#morninglistening to @chopininstitute disc of the "other" #Hamelin:http://a-fwd.to/4DdzDu8 ... http://ift.tt/2nwY7hW

Not quite. Alphabetically it should be filed under letter "R". The last name is (confusingly) Richard-Hamelin. A bit like Vaughan-Williams or Lloyd-Jones.

[Todd]

Brahms 2 & 3.  Proper Brahms conducting.

[Kontrapunctus]

[aligreto]

Atterberg: Adagio amoroso for violin & strings [Wallin]....





This is a short but wonderful, poignant piece of writing.

Via Qobuz:

Hello Aligreto - I do like to read reviews, but must say that if I ranked the ones enjoyed the most (i.e. those that seem to agree w/ me the most - ), Gramophone is close to the bottom - here's another of much better review from AllMusic - since I just own only the Wentz disc of the Quadri, believe that I'll add the Freiberger CD of these performances to my cart - thanks for the help.  Dave

Cheers Dave. I hope that you do not think that I was being too pushy. I simply believe that the Freiburger CD is definitely worth exploring if one is interested in that music 

[aligreto]

Great

Talking of Beecham.....I'm listening to this now!

Absolutely right, of course, but that'll never stick. :-)

Son? nephew?

Son? nephew?

Not related in any way. He assures me.  His mother, too.

He was my favorite at the 2016 Chopin Competition... but I only heard the finals and he was the only one not to play the F-minor so that made him very popular right there.

[SymphonicAddict]

That Atterberg cycle was only a relatively recent purchase for me and I had not heard anything of his work before. So, I have not "lived" with this music for long yet. At these initial stages I have tended to gravitate more towards the earlier symphonies, 1 to 3. I felt that his musical language started to change with Symphony No. 5, not that that is a bad thing, just that it will take some re-listening to wrap my ear around it. So preferences will most likely change in the future 

Maybe those are the best ones, especially the 3rd: really spectacular!!

Both these posts, really 

[André]

Son? nephew?

It's a composed name, meaning the first part is after his mother, the second after his dad (that's the usual order but it could be vice-versa). In Quebec, if Mrs is named Richard and Mr is named Hamelin, they can name their children in 4 different ways: Richard, Hamelin, Richard-Hamelin or Hamelin-Richard. Furthermore, Mrs Richard can never be called Mrs Hamelin (since 1981 it's mandatory for married women to go by their maiden name).

That composed name business can become quite confusing when they have children...
