Yes, and what a pity Arcana folded before they could finish this cantata cycle.

Indeed - I already know that I would love to have all eight cantatas.

The performers are still around. :) So maybe...? ::)

Isn't it!  The pianists are new to me too, and are doing a quite savage version of the Poulenc.  :D

Bloody hell, Symphonycast just cut me off in the middle of adagio of Roussel's 3rd, now it's giving me some 'timed out' message. >:( Will give it another go tomorrow.

Both pianists are French, young-ish but not completely unknown. Le Sage has well reviewed ongoing Schumann cycle for Alpha, and Braley recorded often with Capucon brothers, their Ravel sonatas and trio are generally high regarded, never clicked with me much, though. I'd like to hear his solo piano Gershwin disc for Harmonia Mundi. Le Sage & Braley actually recorded Poulenc concerto with Stephane Deneve, for whom the youngster is subing in this concert.

Deuxième année. 0:)

I bought this set a few months ago.  Lazar Berman was really one of the most underrated great Russian pianists during his lifetime.  This is an excellent set ...

Mozart, WA - Symphonies, Nos. 21-21 on 6 CDs w/ Josef Krips and the Concertgebouw Orch (recorded 1972-74; our son was born in 1973 - special feeling here!) - tonight, just the first 2 discs (i.e. Symphonies 21-29, K. 134 up to K. 201); modern instruments but a light approach - sound production outstanding for the period - expect to enjoy this set!  :)

I have quite a few LP's by Krips but do not have any of his CD's.

Stuart - this Krips Mozart set has been well applauded and was interested in an alternate interpretation from my Mackerras set - great support from forum members - just curious if this music is 'what' you own on LP?

I still want to obtain a more period instrument box of the Wolfie Symphonies - Hogwood is at the top of my list (but I owned some years ago and was not thrilled, but may have been my 'early ignorance' of historic performance; of course vs. the quality of the sound recording from those early times?) - still contemplating on this choice) - Dave

I have to search for the Krips' LP's.  I don't recall if they are works of Mozart or works by some of the other classical composers such as Beethoven.  As my LP's are not cataloged on my computer, it can get a bit painful to search through a few thousands of them.

Though I have gone through only 2 CD's of the Hogwood set, I am quite happy with what I have heard so far.  I do have one CD and a few open-reel tapes I bought years ago that are part of this collection ...

Leaving tomorrow to deliver a 4 hour lecture (very interactive) to a branch of GM. I am bring some music as always for airport and other idle time. But this time, some music will be used in the lecture, for opening, reflections, interacting with audience (audience reflecting some of their personal moments), etc. Some of those music may include:

O Fortuna (opening)

Andante Cantabile from Pathetique sonata
Meditation from Thais
A couple of Chopin nocturnes
Gu Qin music
Guitar music, Fernando Sor
Charlie Parker

Do what I must do, and let what must happen happen.
