Very good. You can't go wrong with Weinberg, and Svedlund is a better director than Chmura who conducts on the first three Weinberg discs in the Chandos series.

Thanks, I don't think I own any Weinberg at all. I'll probably pickup all of Svedlund's recordings then.

I have a soft spot for Gernsheim and have greatly enjoyed that Toccata disc through the Naxos Music Library. I should acquire the cd and gain the advantage of better sound.

Good way to go. Another Weinberg disc I love is his Violin Concerto on Naxos that is coupled with the Myaskovsky Violin Concerto.

There's a great Svedlund CD of short concertante works - flute and cello, I think.
The Cello Concerto is unmissable but only on Brilliant Classics (Rostropovich box).

Yes, I've seen this disc. I've heard the Myaskovsky VC before as it was on a recording I bought with Tchaikovsky's VC w/ Repin/Gergiev. Thanks for the recommendation.

Although Repin is a fine performer, I prefer Grubert on Naxos. He's not as sweet as Repin and uses less vibrato; there were times when Repin's vibrato was quite irritating.

Hmmm...sounds like this disc is a winner, then. By the way, I already bought it. :D
Schoenfield : Concerto for Viola & Orchestra; Four Motets; The Merchant and the Pauper (Excerpts from Act 2); Various Artists - NAXOS
Prokofiev: Egyptian Nights; Hamlet - Russian State Symphony Orchestra/Valery Polyansky - CHANDOS
Bach: Goldberg Variations - Leopold String Trio - HYPERION
Haydn: Symphonies Nos. 6-8 - Hanover Band/Roy Goodman - HELIOS
Machaut: Remede de Fortune - Ensemble Project Ars Nova - NEW ALBION RECORDS
Shostakovich: Cello Concertos 1 & 2 - Kyrill Rodin(soloist) Philharmonic Orchestra/Konstantin Krimets - ARTE NOVA CLASSICS

Elgar: Wand of Youth Suites; Nursery Suite - Ulster Orchestra/Thomson - CHANDOS
Morales: Requiem, Music for Philip II - Gabrielli Consort/Paul McCreesh - ARCHIV PRODUCTIONS
Lang: Pierced; Cheating, Lying, Stealing; How to Pray - Various Artists - NAXOS
These are all the works - not recordings but works - I've heard multiple times in September:
4 times:
Beethoven: String Quartet No 11, Op 95 "Serioso." Vermeer (2), Endellion, Artemis Quartets (1 each)
3 times:
Atterberg: Symphony No 6. NDR Radio Philharmonic; Ari Rasilainen
Roussel: Le marchand de sable qui passe. Royal Scottish National Orchestra; Stephane Deneve
Ravel: Concerto for the Left Hand. Jean-Efflam Bavouzet, piano; BBC SO, Yan-Pascal Tortelier (2); Claire Chevallier, piano; Anima Eterna, Immerseel (1)
Twice:
Adios Nonino (Astor Piazzolla album). Astoria
Pierné: L'an mil. Choeur Nicolas de Grigny, Lorraine National Orchestra; Jacques Mercier
Rode: Violin Concerto No 6. Friedemann Eichhorn, violin; Jena PO, Nicolas Pasquet [for MusicWeb review]
The truth is that right now I'm in one of those grooves where I go long stretches without duplicating listens. Closest I get is listening to something I heard a couple months ago...
-
The 2011 leader is the complete Beethoven string quartets by the Vermeer quartet: 37 listens from that box set. Also 25 listens to Deneve conducting Roussel, 22 listens to Boulez conducting Ravel, and 22 listens to the Timpani CD series of composer Jean Cras.

Ravel: Concerto for the Left Hand. Jean-Efflam Bavouzet, piano; BBC SO, Yan-Pascal Tortelier
8) Excellent choice there, Brian. This is quite possibly the best performance I've heard of Ravel's
Concerto for the left-hand and I've heard almost all of them.
Mine would be, not in a particular order:
Wagner: Der Ring des Nibelungen, Karajan, Berlin Phil
Mahler: Symphony No.6, Bernstein, Wiener Phil
Mahler: Symphony No.1, Bernstein, Concertgebouw Orchestra
Nielsen: Symphonies, Blomstedt, SFSO/Bernstein NY Phil

Glad someone else likes them! I adore that band. Far and away my favourite renditions of medieval music.
Lancaster and Valois and
The Study of Love could as easily have made the list.

Quote from: ChamberNut on October 27, 2011, 09:41:43 AM
Huh? ??? Not even one Goldberg Variations recording? :D
I don't know why I've got this reputation of always playing the Goldbergs. Actually, I've been playing the WTC much more than the Goldbergs in the past couple of years. Wait, they're not on my list either. Guess I'm moving on.
1. Sorabji Etudes 44-62/Ullén. Not the easiest kind of music, but quite attractive, and I really try to know these works. Seriously,
I don´t see why these 100 Etudes shouldn´t eventually become a part of the piano canon like Liszt´s Transcendental Etudes.
The recorded sound is good, and so is his playing, although you now and then perhaps feel that a few "rhetorical" points could be made,
but this is a pioneering project, no doubt of immense difficulty, and there is no performance tradition yet.
2. Bartok Piano Concerto no.2 - Farnadi/Scherchen and Richter/Svetlanov. Both very interesting, to my ears. Richter has to get
started, it seems, but then it works ...
3. Felix Glonti: Symphonic Meditations on a Theme by Petrarca, for cello and orchestra. I just like this obscure, dark piece.
Downloadable from the website dedicated to the composer, in poor sound quality.
4. Beethoven piano sonatas, in various recordings (Yudina, Levy, Richter, a newly bought Rubinstein LP with the 23rd, and others.)
5. Scriabin Sonatas 5-10 /Ashkenazy. Always nice.
6. Scherchen: String Quartet. Haven´t got to know it much, but better and less clinically dry than expected, rather Beethovenian.
On the waiting list: Mozart Symphonies, various recordings.
that´s about it, concerning the latest days ...
My updated Top 10 :)
1. Wagner: Der Ring des Nibelungen - Karajan/Berlin Phil
2. Mahler: Symphony No.8 - Bernstein/Vienna Phil
3. Mahler: Symphony No.6 - Bernstein/Vienna Phil
4. Respighi: Pines of Rome - Karajan/Berlin Phil
5. Shostakovich: Symphony No.12 - Petrenko/RLPO
6. Strauss: Don Quixote - Karajan/Berlin Phil
7. Liszt: Les Preludes - Barenboim/Chicago Symphony Orchestra
8. Stravinsky: The Rite of Spring - Abbado/LSO
9. Koechlin: Le buisson ardent - Heinz Holliger/Radio-Sinfonieorchester Stuttgart
10. Sibelius: Violin Concerto - Hilary Hahn/Salonen/Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra

Don't worry Don, it's probably just me reading into things too much. :) I just know the Goldberg Var. are one of your favorite works, and I did not realize you had been playing the WTC more than the Goldbergs.
I seem to have forgotten to make November's list....
Oh well, on with December! :D
Novak: Lady Godiva, De Profundis, Toman and the Wood Nymph (BBCPO/Pesek on Chandos)

Casella: Symphony no.3 (WDR Sinfonieorchester Köln/Francis on CPO)
Tchaikovsky: The Nutcracker (BPO/Rattle on EMI)
Respighi: Belkis, Metamorphosen (Philharmonia/Simon)
This is a tricky one, because I haven't been counting... but the top 10 would look something like this:
Monteverdi: Vespers 1610 (McCreesh)
Handel: Messiah (McCreesh)
Monteverdi: Book of Madrigals VIII (Leppard)
Haydn: Stabat Mater (Heltay)
Schubert: Trout Quintet (Hagen/ Schiff)
Schubert: String Quintet (Lindsays)
Haydn: Piano Trios (Beaux Arts)
Brahms: Piano Quartets (Beaux Arts)

make of that what you will... 8)
