Schoenberg: Gurrelieder (Abbado/VPO) - Not sure I like some of Abbado's soloists quite as well as on some other recordings, but instrumentally this is wonderful.

Taneyev's Piano Concerto, with Tchislenko, Anisimov and Karpinsk SO. So gorgeously and Russianly romantic... Exquisite!

What label?  I'm only aware of the recent Toccata Classics recording.

I wouldn't know. It's a gift from somebody via ftp. :)

Claude Vivier: Lonely Child (1980) for soprano and orchestra (De Leeuw/Narucki/Schoenberg and ASKO Ensembles) - Haunting work with particularly expressive writing for brass and percussion, and gorgeous work by Susan Narucki, one of the best singers around committed to contemporary music.  Vivier died far too young (1948-83).  A very good review by edward, here.

And I thought all musical gifts came my way.

Pavel Haas: Study for String Orchestra (1943) (Frieder Obstfeld/Westfälische Kammerphilharmonie) - Sort of reminds me of Hindemith, in the best way.

Taneyev's Violin Concerto (Gorelov, Borodin, Kurgan SO - dunno the label, Don :) )

Same commentary as above.
