The Art of the Baroque Trumpet Vol. 2





Noteworthy and wonderful works by Viviani, Fantini and Frescobaldi. These are very engaging, beguiling and appealing works.

First listen to Louis Spohr.

Clarinet concerto No.1

Gustav Mahler: Symphony No.5 in C-sharp minor. Rudolf Barshai, Junge Deutsche Philharmonie.

Enjoying this famous recording from the Russian maestro with a German student orchestra that plays so good, you'd never know they were high school and college/conservatory students. Barshai gives an intense but proportioned reading. I'm only on the second movement so we'll see how he handles the latter part of the music where the mood changes quite a bit.

Carrying on with Mahler 3, Maazel WP   Really enjoying these, will post some comments over on the Mahler thread at some point...

Albinoni: Concertos, Op. 9 Nos. 1-3 [Concerto Armonico]





I really like the concertos for oboe.

Vivaldi has become one of my standards for music-while-working-from-home.



I've made myself a rule of 1 Hyperion sacred music album (I own the box) after every 5 Naive Vivaldi Edition albums streamed. Not least because it's too long since I've listened to the Hyperion ones properly. They're definitely a little cooler in temperament than the typically Italian forces on Naive, but there are many fine things.

Vivaldi is one of the best composers ever and the sacred music is his best kept secret. I have that Hyperion box but never listened to it, I am currently half-way through the Vittorio Negri / Philips box.



Joyous, uplifting, life-affirming, splendid in every respect.

My personal revelation in these months has been Haydn, specifically the piano sonatas and piano trios, probably the finest such sets ever written.

Really off the beaten track, and certainly not my core repertoire, but Sylvio Lazzari's cahmber music does deserve the occasional outing...

Piano Trio in G minor, op. 13 and Violin Sonata in E major, op. 24.

Looks right up my alley.

Good day, Sir!

What do you think?

NP: Hans Abrahamsen's horn concerto on Digital Concert Hall. Not that impressed at first listen--and I wasn't with the left-hand piano concerto either--but I suppose it's hard to ask for music as good as the absolutely amazing Schnee.

Haydn - Trumpet concerto

Debussy: Nocturnes [Monteux]





All three are wonderful performances but Sirenes was a particularly appealing presentation for me.

+1 in all respects for everything that you have said.

I have the original individual releases of those Negri CDs and I have always liked them.

Both on my to-do list. I have 2 CDs of late piano trios but that's all.

Of course with Haydn the to-do list is utterly vast. And thoroughly worthwhile.

Good day, Sir!

Indeed, I'm certain you'd like this. Curious chap, this Lazzari. Austro-Hungarian (from the Südtirol), but settled in Paris and became a French citizen in 1894 IIRC. For some strange reason, several of his operas have a Breton setting (I have a recording of La Tour de Feu, but don't recall anything about it--high time I revisit it). His life during WW1 can't have been easy (à la Busoni)

Good evening, Andrei.

The best conducting I have ever seen in all my life, from Dudamel.
