What were you listening to? (CLOSED)

[The new erato]

I enjoy Gunther Schuller's recording of this on DG a lot, but for a more echt, ragtime experience this seems to be the ticket (it has had smashing reviews):

Simply wonderful, life enhancing; puts a smile on my face on this wet summer day.

[The new erato]

First concerto disc from this newly aquired set; and it sounds really great. Good playing, superb sound!

[asin]B0006Q2TL6[/asin]

Second disc now. What brilliant works these are! And the positive impressions of the set is just as strong for disc no 2.

Good morning !

BERLINER PHILHARMONIKER - ANDRIS NELSONS
Wolfgang Rihm - Marsyas, Rhapsody for trumpet with percussion and orchestra (2nd version)

Gábor Tarkövi Trumpet, Jan Schlichte Percussion

What did you think, Oli? And I highly recommend that you listen to the rest of that concert, truly outstanding!

Earlier:


J.S. Bach
6 Partitas
Zhu Xiao-Mei
Mirare

German link - UK link

So very, very good... my favorite (piano) alternative to the different and also sublime Schiff ECM remake.

Now:


D. Shostakovich
Symphyony No.15 / Piano Concerto No.1
Rozhdestvensky / Kissin
Olympia

German link - UK link

The 15th exists in many imprints (JVC, Melodiya Twofer with Sy.14, Olympia with Sy.2 & Bedbug, Praga with Suite from "The Nose"); I'm listening to the Olympia release that's coupled with the very young Kissin's First Piano Concerto. The pictures on the US site is either wrong or the disc is mis-listed there. (Best buy, by far, is the latter release, from German Amazon.)

[Sergeant Rock]

Elgar Symphony #1 A flat, Slatkin conducting the LPO

Now:

I did struggle. Very much over on the dark side still for me ! 

[Karl Henning]

I'm playing my way through this set:



I'm on CD 8 right now - (Symphonic poems IV - Haitink an L.P.O.)

Nice; I like Haitink very well in these.

[Karl Henning]

Second disc now. What brilliant works these are! And the positive impressions of the set is just as strong for disc no 2.

It's on the Monnaie, is it?

I have never warmed up to this piece, so maybe I'll enjoy it after this listening

[nico1616]

Beethoven/Thielemann, symphonies 5 and 6.
This set takes some time to adjust to, some original tempo choices but I am beginning to like it.

[The new erato]

It's on the Monnaie, is it?

Yep, right on!

[TheGSMoeller]

Possibly the best solo piano recording of Glass' music other than the composer himself, Whitwell delivers a lot of emotion.
