What were you listening to? (CLOSED)

[mozartsneighbor]

Bach,  complete Partitas, Rosalyn Tureck

[Kullervo]

How was the response?  Was it what you anticipated?

I'm not sure I anticipated anything, but the response was good — especially for the Nørgård and Stravinsky pieces. It seemed a bit more difficult for him to hold his concentration during the Boulez and Nielsen. I sometimes forget that one of the most difficult things about cultivating a love of classical music is building up a certain level of patience that allows one to sit through upwards of an hour of music.

That's pretty cool. I don't think I have any friends who'd really want to sit down and listen to any classical.

But yeah, 4 different pieces might've been overload.

This "Spirit of Gambo", what does it refer to?

This "Spirit of Gambo", what does it refer to?

To a set of music in this compilation , named by Hume, Andrei.

[Que]

Symphony no. 6

EDIT:  On relistening after quite a while, I still feel this is a superb Pastorale.
On par with Erich Kleiber/RCO and Kletzki/CzPhO.

Thanks. Is it some story behind the music, or what?

[Harry]

Not really a story behind, no....
Hume saw this set of Gamba pieces as his personal testament.
He was a rather rude and mercenary guy, declared mad by his compeers, Hume, offended John Dowland, by declaring the Lute outdated!
