Symphony No. 7


One of the performances on this set that I hadn't heard before. Solidly impressive, as expected of Furtwängler in this music.

It is strange how different obscure composers speak to different audience. Lourie, in that regard, is my man  
The music here ranges from Stravinskian 'A Little Chamber Music' to outright avant garde musical setting for strings and tenor and a concerto da camera in 6 parts that is both baroque and modern in equal parts.

Time to revist the Ives which was rudely interrupted earlier today.

Please let us know your opinion on Knipper's fourth !

Sure, no problem. I'll post it tomorrow in soviet/russian composers thread, bit tired to type now.

Nørgård - Symphonies 4 & 5 (Chandos)


Let's see if these are less impossible to get into than the 6th

I like the 4th very much but I don't know wtf he was doing in the 5th.

[Lethevich]

Now listening to random Rautavaara. Of the new stuff, there is nothing I would spend even small amounts of money on. The first two symphonies aren't connecting either, but the third is coming soon, which is apparently one of his best.

I like the 4th very much but I don't know wtf he was doing in the 5th.

I liked the 5th too, it doesn't make as much obvious sense, but I got swept up in the chaos. It seems quite distinct from the spare 6th.

This disc never fails to lighten my mood. A joyous experience from start to finish! I've only just noticed in the liner notes that Dietrich recorded Winterreise no less than seven times!  I'll have to check some of those other recordings out.

I take it the CD doesn't come with a lyric sheet.

I take it the CD doesn't come with a lyric sheet.

I hadn't read the original post, and your response made me curious: so I checked. Laughter ensued, I admit it.


Listening to nothing at all right now, and in general, I've been too (pre)occupied for extended listening, over the past few days. Just a Bruckner symphony here, a Mahler symphony there, some Brahms... Routine listening (though no less a pleasure).

If I hadn't posted about the Furtwängler Bruckner, earlier, I'd feel like a troll with all those OT comments!

That was my goal.

Ah!  A candidate for dorkiest album cover!  Looks like an Four Freshman homage.

[Brian]

Wonderful!

It does. Which says a lot about me...

I doubt this is what Schubert felt or intended it to be.

[Christo]

Wonderful!

                                It is.

[Subotnick]

I doubt this is what Schubert felt or intended it to be.

I just dream of the day that Leonard Cohen records the cycle...
