General Classical Music Discussion / Re: Monthly Focus
Last post by Big David - Today at 04:51:44 AMIn March and April my focus is on British music. So far I have listened to the Mass of Life by Delius; the cello concertos by Paul Patterson, Anna Clyne, Colin and David Matthews, Walton and Errolyn Wallen; various orchestral pieces by Herbert Howells; and symphonies 1 and 2 by Tippett; 3 and 4 by Vaughan Williams; and no. 1 by Robert Simpson.
I was at the Barbican last night for the Vaughan Williams 5th symphony, played by the LSO with Pappano conducting. Very good, I thought.
Over the rest of April I will be listening to VW's late symphonies.

Orchestral Works, Volume 3.
See back cover for details.
Recording venue Concert Hall, Gothenburg, Sweden; 2014 (Symphony No. 5) and 2015 (Symphony No. 1)
This music makes my heart leap, always did. Järvi makes a excellent case for this composer, and Chandos is providing SOTA sound. And by the way, I have the CPO recordings too, and also hold them in great esteem

I've always been a great admirer of Dallapiccola's music, but today this is sounding particularly seductive. Suoerb!

Great Recordings and Reviews / Re: New Releases
Last post by Todd - Today at 04:33:53 AM
I would have thought St Patrick's Day would be the time to release this, but then I don't work in marketing.
Before the image was available, I only saw the 'Canticle of the Sun' title and got my hopes up for a new recording of Gubaidulina's masterpiece. This ain't that.
Pity about the instrument.
Vinyl reissue.
