Mahler: Symphony No. 9 In D Major


Que

Q

listener

#58604
Szymanowski violin and piano music: Sonata op.,Romance op.23, Notturno e tarantella op.28, Mythes op.30, 3 Paganini Caprices op.40, La Berceuse d'Aitcho Enia op.52.  I've seen a transcription of Roxelane's aria from "King Roger"  not included here
Then Milhaud Concerto for Vibraphone and Marimba (only one soloist listed), Cortège funèbre, and String Sinfonietta, and Michael Radanovics' Introversion - sounds like Lionel Hampton meets Lutoslawski at times, a fugue is sometimes welcome to help focus on just what might possibly be a theme instead of a really big band set.

I totally agree.  Vartolo is a wonderful Bach performer.  I especially enjoy how he brings out the severity and darkness of the Art of Fugue; as a result, the uplifting Bach passages are a compelling contrast.  Too many performers minimize the work's severity.

"Severity". I did search that word when I wrote my post, but I didn't find it. I thought "seriousness" like is "serious", for instance, a child playing his games... But "severity" is probably more exact here.  :)

By coincidence I was also listening to some lute, but your listening looks rather more intriguing.  :)

Well, since this is the NEW forum I might as well try to post what I'm listening to for a while (I know I won't persevere - that's what happened on the old one :().

Right now I just finished:

Andrzej Dziadek Stabat Mater for soprano and string orchestra (Elzbieta Towarnicka, Polish Radio National Symphony Orchestra/Antoni Wit)

Jan Oleszkowicz Lux aeterna for orchestra (Polish Radio Orchestra/Wojciech Michniewski)

Good day to you all! :D

Recently I heard on You Tube two works by Alexander Krein: Poem 1 and Poem 2 for Piano.  Excellent pieces which reflect the subtleties and nuances of his particular style.   Krein wrote many vocal pieces many of which are available on recordings.  His two masterpieces remain, in my judgement, the "After Scriabin" Symphony, and the superb Piano Sonata.

Andrei Nikolsky

Good afternoon, everyone. :)

Starting my seasonal listening with Une Cantate de Nöel, a piece I came across from last year's GMG Christmas music discussion:



Then dispelling the yuletide mood with some Shostakovich (#15) :P:



Mravinsky's 15 has a relentless forward momentum; it seems a bit more driven than Kondrashin's, which is my favourite.
Durch alle Töne tönet
Im bunten Erdentraum
Ein leiser Ton gezogen
Für den der heimlich lauschet.

Well, I would expect Joan of Arc at the Stake would be enough to dispell the yuletide mood...



Now listening: Alwyn Violin Concerto (CHANDOS)
Do what I must do, and let what must happen happen.

Holst was incapable of writing music which did not charm and seduce. Total hug-music.
