Luigi Boccherini - Opera XII (1781). Sei sonate a tre per fortepiano con accompagnamento di violino e violoncello
Galimathias Musicum
Laura Alvini, fortepiano
Enrico Gatti, violino
Roberto Gini, violoncello
Recorded at Salone Bolognini, Convento di San Domenico, Bologna, Italia (06/27-30/1991)
Tactus

Beautiful disc of trio sonatas (although not exactly in the Baroque way): impassioned performances, crystal clear recorded sound and excellent liner notes by Laura Alvini.

Shostakovich's "Leningrad" Symphony. The Boléro-like iterations of the march-tune sort very well with rolling through Connecticut on a bus!

[George]

The Schumann CD.

Very nice!

[Coopmv]

Now playing some old favorites, which just arrived from an Amazon US MP vendor on Friday ...

[Scarpia]

Well....all this talk of Mendelssohn's SQs.....the power of suggestion!

CD 3

String Quartet No. 3 in D major, Op.44/1
Capriccio Op.81/3
String Quartet No. 6 in F minor, Op.80
Tema con variazioni (Andante), Op.81/1
Scherzo, Op.81/2

My only beef with the Emerson SQ recording of the Mendelssohn SQs are the SQ and track sequencings.  I'm almost positive they could have done a better job with the order of the quartets, and especially with the four separate movements of Op.81

Actually, after listening to the Emerson Quartet recording, I don't like it.  And going back, the Cherubini quartet recording is making a much bigger impression on me.  Oh well, doesn't seem consistent, but there it is.

I will be seeing Messiaen's Quartet for the End of Time live this coming weekend, so am going on a Messiaen binge. This weekend, listened to the Quartet (played by a Dutch group headed by Reinbert de Leeuw on Philips Eloquence - out of print). This evening will get into one of his gloomiest works, Vingt Regards, written when Paris was on the eve of liberation at the end of WW2:

Vingt Regards sur l'Enfant Jesus; 8 preludes (Michel Beroff, piano) EMI double
