O, yes, Neumann and Dvorak, a match made in heaven John, as there ever was. The same goes for his Mahler though, and Martinu....

Thank you Harry, I wholeheartedly agree.

I considered this just on the strength of its reviews.  What's it like?

Gustav Mahler: Symphony No. 7, Songs of the Night;  Barenboim / Staatskapelle Berlin

I'm trying to develop some appreciation for Mahler, and I must say I'm enjoying this piece.

Rosetti, Antonio (c. 1750-1792) - a Bohemia composer who 'Italianized' his name - wrote some wonderful 'wind' music (many discs that I own) - but a great bargain 2-CD set of his Symphonies w/ Concerto Koln -  :D

This must be the original CD artwork.  I have the same Previn's recording but the cover is different (unless he recorded this work twice with EMI) ...

Liszt: piano concerto no 1. Nikita Magaloff, Serge Baudo leading the orchestra of the Tonhalle, Zürich. Flamboyant and hair-raisingly virtuosic. Magaloff extracts gigantic sonorities from his instrument without (I presume) destroying it. He gives full due to the witty and debonair as well as the devilish and garrulous aspects of Liszt's score. The middle movement is suitably dreamy, if not the last word in poetry and romantic flair. The sound is good, but there's a little 'fuzz' in the high frequencies at high volume. Not actual distortion, but not far.

Veit Bach-a baker who found his greatest pleasure in a little cittern which he took with him even into the mill and played while the grinding was going on. In this way he had a chance to have the rhythm drilled into him. And this was the beginning of a musical inclination in his descendants. JS Bach
