In general, these past several weeks I've been mixing up the listening list far too much to qualify to post to this thread.
Same here, in the recent past works tend to get played once, twice or perhaps three times before being usurped by something else in the active listening stack.
Goldberg Variations
Mahler 7
Rubbra 3
Well Tempered Klavier (Feinberg)
Berg Lyric Suite
Beethoven Piano Sonata in E
Mozart String Quintets
Winterreise
Crumb Cello Sonata
Salome

I've been doing that too; also disqualified from posting.

I haven't found a man yet who would tolerate such a playlist!

Very nice. Having a bit of a Koechlin jag, obviously. I only know
The Jungle Book. Must explore some of his other works.

Yes, his music is worth exploring and getting to know. A sadly neglected composer in my estimate.
Quote from: Philoctetes on June 05, 2011, 07:15:29 AM
Sadly neglected?
Sadly neglected by mainstream classical audiences and in the concert halls.
Quote from: Philoctetes on June 05, 2011, 08:00:34 AM
I would simply view that as neglected. The sadly neglected tend to be in my thread focused on contemporary classical. It's never a tragedy to ignore the dead.
Okay, then neglected then. Whatever you say. ::)
Quote from: Philoctetes on June 05, 2011, 08:13:47 AM
Words do matter. I would think you, of anyone, would appreciate that fact.
You're simply making mountains out of molehills.
I think that Schubert's Swan Song makes it to most played works, because I think that I'm just going to have to listen to it fir a third time! :D
Quote from: Philoctetes on June 05, 2011, 03:25:12 PM
You got that backwards.
I never go backwards, I always go forward.
Quote from: Philoctetes on June 05, 2011, 03:30:07 PM
Except seemingly when it comes to music. You seem to love dead people. That's definite regression, if I've ever seen any.
That's only partly true. I love the music of Lindberg, Salonen, Dutilleux, Reich, Part, Rautavaara, Adams, among others and they're not dead.
Quote from: Philoctetes on June 05, 2011, 04:04:44 PM
Admirable. Although, I did say seemingly. Plus, all of those composers listed seem relatively safe, but I'm a fan of anyone who listens and supports the living. So A+ to you. :-*
I wouldn't say Lindberg and Salonen have necessarily played it "safe." A work like
Kraft by Lindberg is just as sophisticated and complex as anything by Birtwistle or Harvey.
Will it sound too shallow if I put some works by old Beethoven in this list?

Of course not! It's your list, not mine.
Current Top 10 Most-Played Works (in no particular order):
1. Wagner: Das Rheingold (I've heard it twice so far)
2. Lindberg: Graffiti
3. Sibelius: Symphony No. 6
4. Berg: Lulu-Suite
5. Ravel: L'Enfant et les sortileges
6. Langgaard: Antikrist (I've already it twice since I bought it)
7. Nielsen: Rhapsody Overture - An Imaginary Journey to the Faroe Islands
8. Schoenberg: Variations for Orchestra
9. Debussy: Sonata for Flute, Viola, and Harp
10. Koechlin: Le buisson ardent
Looking at my listening log for June so far, I've listened to only seven works more than once:
1. Blumenfeld: Etude for the piano, left hand (3 times)
T2. Lutoslawski: Concerto for Orchestra;
Beethoven: Piano Sonata No 31;
Olsen: Asgaardsreien;
Chopin: Mazurka No 17 in B flat minor 24/4;
Beethoven: Symphony No 5;
Sibelius: Symphony No 3
(twice each)
That's really unusual parity for me. At least, I think I've been made fun of here in the past for my "enthusiastic" fixations with pieces. Now I can't even fill out a top 10! ;D

7. Nielsen: Rhapsody Overture - An Imaginary Journey to the Faroe Islands
What a cool piece that is, by the way. 8)
Quote from: Brian on June 21, 2011, 02:44:00 PMLutoslawski: Concerto for Orchestra
This is a cool piece too! I love it. :) Very much in debt to Bartok, but Lutoslawski did his own thing with it.

Yes, it hasn't been recorded much either. I think only twice: Chung (BIS) and Dausgaard (Dacapo).

Yup, a great work. :)
For me Bach's Cantata bwv 21, I've heard the whole thing twice (Leusink), the sinfonia four times (since I had to listen to the Koopman youtube link and the Herreweghe on youtube), and parts of it as well (Herreweghe on youtube) and I look forward to hearing the whole thing again when the Herreweghe cd arrives. :)
