George Lloyd Symphony No. 9, especially the grim slow movement.

Yes, a very fine symphony with the slow movement being my favorite part.

Beethoven: Symphony No. 9 (Bruno Seidler-Winkler / Neues Symphonie-Orchester). The very first recording of this piece, from 1923. Probably something many people would want to hear at least once, if only for the history.

Great Recordings and Reviews / Re: Beethoven's Piano Sonatas

And op 110 for Koch. I haven't read the discussion above so it may have been mentioned. I can let you have it.

Thank you for the offer. However, I just remembered that I've had this CD for many years, although I haven't listened to it recently. I even referred to the Appassionata on this CD in a post on this thread a few days ago, noting that I found the anonymous Appassionata on a pirated CD (which also includes Tomsic's Op. 13 and 27.2) to be more impressive than Tomsic's Appassionata on the Koch label. It seems we compete for the title of being the most senior.

Dieter Goldmann is a fictitious name. I own one of these budget releases where all three sonatas are attributed to Tomsic. However, I question whether it is her playing the Appassionata Sonata. Indeed, she recorded the Appassionata Sonata for the Koch label, but that is a separate recording. Interestingly, the budget Appassionata is much superior to hers.

I know someone who says he once contacted her management and they reported that the budget label Beethoven is definitely hers, the Koch Beethoven was not mentioned at all.

Ironically, some of her Scarlatti was released on Concert Artists and attributed to Joyce Hatto!

Very "cool", opus 117a and 149a (gently sad)  music....I hope you will find real instruments/performers soon!

Something I picked up in Dutton's Spring clearance sale so cheap and very cheerful.  Heads up to Harry after his recent enoyment of the Chandos series of English Cello works - this is a lovely appendix to that.  Different artists but very well played.  Most of the music is very immediaely attractive and relatively undemanding but I must admit I was a bit surprised just how good it is in absolute terms.  Very well played and something of a find.... especially the Bainton Sonata

I once traded a copy of Tim Buckley's Starsailor album (the one that has the original "Song To The Siren") with a friend for his copy of Yungchen Lhamo's Coming Home album. No regrets.

I was a big fan of Real World releases 20 or so years ago. Didn't listen for years, and now it sounds fresh again

Two eminently lyric quartets by this Lithuanian composer (1884-1941). The First Quartet is imbued with delightful rustic gestures. The Second Quartet is less memorable yet very beautiful.

I keep meaning to play this, so it is good to be prompted! Appreciate the intro...

Listening now!
