What were you listening to? (CLOSED)

[Philoctetes]

A bit more, Philo.  Is the EMI flag, or the performer?

Sorry. It's not EMI. It's the performer. I really enjoy Walter, but just not in Ravel. I think there are better pianists to go with.

Ah.  I have a bit of WG doing Ravel, but nothing complete and the recordings are much earlier.  I enjoy them a lot, but the disc I am questioning is later efforts and may not hold up.

I mean if you already enjoy him. I'd say go for it.

[Todd]

Hey, Todd, how is this effort?

Variable.  Some works are very good, others ot so much.  If you don't already have it, I'd say go with Abbey Simon over Gieseking.  Throw in Casadesus and Bavouzet, and you've got the best complete sets on the market.

[The new erato]

Last night a disc of Elisabeth Søderstrøm singing Russian songs about children (Mussorgsky, Prokofiev, Gretchanikov); and then this:



A wonderful series (note to self; need to get vol 7); Schumann songs contains lots of stuff at a high standard, also outside the favorite suspects.

[Henk]

Mahler - S. 6



It's beautiful music, but listening to it just isn't satisfactory to me.

Handel - Tamerlano, Act I

CONRAD PAUMANN and the 15th century German keyboard school    / Tasto Solo

A recent and interesting CD with a panorama of the the German music for keyboard in the 15th century. The ensemble Tasto Solo uses a gothic organ, a gothic harp, organetto and clavisimbalum (?).

[Opus106]

Mahler - S. 6

It's beautiful music, but listening to it just isn't satisfactory to me.

Want to be struck down by a mallet, then?
