Last post by Løvfald - Today at 05:42:24 PMRochberg: Symphony No. 2
More compact and cogent than the 1st Symphony. The music has a Bergian quality to it, although this symphony sounds more approachable than anything of the Austrian composer methinks.
Braunfels: Concerto for organ, boys' choir and orchestra
It didn't succeed my expectations, the organ doesn't seem prominent enough to give a good impression. On the other hand, the incorporation of the choir adds a heavenly element to the music I found endearing.

Tip-top Mozart from the Prazak, some of the very best I've heard. But not better than the formidable Armida Quartet, though different. Call it a draw. Lucky for the listener.
I'm noticed that Amazon.com is selling the complete Armida Mozart set for $29.99, which seems anomalously low, given that Presto has it listed for $85.

Took advantage of the Chandos site sale to complete a second Monteverdi Madrigals set and a second complete Soler sonata set, along with some other goodies. At under $3/title, it's impossible to pass up. (Qobuz is cheaper for multi-disc sets when they have a download sale, though.)
The Chandos download UX is the worst I have experienced.

Over the last two nights a rewatch of the Hollow Crown Henry VI. The first part still highly problematic and all too choppy and changey, but it overall went up in my estimation.

I've had important requests for recommendations for students from MIT and various honors colleges almost trashed due to Outlook over-aggressively sending them to the junk folder.
Wow! Well, I can always send a regular letter, if I never hear anything!

Perhaps they have a Spring Vacation right now.

Magnard: Symphony No. 4
Committed performances of both works, but the sound quality is not the ideal in either case.
