What were you listening to? (CLOSED)

[FideLeo]

An ingratiatingly beautiful set to hear - a superb presentation of these concertos as refined entertainment.  For strict, disciplined playing one may do better with the likes of Goebel/MAK though. 

[J.Z. Herrenberg]

Delius, Violin Concerto (Fenby, Ralph Holmes/RPO)

[The new erato]

Haven't listened to these sonatas for a long time. Seems like fine performances to me, though I don't know many other versions (I have Lazar Berman on a Melodia LP but that one I haven't listened to for even longer!) .

[Harry]

Disc 3: Six Sonatas for Violin and Cello or Harpsichord opus 6; Enrico Casazza (violin) & Roberto Loreggian (harpsichord/organ).

These are recordings licensed from Italian Tactus.
Now I'm hoping that Brilliant will reissue Corelli's trio sonatas by Enrico Gatti & the Aurora Ensemble as well!

Q

As I am told they are in the pipeline Que.

I am not listening to much as a result of recent traumatic events.   

BUT...

Listening to this....

[Lethevich]

I must admit, I am finding No.13 a little annoying in my initial listen. It is mostly to do with the theme which repeats throughout as well as a less diverse and expansive atmosphere. It has a statis quality which coupled to some less inspired music makes this a very long 30 minutes. It is however light of heart and tread, so there could be more to enjoy if I come back to it with a different frame of mind.

BUT...

Listening to this....

Very fine disc!

My 'nodding-off' music the past couple of nights has been:

Feldman
Four Instruments
For Frank O'Hara

For about a week before, it had been Hovhaness's Mysterious Mountain . . . and at last, it dawned on me that I had been listening to a piece composed by someone born a short drive from where I live, and whose lifespan overlaps mine.

All right, so, not exactly cosmic, but . . . .

Q

I have a good number of CD titles by Tactus - mainly on works by little known Italian Baroque composers.  Just wonder why much cheaper Brilliant Classics can price the re-issues since Tactus' CD's are already reasonably priced ...

[SonicMan46]

A little Polish music this Sunday morn - both recent acquisitions and re-listenings - recommended in Gurn's classical thread:

Lessel, Franciszek (1780-1838) - Chamber Works & Wind Sextets; the latter w/ Klocker & Consortium Classicum - 

 

[Sergeant Rock]

Symphonies 3 and 8 from Brüggen's cycle:




Sarge

When was this recording made?

[hautbois]

Please tell me your opinions on this. Have been eyeing it but can't be convinced to do so...already having 3 very solid 5ths in my collection...

[Que]

Very much impressed by both the music and the performances!

[The new erato]

The Faust Cantata from this:



An amazing work!

[Coopmv]

Now playing this SACD.  This was included in a sweep of all SACD's on the Alia Vox label that were on sale at MDT.  I pretty much ordered every SACD.

I am not listening to much as a result of recent traumatic events.   

I was just thought about you this morning, John. I'm sorry things have been rough. It's good to see you here though.
Shoot me a PM anytime.

Brahms Clarinet Quintet, by members of the Berlin Phil, on Philips Brahms' Complete Quintets. Such a nice recording, on their DUO series.

[haydnguy]

This is the one I'm going to keep coming back to in the coming week. I LOVE IT so far!!

[Christo]

Eduard Tubin, Symphony No. 5 (1946) by the Cincinnati SO under Paavo Järvi.

I'm playing this `new' recording (am acquainted with the two other ones, by Järvi père and Arvo Volmer) in a desperate attempt to finally come to terms with what is, for me, Tubin's less favourite symphony.   Though it appears to be the most popular of the cycle for many others, and especially with his Estonian audience, from the 1950s on.  

Well, at least the performance is quite ok.

Listened to the first disc of this:



but found it a little too soprano heavy as I have a bit of a headache from running in the sun today, so switched to this instead:
