What were you listening to? (CLOSED)

[jlaurson]

This could REALLY help! One of my dearest friends, not particularly musically inclined, perked up and found immediate interest in Messiaen. I showed it to her in anticipation of a Messiaen concert which she then found very tolerable. :-)

Jens, I think you were strying to help MI:

Certainly was trying. Are you suggesting otherwise or just innocent typo?

[karlhenning]

Sorry for the typo!

The post you quoted here, though, was Ray's about Tchaikovsky.

Oh... ok. Yes. Now I get it. I've been known to mis-quote. :-)

This one is also interesting.  The wind instruments can give the impression of an extremely lithe organ.

There are quite a lot of recordings of these organ trio´s in different settings. Half a year ago I published a list of the recordings I own (in the Bach´s Chamber and Instrumental Music thread reply 115).

I have heard only clips of the Trio Lézard recording.  Very fine musicianship, but I was put off by the much too modern sounding instruments.

Keeping on with the Tchaikovsky vibe for Harry:

Пётр Ильич [Pyotr Ilyich]
Fantasy-Overture Hamlet, Opus 67
National Symphony
Doráti

[Sergeant Rock]

I'm listening to Peter Il'yich too: Voyevoda (I haven't heard this in twenty years):

Right with you, Sarge:

Пётр Ильич [Pyotr Ilyich]
The Voyevoda, Opus 78
National Symphony
Doráti

Not about to stop now:

Пётр Ильич [Pyotr Ilyich]
Capriccio italien, Opus 45
Detroit Symphony
Doráti

Edit :: typo

I'll give you my thoughts once I give it a spin. I'm expecting that I will enjoy it very much, though.

While the music wasn't bad, in fact it was sung quite good. It just was not my style at all. It was such a throwback to 'classic' chant and liturgical music. I'll admit I did find some of the harmonies very intriguing though.

Listening to Petrenko's Manfred, another Tchaikovsky work I haven't listened to in quite some time. I recall Mrs. Rock had the Muti performance on repeat play a few months ago but I was busy elsewhere.

The previous recording was a Celi.  How did you get to this one so fast?  Did you listen while depressing the "forward scan" button?

Believe it or not, Celi's Mozart is on the swift side. He dispatches the "Haffner" in a mere 16 minutes.

I see, it was one of the Stuttgart recordings.  If it was Munchen, you'd still be listening to the first movement exposition repeat.

You're right. The first movement alone would last 16 minutes

Chopin | Nocturnes, op. 9, 15 / Woodward

Woodward takes risks which makes this overall a very satisfying listening.

[listener]

finishing the SCHUMANN Piano 4-hands set
12 Vierhändige Klavier-Stücke für kleine und grosse Kinder, op. 85
Studies/Sketches for the Pedal Piano  opp. 56/58
Peter Frankl, Andras Schiff   not over-doing these relatively minor pieces, easy to listen to.
Frank BRIDGE   
Phantasie Quartet       Novelletten    3 Idylls
assorted shorter arrangements
Maggini Quartet
To have listed this as Bridge-works might have suggested filing under dentistry or rhinoplasty, perhaps.
Nice, quiet and short, just right for waiting with.
