For Joe:

Stravinsky
Greeting Prelude

[BachQ]

A truly astonishingly terrible album cover.

The moment I saw that cover, I ran out and bought several of those CD's ...........

[karlhenning]

Did, like, everyone who saw that cover immediately think, "Elgar"? 

[BachQ]

Bruckner, Symphony no. 1 (Jochum)
Mahler, Symphony no. 1 (Bernstein)

Playing Schubert's D.960

[orbital]

I've run into a Rachmaninov-heavy playlist these past few days, but I don't complain. This was one exciting Symphonic Dances, the finale in particular.

[jwinter]

Anyone who's habitually bored by Vivaldi should really check out these late concerti with Carmignola.  Beautiful playing, beautiful works, beautifully recorded... 

[Bonehelm]

Mahler: Symphony No.2 "Resurrection", Leonard Bernstein/NYPO
Bruckner: Symphony No. 8 "Apocalyptic", HvK/VPO

Today's listening is officially certified as 100% Elgar free.

Schumann - "Manfred" Overture, Symphonies 3 and 4 (Szell/Cleveland)

Finally taking this one from the "listen" pile and filing it accordingly with my other discs. I'd have to say that, after several listens, it's apparent that the Rhenish is the shining star of his symphonies — it's full of the intimate and almost aphoristic mini-emotions (I like to call them half-feelings) of his smaller pieces that seems to me very profound.

You know, Schumann was a great influence on a certain popular British composer whom the philistines of the board can't appreciate or (as I am willing to wager) haven't even heard and dismiss out of a desire to be like everyone else.

I guess some people never really get past Kindergarten, do they?

I should really hear this, since I love those two symphonies (don't know the overture that well) and love the participants.  But somehow over the years I've never gotten around to hearing this particular recording.

You, this? End is near.

...beautiful suits. Unlike Scott Ross on previous page Carmignola is seriously smart dresser.
