Ah interesting...no rush, but at some point would love to know more details about that one!

Bruce, A short CD called 'Gaudete': Arranged by Karl Jenkins. It is on Signam Classics. It includes two versions of Gaudete, Tavener The Lamb, Faure Apres un Reve...the cursed Pachelbel and another Tavener piece, the Reich is the final item. The chorus is the always excellent Tenebrae.

Oh great, thanks!  Good program (even with the "cursed Pachelbel"...  )

Something by a German composer, which on this hearing seems to justify a certain remark by an Italian composer.

That is all.

[DavidRoss]

Which lovely moments, I wonder?

Now playing:  something on the non-classical side.

The 6 Schübler & 18 Leipzig Chorales (BWV 645-668)
This excellent set has the complete Schübler & Leipzig chorale preludes,
ingeniously it includes sprucely sung versions of the chorales themselves,
mostly harmonized by Bach himself. Ton Koopman, Amsterdam Baroque Choir.
[total time: 142 minutes & 30 seconds]

A very nice set indeed! Excellent choral contributions.

Let me guess: `I could never quite grasp the fact that it was created by a mere human being' (Giuseppe Fortunino Francesco V. on W.'s Tristan und Isolde)?

Such nice music. 
And I'm willing to take the risk of being labelled a HIP-fundamentalist  ....by stating that in my experience these pieces work only on period instruments.

It's high time that we have a HIP fundamentalist to arbitrate at this forum

Zimmermann: Die Soldaten (Bernard Kontarsky/Staatstheater Stuttgart) - Haven't listened to this in a long time (the recording is from 1991), and decided to get reacquainted before seeing the live performance next week.  Some powerful writing, and the orchestra sounds huge, with lots of extra percussion.

--Bruce

Are you serious? I would absolutely love to see that -- in fact I'd like to see that more than any other work (not including a Kemal Gekic recital). You pay more attention to this sort of thing than I do so if you ever catch word of it being performed in London please let me know. Hope you enjoy it. Who's putting it on?

Having a historical piano Sunday morning. Started out with VAI's volume 2 of the Complete Josef Hofmann edition -- this is his Golden Jubilee concert from 1937, and it includes Rubinstein's 4th PC and lots of Chopin. Some very astounding, and to modern ears, unusual playing.

Now listening to Rosalyn Tureck play Bach partitas.

Mozart Three Piano Quartets

I thought he wrote only two.

[johnQpublic]

Corselli - Overture to "Oratorio di Santa Clotilde" (Moreno/Glossa)
Albinoni - Concerto in F for 2 Oboes & Strings (Scimone/Erato)
Handel - Utrechter Te Deum (Harnoncourt/Teldec)
Scarlatti - 3 Sonati (Kipnis/EMI)
Vivaldi - Bassoon Concerto in B-flat (Thunemann/Philips)

I believe K452c is only 1 movement.  From the web:

Middle Mvmt to a Kybd Concerto
Begun probably in Apr 1784 in Vienna; probably beginning of slow mvmt to KV 453, or, a lesser possibility, to KV 459.

Morning, Johan and others!

Afternoon, Johan and others! 

Lennox Berkeley's finest symphony, his First, a longtime favourite:

Thanks for the info, Bogey!


Now listening: Hits, moans, cheer, and commeters' blab from the Wimbledon finals. 

But I'm going to listen a CD which I haven't played for a long time.

Mozart

Alfred Brendel and the Alban Berg Quartet
