Lang Lang : Dragon songs.

The Yellow River Concerto is simply an astounding work.

I'm very curious to hear this CD.  He did the Dance of Spring (by Sun Yiqiang) as an encore last year - a brilliant, very entertaining little piece.

Now listening to:

Beethoven: Piano Trio in E-flat, Op. 1, No. 1 (Kalichstein-Laredo-Robinson) - From a 2-CD re-release marking the group's 30th anniversary, and totally sparkling...who could resist this?

Two wonderfully dynamic orchestral works, in outstanding performances:

Beethoven 8 - RPO/Scherchen
Carter Concerto for Orchestra - NYPO/Boulez

[Valentino]

Good evening!

Beethoven: PC 4. Moravec, Wiener Musikvereinorchester, Turnovsky.

Rather addictive, the style of Moravec.

More Greek-inspired stuff. This CD with Stravinsky ballets. A really nice CD, and I especially found Agon exciting. Are there even better performances of this work out there?

Good evening!

Beethoven: PC 4. Moravec, Wiener Musikvereinorchester, Turnovsky.

Rather addictive, the style of Moravec.

Had a chance to see him live.  I can understand your dilemma.   

PS: Is that Juliette Binoche?  If so, great call for an avatar.

CD 2: Chopin: Scherzo 2, Ballade 1, Andante Spianato et Grande Polonaise, Berceuse, Piano Sonata 2, Mazurka, Waltz. Recorded from 1962 - 1985


My goodness, this Scherzo has never sounded so delicate, yet also vehement where appropriate. Amazing, that Michelangeli at 65 could play with such intensity. I am SO glad I bought this set. Thanks to all who recommended it. 

[Lethevich]

Hartmann - Symphony No.8 (BRSO)

[orbital]

CD 2: Chopin: Scherzo 2, Ballade 1, Andante Spianato et Grande Polonaise, Berceuse, Piano Sonata 2, Mazurka, Waltz. Recorded from 1962 - 1985


My goodness, this Scherzo has never sounded so delicate, yet also vehement where appropriate.

The Ballade too I am sure, although I'm not sure if that is the same one I have.

Surprisingly good Ballade No4 even if in an unfamiliar sound.

[Lilas Pastia]

Dvorak: symphony no. 6 - Swedish Chamber Orchestra, Thomas Dausgaard.

Well....different  .

It is of course JB.
I only have Moravec in three Beethoven-pieces. There is a 4CD-set from Supraphon on my wish list.

Vivaldi: L'estro Armonico. Europa Galante/Biondi. Disc two.

God søndagsmorgen! Beautiful weather, yellowing birch leaves etc. Rather enjoyable actually.

Vivaldi: L'estro Armonico. Europa Galante/Biondi. Disc two

Morning Valentino,

Is that recording with Biondi an old friend or a new acquisition?


Listening to this myself:

[Valentino]

Morning, Que! It's an old friend. I'm not good at logging when I buy music, but I must have bought this one just after it's release in '98. That was when I had bought my first Sonus fabers, and started indulging myself in string quartets and boogie-woogie baroque!

It's Sunday, so:
