Three cheers for Korngold!

Oh yeah, Scriabin LOVED Debussy and I'm sure you could find lots on it.

Could you supply some links on this?

Vaughan Williams - A Sea Symphony (Haitink/London Phil)

[Don]

On harpsichord, Masaaki Suzuki playing Bach's Italian Concerto, French Overture and Sonata in D minor - Excellent.

JAH-min!!

I missed that expression of yours!   

Yes, out of all the classical music of the sublime nature, the Mozart piano concerti are in my opinion, the sublimest!   0:)

The sublimest of the sublimest!

Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach.
Symphonies & Concertos.

Let me be forward in this, if you hate HIP, avoid it, but if you have a penchant for these kind of performances buy it.
Remarkable playing, in fact extra ordinarily. With a matching sound.
Shows you clearly why he was considered a better composer than his father, a reformer he was, and absolutely different from his fathers style, but not better, how could he, but in his own right, a  magister par exellance.

Über-Sublimity !

I believe the proper term is sublimiestest.

Thanks, Harry. I already love his cello concerto in A, and I just heard a concerto for flute in Dm just about an hour ago. I wasn't really into the transition-era stuff, but of late CPE's music has had its effect on me.

And I did not know that he was considered a greater composer than his father. Now, that would be an interesting debate to watch on the BBC.

Funny, I've done just the same over the last day or two!

That particular opinion comes from hundreds of years ago.  Anyone these days who would think the son superior to the father must have tin ears.

Orff: Carmina Burana (Blomstedt/San Francisco) - Among 2-3 versions of this piece, I seem to return to this one often, for the crisp singing of the SFS chorus, Lynne Dawson's beautiful soprano contribution, and the overall vivid sound quality.

Very good Renaissance choral music -- Fayrfax has a very particular, serene and beautiful style.
