What were you listening to? (CLOSED)

[jlaurson]

Earlier, this:


Toni Bruckner
Symphony No.5
H.Blomstedt / Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra
Querstand SACD
German link - UK link

Surely the most surefooted American Bruckner conductor... pace D.R.Davies.

Now this:


Toni Bruckner
Symphony No.7
H.Blomstedt / Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra
Querstand SACD
German link - UK link

Blomstedt's Seventh is if anything even more impressive than the 5th (which does, however, really come around by the time the finale hits, which chimes with my concert experience of Blomstedt in B5). In fact, superlative! I could get lost in this.

[Karl Henning]

Bruckner is taking over!

[TheGSMoeller]

Bruckner is taking over!

I can't find my ticket for that ride. 

[jlaurson]

I can't find my ticket for that ride. 

That's sad, assuming you meant that metaphysically, not because your copy of Gunter Wand's Berlin Eighth has fallen between the sofa and the radiator and you can't find it anymore.

[North Star]

It is a fragment of Le dessert de gaufrettes, a pianting by Lubin Baugin (Louvre) So there's your answer: they are indeed French waffle wafers!

On the disc is just solo lute music by Charles Mouton, pupil of Denis Gaultier.



Q

Also used in Leonhardt's disc of Louis Couperin and Frescobaldi (didn't recognize it from your original post, though)
I'll give it a spin after next.

Now:
Mozart
Symphony no. 40 in G minor
Mackerras & Scottish Chamber Orchestra  (and just 7:07 in the first movement )
[asin]B0011J2R0K[/asin]

[TheGSMoeller]

That's sad, assuming you meant that metaphysically, not because your copy of Gunter Wand's Berlin Eighth has fallen between the sofa and the radiator and you can't find it anymore.

I think if I see one more posting of Wand's RCA set it will end up in my Amazon cart.
I've only heard the 7th from that set, it's my kind of Bruckner.

[Opus106]

Just because, you know, I can:

Dave,  You can make your listening time since you are retired ...     

Well, had some chores & errands to do, plus a routine 6-month doctor visit which always seems to take 2+ hrs w/ the waiting - but back to listening a LOT today!  Dave

Bruckner

FINE, why don't you guys MAKE me. GOSH.

CD 2 of this three-decker:
[asin]B000000AQQ[/asin]

Symphony No. 2 "Cambridge"
Symphony No. 3 "English"
LPO/M. Bamert cond.

First listen to any music of Parry.  Initial reaction is that Elgar and RVW (and Delius, too, in his own fashion) were quite worthy successors of this composer-who-ought-to-be-played-more.

[Fafner]

Shostakovich: Symphony No. 11 "The Year 1905" (or so he said...)
Mariss Jansons, Philadelphia Orchestra

I have decided to assist you in filling your Amazon Cart dream:

[asin]B0042U2HLY[/asin]

Listening to Symphony 1 (again).

Listening to Symphony 1 (again).

I like the way you put it, John.

Thread duty, Prokofiev's Ivan the Great, this music is terrible.

[Brian]

Symphony No. 2 "Cambridge"

I have very fond memories of this symphony. Parry may be up in the afternoon... if it's not more Bruckner!
