Bloch: Suite For Viola and Orchestra. Timothy Ridout (viola), BBC Symphony Orchestra/Martyn Brabbins.
Orientalist beauty.

[Todd]

Disc 11, Debussy, Ravel, and Mozart from 1948-49.  The Debussy Images sound fantastic, light and breezy, with nimbleness on display.  Though the 78s mask it, Gieseking also plays with some dynamic power.  The smaller pieces sound superb.  The Ravel Miroirs sounds freer, more spontaneous than the later recording, based on memory, though A/Bs will be easy.  Indeed, everything here sounds more spontaneous because it is.  The disc closes with Mozart's K545, with Gieseking playing with precious restraint, as in his later Mozart.  This single disc offers an almost ideal encapsulation of the pianist's art.

And this is the CD

Good catch!

Bloch: Suite For Viola and Orchestra. Timothy Ridout (viola), BBC Symphony Orchestra/Martyn Brabbins.
Orientalist beauty.

I think the Bloch was the best part of the album.

A blast from the past, I haven't listen to this in close to 20 years.



I enjoyed Essay #1 best, and in fact I replayed it.

Antonín Dvořák
Stabat Mater, op. 58

Janice Watson, soprano
Dagmar Pecková, mezzo
Peter Auty, tenor
Peter Rose, bass
London PO & Choir - Neeme Järvi (rec. 2010)

For today:

I still own Robert Shaw's Telarc recording, issued around his death. It is 2CDs and 85 minutes long.

While I enjoy bold choices in interpretation, ones that occasionally go against the grain, Neeme Järvi, on 1 CD and 67 minutes in length, has the potential to just sound wrong.

I know timings don't tell the whole story, but a 20-minute difference between recordings seems substantial! We'll see...

Damn, that looks good. Also, I didn't realize how many diaries he published.

Not sure if we needed two Vivaldi concertos, but other than that the programming of this disc is interesting and performances very engaging.

Sarge

[Lisztianwagner]

3 and 5 are, by far, my favourites.

They certainly sounded terribly good! I particularly enjoyed Symphony No. 5, very brilliant work, highly evocative especially in the slower sections.

Bizet - Symphony in C (F.-X. Roth, Les Siècles)

It has been some time since I last heard that presentation but I have fond memories of it.
