Mendelssohn: String Quintet No. 2 In Bb Major, Op. 87

Now on Disc 08 of the Mendelssohn Box and listening to the String Quintets for the second time today. Next I will play Disc 2 of the Barenboim/Stern set which has some wonderful chamber music for Piano & Violin

Locke: Suite No. 1 In 4 Parts In D Major

Disc 4 of this recently arrived set

ZEMLINSKY:         Lyrische Symphonie            / Varady, Fischer Dieskau, BPO, Maazel

The masterpiece of Zemlinsky in a very beautiful interpretation. Pity that the CD has not the poems of Tagore (unlike the LP version I had for many years).

[Sadko]

Giuseppe Martucci

CD 3

La canzone dei ricordi
Piano concerto no. 1

Francesco Caramiello, piano
Rachel Yakar, soprano

[Karl Henning]

Oh, that's great -- no symphonies at all! (On the brighter side, a HIP recording of Davidde Penitente is available again.)

OTOH, the fact that there are no symphonies means no duplication for me . . . some of those composers are not particularly of interest to me, but hey, maybe this set will rehabilitate them ; )

[Karl Henning]

Dietrich Buxtehude.

Complete Harpsichord Music on 4 CD'S.

CD I. (64:25)

Suites, Aria's, Courante, Canzona.

I wrote enough about this set, nothing to add, then the fact that its excellent on all counts.

Beautiful stuff, Harry!

Brrr! If you're ever going to get into bubbly Italian fluff, then Geminiani's bubbly Italian fluff is some of the finest you could choose

-_- I get that a lot for small-label US pop, it's a fuss. I upped two sections for your streamification here: 1, 2. The host seems a bit temperamental today, but if streaming fails, there is a dl option.

It won't let me DL or stream without signing in. I forgot my userword/password so I'll have to find them (I know I wrote them down). Thanks for taking the trouble, Sara. I'll get it yet 

In the meantime, listening to Bax 3 conducted by Sir Edward Downes.

Don't bother with this one, Sarge. It's appealing music from a contemporary composer; very low-brow.



On a more serious note, it's a bit fun, indeed, but I just wish it wasn't so repetitive (within the span 140 seconds!).

Hey!!!

Michael Nyman's really super fun first string quartet. A little snippet:

Figure H....Nyman borrows the Righteous Brothers' Unchained Melody?    Was that on purpose or a happy accident?

It's appealing music from a contemporary composer; very low-brow.

Yeah, white soul music rendered minimal 

Sarge

[Opus106]

Hey!!!

Wow, I was able to hear that one all the way over here!
