What were you listening to? (CLOSED)

[Opus106]

Nice disk, Florestan. Despite being a piano specialist, Dussek apparently knew his way around a string quartet too.

I don't know if you or other fans of Dussek here have heard about it already, but there is likely some PI Dussek chamber music in the recording pipe-line.

I [Richard Egarr] am embarking on a project to perform and record the solo works, and hopefully also the chamber music and concerti.  This is music worth getting to know and indulging in.

Good quartets. The first (which I'm listening to now) reminds me somewhat of Tippet.

*Bangs the table*

Is this set a recent acquisition? (pardon me, lots of studies at the moment)
What do you think of the piece? (or other stuff in the box, if  you've heard them)

No problem, Karlo. Yes, a rather recent acquisition, I bought the Janacek box as Christmas present. The String Quartet No.1 was very enchanting, I really enjoyed the virtuosity of the instruments and the haunting, passionate melodies created; the touch of melancholy depicted in the piece is very thrilling.
I've also listened to In the mist, A recollection and Tema con variazioni, all pretty good.

Good evening 

A little Schubert evening tonight :

Sonata D.960 - Lupu

Impromptu D.899 - M.J. Pires

now :

Symphony No.9 - G. Wand / Koelner Rundfunk SO

will probably finish by some Lieder by DFD.

0:)

On right now:


Rued Langgaard
Symphony no. 6 'Det Himmelrivende'
Artur Rubinstein Philharmonic Orchestra
Ilya Stupel, conductor



Langgaard has often gone over my head in the past - especially the symphonies that include choir or solo singers.  The Sixth, however, I'm quite enjoying so far.

Excellent! (except for In the mist being just 'pretty good', but first listenings are funny like that)

Ripping the rest of my order from New Year's eve, and listening to this from the 'box' (Naïve style - cardboard and the original releases in jewelcases)

Thread Duty: LvB Op. 70/1 - Florestan Trio

Wonderful! I shall have it.

Op 70 #1; my favorite trio? Yes, maybe so. The least appreciated of the set judging by the number of recordings. It probably still speaks rather than paints... 

[Gurn Blanston]

Op 70 #1; my favorite trio? Yes, maybe so. The least appreciated of the set judging by the number of recordings. It probably still speaks rather than paints... 

Of course, I'm really referring to #2...   There must be 8 million recordings of #1.... my bad.

I hope Egarr gets on with it in the Dussek. My collection is spotty at best.

From the Günter Wand Great Recordings boxset :




Stravinsky - Dumbarton Oaks

Wolfgang Fortner - Bluthochzeit, Zwischenspiele fur Orchester

Anton Webern - Five Pieces for Orchestra

Franck Martin - Petite symphonie Concertante.


I am pretty sure I have listened to Dumbarton Oaks before but never to the 3 other works.

[Lisztianwagner]

Excellent! (except for In the mist being just 'pretty good', but first listenings are funny like that)

Yeah, it's certainly an enchanting work! Maybe I'll listen to it now:

HANSON:

"Merry Mount" Suite

Just heard the "Love Duet" from the Merry Mount suite in the car earlier today. The music had already started so the fact it was Hanson was a mystery but I kept thinking to myself "This is an interesting Sibelius piece". So I now know one composer who felt the influence of Sibelius.

But certainly a nice piece overall in its own right.
