What were you listening to? (CLOSED)

[Sergeant Rock]

Inspired by the dwarf's thread, a Zemlinsky afternoon. Listening to the Clarinet Trio in D minor right now, to be followed by the Second String Quartet:






Sarge

[karlhenning]

Four Henning anthems:

Hodie Christus natus est, Opus 76
Bless the Lord, O My Soul, Opus 32a
Alleluia in A-flat, Opus 33
Nunc dimittis, Opus 87 № 9

[orbital]

[Lilas Pastia]

And afterwards, very unusual for me Puccini, Victoria de Los Angeles, singing, "Un bel di Vendrome" aided by the Orchestra of the Royal Opera house, covent Garden/Rudolf Kempe, a old recording, but what a fine voice.

Ahem... It's vedremo, not vendrome  That apart, I envy you! I wasn't aware of that recording. De los Angeles is the finest Butterfly in my experience.

Dvorak: Symphony no 9. Vienna symphony, Jascha Horenstein (mono, 1952). A Wow performance!

[Bogey]

LvB Symphony No. 4
BPO/HvK
DG ('63)

Some of the most outstanding modernised, noisy mush ever recorded.

I'm listening to my favorite mush 



and earlier, some clear broth:




Sarge

[George]

Haydn

String Quartets Op. 77

Quatuor Festetics

Harmonia Mundi 1991


These must be different from the ones on Arcana from seven years later. Enjoying these. 

[Bogey]

Beethoven Missa Solemnis
The Monteverdi Choir/The English Baroque Soloists/Gardiner
Archiv Produktion

[karlhenning]

Hindemith
Concerto for Orchestra, Opus 38
Berliner Philharmoniker
the composer conducting

[Harry]

Dutch Organs from 1511-1896.

Box with 20 cd's.

Volume VI.

Works from Babou/Fischer/Couperin/Cabezon/Phillips/Kerll/Locatelli/.

Players, Leen de Broekert/Marcel Verheggen/Conny van der Maten/Pieter Dirksen/Geert Bierling/

As I said before, this for me is the most important release from the year 2007. Never in all my listening life have I ever been so excited about a release as this Organ box, and therefore it is extremely important to me. I could not have wished for a better list of composers nor so good a team of players that cooperated on this gigantic undertaking that took 20 years to complete, the work of a single man called Okke Dijkhuizen. All those beautiful restaurated old organs, all brought back to their original state when possible, and the heap of unknown organ composition brought back to life again. In a well documented book, the history of every single organ, with full color pictures, and the dates of all the restauration works, it is a treasure that I cannot rate to high.

[Kullervo]

Yesterday:



Schumann - Symphonies 1 & 2 (Szell/Cleveland)




Zemlinsky - Psalm 23, Symphony in B-Flat (Chailly/RSO Berlin)

Another radio discovery for me. The music sometimes borders on a film sondtrack, but at other times you hear this very energetic mixture of sounds from the whole orchestral spectrum. He is obviously a very fine orchestrator.
