What were you listening to? (CLOSED)

[Willoughby earl of Itacarius]

Interesting repertoire! But Cantus Cöln would indeed not be the fisrt ensemble to come to mind.

Intriguing as well, any elaboration in due time would be most welcome.


Listening now:

Johan Bapist Cramer & Franz Schubert - I quite like the Cramer!

Asking you some time ago about the Vivaldi box Que on Brilliant, maybe you did not see it?

Now:

Listening to Symphony No. 2 from this set. Awesome!

That would be the one with the Concerti da Camera with Guglielmo et al. I remember playing only the 1st disc of that set so far, will report back tomorrow morning!

John, you've inspired me to listen to some Elgar.  Same band and conductor for the Serenade for Strings, and Violin Concerto.

With our home province boy, James Ehnes on the fiddle!

Very good, Ray! I haven't heard Ehnes performance of Elgar's VC, please let me know what you think about it. I'm not a big Ehnes fan, but will admit that he's great player. No doubt about that.

That's OK, not everyone's cup of tea.  And perhaps I am biased because he's a fellow Manitoban.  However, I love his sweet, smooth and mellow tone.  I've heard him perform live on two occasions, and both were incredible experiences!

Symphony No.1

Shostakovich

Symphonies

Orchestra Sinfonica di Milano Giuseppe Verdi
Oleg Caetani



CD 3: Symphonies 3 + 14

[Karl Henning]

. . . I thought it odd that Spotify had it listed under Sweelinck as the artist.  This is one of the problems with Spotify.

Well, but the composer is an artist ; ) does the problem perhaps stem from pop-speak, where artist became somehow restricted to performer? . . .

Who sings in the Fourteenth? (Can't see the image.)

Who sings in the Fourteenth? (Can't see the image.)

Marina Poplavskaya (soprano)
Mikhail Davidov (baritone)

(I didn't scan the individual booklet covers yet, so that information wasn't visible anyway.)

[Karl Henning]

Oh, yes I understand that, although,  I don't enjoy it when Spotify will list 20 recordings of the Mass in B Minor with J.S. Bach showing as the artist.  It is only once you've opened the album view do you see the actual recording artist.

Somewhat of a pain.

(I feel ya.)

Thanks! Do they sing in Russian throughout?

[TheGSMoeller]

Continuing my rounds through my Faure Requiem discs. This particular one with Short/LSO sounds great, been enjoying more every time I spin it. Interesting coupling with Bach, but overall very well done.

[Sadko]

Thanks! Do they sing in Russian throughout?

Yes, the Italian choir too. They sing well, but it is a notable difference in the voices from Russian choirs. I'm glad they chose Russian soloists. Although I don't understand it I can still tell how laboured Russian pronunciation sounds from most non-Russian singers.

  You might wonder, Karajan UND JS Bach?? What an unorthodox combination but Karajan brings out the beauty in the score sublimely.  A very strong cast, tempi are on the slow side but the overall effect is very pleasing.

Strauss (R): Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme Suite, Op. 60


Good morning all - Ive been listening to R. Strauss from the Kempe box-set since Christmas. I also listened to some of my Karajan recordings of Strauss. I will probably continue to listen to selections from these recordings for the next day or two. Will report in again when I switch to something different
