Morning listening:

[Papy Oli]

Good morning all,

Fauré - cello sonatas and string quartet.

From the Brilliant chamber music box.

[Tsaraslondon]

Carlos Kleiber's classic recordings of Beethoven's 5th and 7th Symphonies, recorded in 1974 and 1976 still sound superb today.

[Mandryka]

What's your opinion about the recording and performance?

Shows off the organ well. I'd say the performances tend to lean on the  lively, colourful and exciting side. In Ich ruf zu dir . . . he embellishes some of the variations (if that's what they are . . . you know what I mean!) with agogic hesitations, at the expense of a certain fluidity.

[Papy Oli]

Oh, that's a very good disc ! Intelligently planned and executed program.

Indeed André. Some of the "side" pieces pack quite an emotional punch as well.

Miaskovsky: Divertissement [Svetlanov] Op. 80





What a very different work this is with its air of lightness and gaiety. One would hardly recognize his signature with the scoring for such small forces. I do not know what the context of the work is but it certainly sounds very different. The slow movement is a thing of beauty and has more of Miaskovsky's fingerprints over it, even if they are a bit smudged. Those fingerprints are even a little clearer if a little light in the final movement. This is an interesting and intriguing work.

[steve ridgway]

Back to Darmstadt. Bruno Maderna - Musica Su Due Dimensioni Per Flauto E Registrazione Stereofonica (2. Fassung).

[aligreto]

Walton: Cello Concerto.



Out of the three concertos for stringed instruments I find this the most intense, in Piatigorsky's recording anyway.

I have that recording also but, unfortunately, it is "only" on CD 

[Dry Brett Kavanaugh]

Shows off the organ well. I'd say the performances tend to lean on the  lively, colourful and exciting side. In Ich ruf zu dir . . . he embellishes some of the variations (if that's what they are . . . you know what I mean!) with agogic hesitations, at the expense of a certain fluidity.

Sounds interesting. I will get the disc. Thank you.
