Splendid, D Minor! 

Tis indeed, Karl.  Talk about an underperformed masterpiece!

As a followup, I'm listening to Prokofiev, Symphony no. 4 (Kuchar).

[Mark]

Kodaly's two String Quartets.

Good morning, Bogey. I'm listening to Riccardo Muti/Philadelphia Orchestra doing LvB 9th.

[Hector]

Gergiev with his 'new' orchestra was at the Proms last night.

All Russian programme (no!) starting with Romeo and Juliet. Loved her, hated him.

I gave up after that. I wasn't in the mood for Prokofiev.

But today, something I haven't played for a few months (because it was Gergiev on the radio in Tchaik's 4th and I wasn't in the mood for that either), Suppe's Requiem from Portugal, recorded live by those nice people at Virgin, under Michel Corboz.

I am never less than enthralled by this masterpiece written by the one Croatian composer of any note and, also, composer of the inimitable 'Dichter und Bauer' overture, among other gems!

A lot of Boismortier from Naxos, splendid!

Shostakovich's Leningrad

Powerful stuff indeed, impressed as always with the WDR SO

That cover is sort of "Bride of Bychkov," Tony (* shudder *)

Do Naxos ever get it wrong when recording Poulenc?

[Papy Oli]

Good evening all !



Dvorak - Symphony No.8 (Kubelik)

[Don]

Good evening all !



Dvorak - Symphony No.8 (Kubelik)

Looks like Kubelik is standing in the middle of the day.  Same with me - it's only 2 :15 PM.

Looks like Kubelik is standing in the middle of the day.  Same with me - it's only 2 :15 PM.

Good Day it is then, Don !
