Guess I don't necessarily "need" to wish you a good day, with such an excellent recording, but I wish it anyhoo!

Now I'm really interested!



Schumann Cello Concerto (Du Pre/Barenboim)

[orbital]

Prometheus is fierce especially near the climax, the concerto is milder. but the real highlight is the Fantasy for piano and orchestra, a piece Scriabin wrote, but could not finish with its orchestration. The piece is featured with Rozh's orchestration which pretty much works IMO.

Goedenmorgen allemaal.

Antonio Casimir Cartellieri.  Viennese Wind Divertimenti.   Consortium Classicum.

Harry - love my Cartellieri discs, but just have 4 at the moment - need to check if 'anything' new has emerged in the last year or so - for those who might be interested in this obscure 'windy' composer, check out this thread on the old forum -

Schumann Cello Concerto (Du Pre/Barenboim)

I can readily see going right from this, to the Louange à l'Éternité de Jésus from the Quatuor pour la fin du temps.

Sublimerer!

I'll definitely be investigating more of this composer's works.

The 1st and 4th sonatas from Scriabin, and the 1st sonata from Rachmaninov. His Scriabin is radically different from Sofronitsky or Richter, not preferable for me vis-a-vis, but a nice alternative always.

Saburo Moroi.

Sinfonietta in B flat, opus 24, "For Children". (1943)

Two Symphonic Movements, opus 22. (1942)

Symphony No. 3, opus 25. (1944)

National SO of Ireland/Takuo Yuasa.

He is considered by many to be the greatest Japanese Symphonist, and I think that is about right, if I listen through this disc.
Many sightings in the form of Hindemith the same motoric and dynamic development, and in the overall structure your hear composers like Bruckner, Beethoven, Franck, and last but not least Shostakovich. That said, The uniqueness of his voice is astounding, and the brilliance of his works blinding. Highly melodic, and creative in all aspects.
The performance leaves nothing to be desired, and the recording by the likes of Tim Handley is exemplary.

Debussy Cello Sonata op. # "I-can't-the-hell-remember" (Lux Nova)

[sidoze]

The 1st and 4th sonatas from Scriabin, and the 1st sonata from Rachmaninov. His Scriabin is radically different from Sofronitsky or Richter, not preferable for me vis-a-vis, but a nice alternative always.

His live sonata 4 in the 2CD APR set is superb. In fact that whole set is superb.
