Last post by Symphonic Addict - Today at 05:06:21 PMBritten: King Arthur Suite; An American Overture
My first time listening to the King Arthur Suite. It has to be one of his most epic-sounding works, the music certainly lives up to the expectations. I enjoyed it quite a bit. An American Overture is not far removed from liveliness and colour either. The strokes of the timpani sound powerful reaching the ending.

Composer Discussion / Re: Bruckner's Abbey

Incidentally I just listened to Abbado and Lucerne FO in the 9th, the DG/Accentus release.
Shall not say too much about it, I consider myself a Bruckner novice.
Abbado is usually a safe choice for any work: I recall a concert with him conducting the Berlin Philharmonic in Beethoven's Symphony #4 followed by Schoenberg's Pelleas und Melisande.
The latter work was given chamber-like clarity and the climaxes were tremendously powerful!
The Bruckner Symphony IX performance here is considered a classic:

The Diner / Re: Last Movie You Watched
Last post by Cato - Today at 04:34:45 PMOne of my favorite movies: Time Limit, a court-martial drama based on Korean War experiences.
Richard Widmark and Richard Basehart with a good number of great character actors (e.g. Martin Balsam and Rip Torn).

An Amazon MP vendor thinks this is so good he can get $299 for a new copy of the individual CD.
