What were you listening to? (CLOSED)

Dmitri Dmitriyevich
Symphony No. 6 in B Minor, Opus 54
Prague Symphony
Maksim Dmitriyevich

[Harry]

Padre Antonio Soler.
Six Concertos for two Organs.
Maurizio Croci & Pieter van Dijk, Organs.

I think in all honesty, that Brilliant delivered again. This new recording issued some months ago, is of a exemplary quality. Soler is a awesome composer, as the complete Harpsichord works clearly show, but by Jove, these Organs pieces are pure dynamite in terms of musical enjoyment. Well performed too, and excellently recorded in 2007. There is no reason to hesitate in purchasing it, unless your budget for this year is well spend.

I believe the only Soler I have are piano recordings from Michelangeli. Great composer from what I hear there.

Now, while I watch England vs. Croatia on streaming (Theo Walcott goal!!!), listening to Godard Cello Sonata (not exactly football music).

[Harry]

Quite a discovery.........

ATTERBERG | Symphony No 3 "West Coast Pictures"
NDR Radio Philharmonic, Ari Rasilainen

One of my most incredible discoveries of the year is just as glorious as I remembered!

A recent ... *ahem* ... 'acquisition', shall we say?

Like many Melodiya recordings (particularly Polyansky's vocal ones), it's a mix of tremendous music making and dodgy sonics. Wonderful stuff on the whole, though.

My favourite Polish composer, courtesy of one his generous countrymen:

My 2008 CD budget is out-the-window.  Any more CD purchases might have to wait until 2009 now   

  I don't think I like the sound of that ChamberNut  .  Distressing  .........most distressing  .

My own boo-boo chain has been yanked . I'm caught up trying to build up my R. Strauss, Wagner (of course), and Bruckner collections, on top of which are my old Judas Priest , Black Sabbath, Mercyful Fate, and Michael Schenker Group cds which need re-fortifying.


Now I've got some problems!



Got Karl Henning's William Cartos Williams piece playing.

Arnold Bax, Symphony No. 1 (BBC Philharmonic/Chandos)

[Novi]

From the House of the Dead - I liked this so much I listened to it twice in two days .

[Lilas Pastia]

I've posted it in Henning's Headquarters yesterday, but I want to reiterate my strong endorsement of Karl Henning's Passion According to St-John. Not because I heard it again, but because it's been in my head since the last couple of days. It's the kind of music that speaks an idiom everyone can understand, but elicits spiritual emotions (through a bi-millenary tradition) that are often repressed (in this day and age).

[ChamberNut]

you have more exploring to do in that Tchaikovsky/Muti box 

You said it Brian!    That, along with the Strauss/Kempe set, and Dvorak quartets/Panocha, and I've got many hours ahead of me.  And Henning too!   0:)

[SonicMan46]

Farrenc, Louise (1804-1875) - French pianist, composer, & only female professor @ the Paris Conservatoire in the 19th century - I've become fascinated w/ this woman in the last few months - she does have her own thread (which I just posted) - now have 3 discs of her compositions, the last two are orchestral works which are wonderful; on the CPO label - would like to acquire more chamber works and solo piano compositions - 

 

[eyeresist]

Vaughan Williams
Orchestral Works (2 CDs)
ASMF/Marriner
Australian Decca Eloquence

(Wasps Otr, Tallis Fantasia, Fen Country, Vars for Orch, Norfolk Rhapsody 1, Dives & Lazarus, Harmonica Romance; Lark Ascending, Greensleeves, Concerto Grosso, English Folk Song Suite (arr. Bush; a weak piece); + British Folk Song Arrangements (Pearson; Hazell)

[Brian]

SonicMan, Farrenc's First Symphony is one of my very favorites. What an incredible piece!

Awesome, those three boxes are really amazing! Should keep you busy for months
