Johann Sebastian Bach - 6 Suites per violoncello solo senza basso
Pieter Wispelwey
Baroque cello (Barak Norman, 1710)
violoncello piccolo (anon., 18th century)
CHANNEL CLASSICS CCS 12298
2 discs [61:35 + 78:28]

This is the second recording of these works by Wispelwey. Curious performance, rather over-romantized ("mad" in the opinion of some people), particularly when is compared with his first recording.

That's my favorite set of the cello suites!

I own this, and I am not that keen on it, - and I have never considered the purchase of his first recording.
Do you think / know  that his first recording is that much preferable to the second?

Trio Wanderer, is delivering us a wonderful rendition of these works, especially the Emmanuel, a composer I never heard off. The third movement of Chausson's opus 3, is almost a slice from heavenly food, never heard this movement so beautiful, absolute stunning. The second movement of Emmanuel, is in the same league as Chausson's, so well played so well composed.
Well recorded.
For me this is a small miracle.

Another one of the batch that came in today, and to my ears another winner. You don't hear this too often, and that is a shame, for its on a very high level.
Barbara Kusa & Flora Grill are very fine voices, as is the rest of the singers. Good recording too.
Man was I lucky this time in my purchases, no contenders for my Refusal bin.

It's so nice to listen to music together, but mostly to listen to your professional comments.

That is a excellent ensemble, I have a few recordings with them, and I enjoyed them immensely.

Considering your taste (if I have understood something about it  ), I would say yes, Premont.

IMO, that first attempt of Wispelwey is rhetorically much more baroque in style than his second one.

Thanks, Antoine, ordered now.

Mario Davidovsky: String Quartet No. 4 (1980)

A work included in a wonderful double set of LPs from 1982 recorded as part of the Smithsonian Collection by The Twentieth Century Consort (vols I & II, 4 LPs), led by Christopher Kendall.  Joseph Schwantner, George Rochberg, George Crumb all have works as well as lesser known (at least to me) composers such as Stephen Albert, Maurice Wright and Gerald Chenoweth.

George, good evening.  Is this Rosalyn Tureck's CD any good?

[SonicMan46]

Franck, Eduard (1817-1893) - Piano Trios on the Audite label, which has been on a mission to record the works of the father-son team of Eduard & Richard; this CD bumps me up to about a half dozen discs of this duo - worth exploring!  If interested, please check out my thread on the Francks HERE, very little activity which is underserved - the chamber music is wonderful - REALLY! 

Fesca, Friedrich Ernst (1789-1826) - Flute Quartets w/ the Linos Ensemble on CPO; only my second disc of this composer, who died too young from TB; these chamber works are just delightful - the flute is 'modern' and I'd love to hear these on a wooden flute of the time, but if you like this instrument, then a strong consideration -
