What were you listening to? (CLOSED)

[Coopmv]

Good evening, yes it is. It's a 2 CD set.

What a bummer?  I have most of Maria Tipo's EMI CD recordings in their original "jacket" except this one ...

Some affordable used copies here - http://www.amazon.com/Maria-Tipo-Chopin-Nocturnes-Fryderyk/dp/B000002RU4/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1264731027&sr=8-2

The new copy is one of those overpriced archiv CD-Rs.

What the Gluck. May as well listen to some opera.

I'm enjoying this. Time for disc two.

Playing this set again - it is a real favourite lately :
Beethoven: Piano Sonata No. 30 In E Major, Op. 109

I almost grabbed that set recently, but it wasn't cheap enough. I also wished that they boxed it with his Concerto recoridings with Klemperer.

That looks interesting Harry.

Now for me:

[UB]

Sid Robinovitch - Suite for Klezmer Band & orchestra. A suite of music that runs from great fun to reflective. I am not a big fan of Klezmer music but the use of the band and orchestra together really works for me.

VIVALDI:        Motets                              / Berganza, ECO, Ros-Marbá

This works could be scenes of operas. They require an incredible vocal virtuosity. Berganza is perhaps not perfect, but the beauty of the voice is delightful.

[Harry]

Antonin Dvorak.
Complete Symphonies.
Symphony No. 8 in G major, opus 88.
Oslo PO, Mariss Jansons.

Yes, I thought you would want to do that right away! 

Seriousy, though, if I'm able to attend any of this exciting series, I'll be glad to report on GMG. I've had attended several Jordi Savall events at the Met Museum and his work is always mesmerizing.

[George]

Some how I expected more of this set, as it is, Gergiev is easily outclassed by many a competitor.
So how do you like them George?
