise de son exemplaire permet d'en saisir toute la magnificence.

On y ressent un engagement profond des chanteurs et chanteuses desquels se dégagent aussi une spiritualité et une plénitude remarquables.

Very, very nice. This is the first recording of this Montreal-based ensemble dedicated to early music.

Listening to Harmonielehre, I'm a bit pissed about how whoever did the Matrix soundtrack obviously cribbed heavily from it.

Add to that Zimmer's rip-off of Holst's "Mars, The Bringer of War" (almost note for note, except in 3/4 time instead of 5/4) from the film Gladiator and a brief section later in the film which is lifted straight out of Gorecki's 3rd Symphony.

This is a real pet peeve of mine.   >:(

But women weren't allowed to sing in Roman churches back then, were they?

How would you characterise Komens LvB sonatas in comparison to Brautigams? I've sampled Brautigam reasonably extensively online, but  only heard a little of Komen.

You can find links to some samples of Komen's LvB that I have uploaded on the HIP Beethoven thread.

On the comparison Brautigam - Komen: I have heard little of Brautigam, but I'm currently into a A-B comparison of their opus 31 sonatas recordings. So, I'll get back to you on that. :)

QuoteNow playing:
Mozart
Concerto no 10 in E flat major for two keyboards, K365
Immerseel/Kaneko/Anima Eterna

(My cover looks different, but I think it is this CD):

I find that a great recording.
