What were you listening to? (CLOSED)

that's what i said

Our posts crossed. That's what you said after, to correct your howler of a first guess 

[Franco]

Orpheus for that same set.

Orpheus for that same set.

Very nice (and, BTW, a great improvement on the Agon in that box, as interesting a document as it is).

[Franco]

that set brings back memories, love it - great recorded sound, used to listen to it endlessly and marvel how one person could dream up all that...i actually got familiar & fell in love with these later stravinsky ballets before the earlier ones. in particular the 3 greek ones. (apollo, agon, orpheus)

Yes, those are my favorites too, and I just voted for Agon on your thread asking for such.

After organizing my iTunes playlist of Stravinsky recordings I am listening to them all again.

He is, for my money, among the greatest composers of certainly the 20th C., and arguably all others as well.

Who do you like?  I was going to get the Robert Craft on Naxos.

Nah, different fellow, he spells it differently; with a 'K".

[karlhenning]

man you're like a hawk, i edited it my initial brain fart seconds after realizing i was pulling the wrong name, congratulations.

You get points for self-emendation, of course.

You know, I haven't heard that one (though I've heard ever so many of his recordings).  I expect it to be good, though, to be sure.

Am I to believe that you did in fact load the Дмитриевич Симфония onto your iPod, or what it is you use?

Haven't loaded the symphonies onto the Sanza Fuze yet;  listening at the work computer on headphones.

medtner - tozer

Excellent! Which works? Among others, he has recorded an awesome rendition of the wartime op.30 sonata as well as a very colourful and seductive Second Improvisation.

It's a four-disc set.

[Henk]

Second listening. First impression: great disc, never heard something like it before.

[bhodges]

That looks very interesting, Henk.  Don't know Manoury's music at all, but friends at University of California, San Diego (where he teaches) have mentioned him favorably.
