If I would not have it already I would have bought it on your recommendation.
The day I'll surprise you with an unknown disc or composer will be celebrated with the finest bottle of whisky in my collection, dear Harry! :)

Vassily Kalinnikov

Symphonies 1 & 2
Royal Scottish NO
Neeme Jarvi

A marvelous disc. That a poor and hungry young man dying of consumption wrote such a beautiful and luminous music is nothing short of a miracle. Highly recommended.

Well, I must brew an extra cup of strong tea in Vasya's memory, Florestan!

Aulis Sallinen.

Aspects of the funeral march of Hintriki Pelto

Helsinki PO/Okko Kamu.

That is a amazing work!
I begin to fall deeply into 20th century music.
First Pettersson, and now Sallinen.
God help me!

Be sure you send me a sample or rather more my friend.
I bought that cd when it was released, and that is quite a while ago.

May I suggest a bit of Uuno Klami for balance?

Oke, what about, the Deserted Three Master/Sea picture/The Sprout of Spring/Forging of the Sampo from Kalevala Suite?

Heard this on my crack of dawn walk:

Camille Saint-Saens: La Jeunesse d'Hercule Op 50
  New Philharmonic Orchestra of Radio France / Marek Janowski
  Harmonia Mundi 905197

Perfect for the setting.  Good morning my friends.

Shame on those who say Zimerman is unemotional!

Zimerman has plenty of fiery emotion when appropriate, although part of the reason I love him is because he's ALWAYS in control . . . . . . he never sacrifices control/balance/authority for gratuitous emotional outbursts . . . . . . .

I'm listening to Ravel's orchestration of Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition

Gives me an idea for a Saint-Saëns coffee shop . . . . . . .

Is this what you were looking for? :)

No (Zimerman the pianist, not Zinman the conductor).

On a side note, the above pieces were played on the organ of St. Laurenskerk in Alkmaar in Holland which was built between 1638-45, and had some construction updates in 1723.  So, would these recordings be considered HIP? :)

HIP all the way, baby . . . . . .

D Minor, I've enjoyed chatting about Zimeran with you since my very first posts on the old GMG. :D Mysteriously, we seem to always agree. ;)
