Prague Symphony

Just to compare with the close of the Kirill Petrovich

If you are comparing final movements, you may wish to indulge in Yakov Kreizberg's recording on PentaTone - the absurd jumps from one tempo to another in the coda are laugh-out-loud funny (and the brass' triumphant declaration of the main theme sure sounds like bitter laughter, too)...

Although The Hebrides is one of my favourite works composed by Felix, listening to it for the first time as an HIP I find it rushed.

Lou Harrison Piano Concerto
Bliss Color Symphony

I'm feeling the need to listen to a Handel oratorio or two, as I was digging through the Big Box o' Scores looking for my Brahms Requiem score (which I didn't find) and came across Samson, Joshua, and a number of other Handel works I haven't heard for a while.

A very beautiful cover, very!

What he said!

[Lethevich]

Do you have Collard's Ravel solo works, Karl?   He is also outstanding when it comes to Fauré.  Please do your homework and post your thoughts on the Saint-Saëns.

[Bogey]

Do you have Collard's Ravel solo works, Karl?

No, not yet (but I ought), Bill.  On our Luke's excellent recommendation, I've got the two-fer of Collard & Béroff playing the Ravel & Debussy four-hands catalogue, though.

Inspired by the Schubert SQ thread:



D 887.

He is also outstanding when it comes to Fauré.
