What were you listening to? (CLOSED)

[The new erato]

Disc 2 from this set. Fine recordings.

[Coopmv]

Rachmaninov
Cello Sonata
Shafran and ?
Brilliant Classics

Liner notes are at home and the CD doesn't tell me much. 

It should be a law all CD manufacturers should have to print all the info (including which tracks correspond with which works) on the CD face. 

Whatever happened to the plan to embed liner notes on the CD itself so you can play the CD while reading the liner notes on your computer?

Now playing CD1 from this set for the first time ...

[The new erato]

Faures wonderfully beautiful and intimate string quartet.

[Henk]

[malc19ken]

Well you did ask.

Not sure, I hadn't heard about that.

Now playing CD2 from this set ...

[Drasko]

Arvo Part - Variations for the healing of Arinushka
David Arden, piano (Koch)

[Solitary Wanderer]

Loving this at the moment. Great portraits of the three Faust principles.

Maybe this is Liszt's greatest orchestral work?

[Keemun]

Bach: Cello Suites (Fournier) 0:)

[Häuschen]

Listened to her disc of Wagner transcriptions earlier.

Hi Henk - I have that recording, and really enjoy his playing & interpretation; of course, brings up the quandary of Scarlatti on harpsichord vs. piano (hey, how about fortepiano, too?) - I have selections of both (and after years of listening to various interpretations on different instruments, still cannot decide) - my most recent purchase inserted above, i.e. Pieter-Jan Belder, Vol. 1 of his complete set - now I really enjoy these works, but just cannot see myself owning all 555 compositions -    I'm up to about a dozen CDs of a 'mixed' instrumental collection, might be enough, but could be persuaded to add a few more -     Dave

Faure - String Quartet in E minor, Op.121

Ad Libitum Quartet
Naxos

[SonicMan46]

Boccherini, Luigi (1743-1805) - Keyboard Sonatas w/ String(s) - 2CD bargain set on Brilliant of 6 sonatas for fortepiano & violin & 6 sonatas for fortepiano & violin/cello w/ Franco Angeleri & Laura Alvini on fortepianos, Enrico Gatti on violin, & Roberto Gini on cello.

Just sparkling performances - the fortepiano is recorded well & Luigi's string writing as delightful as ever - this is not the usual Boccherini repertoire, i.e. keyboard, so if you like this composer, the era, and the earlier keyboard instruments, make a purchase - recommended to those w/ the proclivities described!

Thanks Dave for posting, anything with violinist Enrico Gatti sounds very much OK to me!

[Coopmv]

Not sure, I hadn't heard about that.

I have about 2 dozens of classical concerts on DVD's and they all have tracks that provide the equivalent of liner notes.  I thought there was a plan to expand that to CD's as well based on what I read a number of years ago ...

Bach: Cello Suites (Fournier) 0:)

Great set with some virtuoso cello playing.  Is that the set on DG Archive?  I just bought that set a few weeks ago ...

Now playing CD7 from this set ...
