What were you listening to? (CLOSED)

[Coopmv]

Now playing CD7 - French Overture from this set for a first listen ...

Ralph Kirkpatrick was indeed the American Gustav Leonhardt, what a harpsichordist he was.   A Scarlatti scholar and for years Professor at Yale ...

In the days before professional orchestras were common, performer-composers would write themselves concertos for minimal accompaniment, getting a pick up crew where possible, and improvising the missing parts themselves when necessary.
There are chamber versions recorded of Mozart and Beethoven concertos, for example.
Tonight's listening is the chamber version of MOSCHELES Piano Concerto in C, op. 87, for piano with string quartet and double bass.   
and on the same program for solo piano KALKRENNER  Effusio Musica, Grand Fantasy op. 68
Mary Louise Boehm, piano   with Kees Kooper, Judith Yanchus, Paul Doktor, Janos Scholz, and Jeffrey Levine.

WIENIAWSKI   Études-Caprices for 2 violins, op.18   LECLAIR  Sonata for 2 violins in e, op.3/5
HANDEL arr. HALVORSEN Passacaglia in g  for violin and viola   SPOHR Duo in D for 2 violins op.67/2
Itzhak Perlman, violin     Pinchas Zukerman, violin and viola

Then you're missing one.  You are listening to the 4th.

Correct, my bad. The Fourth it is.

I don't often feel like Bach, but today it hits the spot. Very enticing...

Bach: Trio Sonata No. 1 In Eb Major, BWV 525

[Florestan]

First listening:

How is she? (Musically speaking, of course... )

[Sergeant Rock]

I like that set [Guarneri] although I have the Brilliant classic edition.

So do I. The first violin's vibrato may turn some off but I like the sound. Listening now to a longtime favorite op.135, the Emerson's.



I especially like the very powerful way they play the "Muss es sein" theme but I have to say the Guarneri's slow movement is superior (and almost two minutes slower!). Snyprrr was right about its haunting quality.

Håkon Austbø, piano

Recording: 18-20 March 2002

Believe on me when I say that Austbø is much better than Kempff in these works. Superb performances: they produce the impression of a thing longly thought; on the slow side, but with great inner tension. These interpretations have made me to think about the relationship between Brahms and Erik Satie. It's weird, isn't it?

Looks like I bought the right box (if it ever arrives).

Looks like I bought the right box (if it ever arrives).   

I would say, yes; but I wouldn't like to be without the other one. 

[Brahmsian]

Looks like I bought the right box (if it ever arrives).   

When did you order it?  I seem to remember that it took a few weeks to arrive for me.

Antoine - there is a 6-CD Brilliant box of Brahms' Piano Works w/ Wolfram Schmitt-Leonardy, Kamerhan Turan, & Hakon Austbo - assume all of these discs are included in that  BIG BOX?  I own the Katchen set but not much more Brahms' solo piano - do all three of these pianists perform well?  Thanks - Dave
