What were you listening to? (CLOSED)

[Opus106]

I'm putting myself through that piece just so I could make that stupid joke! 

[Que]

I seem to swing back into a mood for more Romantic music lately - I'll be listened to non stop Bruckner & Mahler before you know it!

 

Of course the box set only includes the final version of the 5th symphony and combines it with En Saga, Pohjola's Daughter, Valse Triste and Finlandia. But you get the picture!

Oh, Que. Say it ain't so!

WHAT is your Quest?

[Marc]

Listening myself to Die Kunst der Fuge of a certain Bach.



I'm still not sure: do I prefer this on harpsichord or organ?

Harpsichord.

Mmm .... .

For divine clarity: yes.
For divine sound: no.

NO?

Nor am I. In a certain way it depends very much on the performer.

BTW Rogg´s Art of Fugue is one of the more consistent and eloquent IMO.

PS: I have still not found the hybrid disc´s (you know which), despite two hours hard work sunday!!

(Whispers off-topic):
check the Bach organ (still) works thread. I was lucky not to have to find them myself; they were sent to me.

On-topic: yes, I'm thoroughly enjoying Mr. Rogg in this masterpiece! Another example of straight-forward organ playing that suits my taste.

Yes, thanks, I have seen your post. But I still must find these hybrids.

[Marc]

Yes, thanks, I have seen your post. But I still must find these hybrids.

Of course you must. But, if this may be of any comfort to you: if you don't find them, I'll be humming them integrally for you.
Beginning with BWV 565 of course: humhumhummm .... humhumhumhumhummhummmm..

Fortunately I have the original Danish Classico release, which is the one I use to listen to. This is of course the reason why I have put the hybrid release too well aside.

Hm, Vad begins with the Es-major triosonata.

Bassariden suite

Bassariden suite

I heard that live, in the most romantic-possible performance... it sounded like Pfitzner & Debussy. Incredibly awesome. (Also a very nice opera, which I had seen only half a year before that. But then I had not noticed just how romantic the piece can be. This discs demands a bit of fantasy on your part to gather what its possibilities are...

It's nice that James will have someone to talk Stockhausen with!
