What were you listening to? (CLOSED)

Schumann 2, Lenny/WP, courtesy of Jezetha--we'll see whether this sample is to my liking enough to convince me to purchase the set.

This, by the way, strikes me as an excellent and appropriate use of file-sharing.  Naxos's on-line streaming files from their catalog have led me to purchase far more of their discs than had I not heard them first, and I own a few dozen CDs I would not have bought without first hearing via torrent downloads.

Brian - Symphony No.1 (Boult, BBCSO, 1966) With obligatory fake cover.

The closer to the first two choral movements so far... wow haha

Hmm, all of the choral parts are surprisingly not heavy going.

Nice cover! And - keep at it, Lethe, and you will prevail!

And Olivier, how do you like him?

Harry,
Re Nielsen, that was more of a background maiden listening while getting ready for work this morning, but it will get a deserved attentive run later, amongst a few other boxsets received lately   

now, discovering "Swedish Rhapsody No.3 (Dalaraposdi)" by Alfven, off this boxset :



so far, so good...

Olivier, that work is one of Alfvén's pieces I  listen to the most. It's hauntingly beautiful.

Johan, I did remember the recommendation you gave of starting that boxset with the 1st & 3rd rhapsodies ..so i did

More Chadwick. See the Purchases thread.

19.36 + 9' for the 3rd Symphony's 2nd mvt = 19.45...timely for kick-off ..

come on Russia ! ... no, i am not French and bitter...

[Wanderer]

Time for the other boxset. Chopin's op.28 Préludes at the moment.

Perhaps.  But in that case, one would expect them to look rather more like:
         

I almost missed this! 
It would make a nice cover for a number of Requiem recordings.

You like?

Most certainly! 
He's one of my favourite contemporary pianists. His interpretations are always insightful.
Moved on to his Beethoven: Rondos op.51 & 129 and Sonatas op.7 & 101.

I took a walk and listened to Chadwick's 2nd symphony. I'm a new fan--if it has fans.

He also wrote a number of very worthwhile symphonic poems and overtures, I like his style very much. I'm not familiar with his symphonies, though.

Yes, I bought some of those as well.

Haydn, Joseph - Baryton Trios - tonight's dinner music!  I've had this disc for years now (may be OOP?) - one of 5 Haydn baryton CDs that I own, and still one of my favorites; the Hungaroton engineers just did a great job of recording this group!

Is that a two disc set Dave that covers his complete output?

Hello Bill - good evening & glad to see you posting more again! 

Concerning the Haydn Baryton Trios - not even close - the pic shown in my post is just one disc; Haydn wrote over 120 'Baryton Trios' - his employer, Prince Nick Esterhazy was an amateur baryton player and demanded much, hence the VAST output from a dependable Joe! 

In addition, Haydn wrote other compositions for the baryton, so his 'complete output' in this instrumental genre would require a LARGE set of discs - in addition to the CD shown, I have two discs w/ John Hsu (one below on the ASV label); I also have the 2-CD set below (right) of Baryton Octets w/ the Ricercar Consort, basically Divertimenti which include the baryton (not sure w/o doing some comparsions whether these are transcriptions from other Haydn works?) - Dave
