Last post by Symphonic Addict - Today at 03:09:49 PMThe arrangement for string orchestra of the String Quintet didn't convince much, above all the first two movements. It's the Sinfonia Concertante for violin, viola, two horns and string orchestra the main dish here. A work that is by turns heartfelt and restrained proper of his late period. A great piece.

Last post by Symphonic Addict - Today at 03:03:51 PMQuote from: pjme on Today at 01:55:02 AMSome of these recordings (Léonce Gras , Franz André) must be quite old and -possibly- stem from the radio archives.
The recording of the 5th (the least adequate one of the bunch) is from 1995, and the symphony was played by the Moscow S.O. under Frédéric Devreese.

Flute Trio in G minor, op. 63
Piano Quartet in B-flat Major, op. 8
Irena Grafenauer, flute
Gidon Kremer, violin
Veronika Hagen, viola
Clemens Hagen, cello
Vadim Sakharov, piano
Kremerata Musica
Boy, was I taken aback by Weber's Flute Trio!
Too often I skip over smaller chamber music, but I am glad to have visited this one. Theirs is a robust Romantic view of this music, which I know is not for everyone. It worked for me, though.

General Classical Music Discussion / Re: Purchases Today
Last post by DavidW - Today at 02:50:13 PMI used to own this set quite awhile ago. Now I have it again. I'll probably start with the great 5th which in Previn's hands is simply sublime.
Never owned this before, but I really like Bohm's Schubert.

Last post by SonicMan46 - Today at 02:13:25 PMThis afternoon, I decided to pull out my Martinu collection of just over two dozen discs:
Martinů, Bohuslav -Cello Works & Chamber Music for starters (first row of pics below) + spreadsheet of what else I own at bottom - Bohuslav was an extremely prolific composer (list HERE), some would same TOO productive -
But, I do enjoy many of these works even not being much of a 20th century music fan (but I do have a number of exceptions as the 'usual suspects') -

Last post by Todd - Today at 01:27:22 PMQuote from: Florestan on Today at 01:20:22 PMComparison between Different Recordings of Two Piano Sonatas by Beethoven
If the thread's title means the above, mea culpa.
More than two sonatas are involved. Basic stuff.
