What are you listening to now?

[Todd]

Op 31.

[Ken B]

The other day Mirror Image accused me of not being a big fan of the Late Romantic.

Well you might be innocent but I am GUILTY. GUILTY and proud of it!

TD Beethoven, sonatas 16-18, Bilson

[Mirror Image]

Now playing this new acquisition:



Listening to A London Symphony (Symphony No. 2). It's too early to give a definite opinion, but the introduction is gorgeously rendered under Manze.

[ComposerOfAvantGarde]

More Late Romantic

[Wakefield]

Yes, even if the continuos emergence of all kind of Brandenburg concerto recordings make status difficult to access (much time is needed), it is still my favorite along with the Linde Consort.

Yes, those two are my favorite versions, too.

I also like Suzuki, a version which I have listened to a lot of times this year.

Probably too well mannered and civilized for some people.

How late does it have to be, for it to be Late Romantic?

Barber, Violin Concerto

How late does it have to be, for it to be Late Romantic?

That's an excellent question. Is Barber a late-Romantic or one those Neo-Romantics?

[Mirror Image]

Now playing this new acquisition:

Listening to Symphony No. 8 in D minor. A London Symphony was well-performed and so far so is the 8th, but I wouldn't say either of these surpasses any of my favorites namely Thomson, Boult, or Previn.

[Madiel]

1st "Razumovsky' quartet, op.59/1

[asin]B000063WRQ[/asin]

[SimonNZ]

Luis de Briceño "El Fenix de Paris" - Le Poème Harmonique

[Mahlerian]

That's an excellent question. Is Barber a late-Romantic or one those Neo-Romantics?

His music isn't strictly common practice, so I'd say Neo-Romantic or Modern (in the wide sense).

[Dancing Divertimentian]

Strauss, Honeck/Pittsburgh.



[asin]B00FB7MPWI[/asin]

[ComposerOfAvantGarde]

Andrew Davis conducts 'Elgar does Strauss' aka Falstaff

[Madiel]

His music isn't strictly common practice, so I'd say Neo-Romantic or Modern (in the wide sense).

Is "strict common practice" the terminology you're accepting now?

[NikF]

Dutilleux: Symphony No. 1 - Järvi/Orchestre de Paris.

I'm not going to answer for Mahlerian, but, for what it's worth, I find that he deviates from Common Practice here and there. Have you noticed this?

The other day Mirror Image accused me of not being a big fan of the Late Romantic. So now it is time for me to prove him wrong by listening to some of my favourite composers from this wonderful style.
