Tippett: String Quartet No. 4 [Lindsay String Quartet]





The musical language is harsh and cold but intense and not sterile and it is a compelling work nonetheless.

[Florestan]

Mozart

Sonatas for piano and violin K.303,K377,K.303and K.526

Beautifully played,no surprise.

My favorite set.

[Zeus]

Balkan Blood and Honey
Jordi Savall et al.
Alia Vox

I suppose we could consider Romania part of the Balkans?  Maybe, maybe not.

[Traverso]

So what is this CD like? I'd be interested to know.

[Karl Henning]

Bruckner: Symphony No. 9
Marek Janowski, L'Orchestre de la Suisse Romande
Pentatone



I don't much like Bruckner, but it can't be helped.  This is the most neglected disc in my collection, so it was due for another spin.

I'll survive – all 62 minutes of it. 

Actually, it's not bad. Maybe even pretty good.  Who knows – maybe I'll become a raving fan before the disc ends!

The Ninth could make you a fan. It did, me.

first spin ... lovely disc - guess I need to have a closer look at the label's catalogue some day (I have plenty, but not enough, I feel  )

Beethoven: Moonlight Sonata [Backhaus]

[Jamie]

I too gave the Bruckner 9th a run yesterday, this version...

enjoying it is a step forward but I feel I am still not quite getting it.
Then this...

Instant pleasure.
And now this...

From the beginning, and in my current mood this is perfect.
