I enjoyed this today.

[SonicMan46]

Barber, Samuel - well decided to go off the Naxos box shown previously and listen to some of my alternate recordings shown below - Dave

     

[Carlo Gesualdo]

Some novelty match Gesualdo whit Hans Jurgen Gerund amd E.P that has lot's to offers for merely six song's, very nice , classica guitar and lute, Gesulado Renaissance top gunner meet a mysterious German composer to me at least, THis is interesting enought so that I can and wil recommend this. Also the brillant stuff on Naxos Peter Philips hagrpiscord work and his Sacred work ,, min blowen materials, very pleasant work, like it a lot. And will probably Purchase the Mighty Josquin Desprez on GRAINDELAVOIX ensemble seem and look genius from what I heard so far and the sleeve awesome.

Now the bassoon sonata from this set:



A quirky but lovable piece. The rising-and-falling ostinato in the second movement (which persists throughout) is both haunting and lovely, and the finale is full of wit and charm.

SSymphony No. 2 in C minor

This is Järvi in his element! Ultra-hedonistic and impassionate rendition in spectacular sound. The 3rd movement has to be counted among the most beautiful, epic and striking in the Russian side of the world. Loved this!




Suk: Fantastic Scherzo

A wonder. A big jewel of an orchestral and tuneful creation!

Both very nice!

[Symphonic Addict]

I enjoyed this today.

A clever coupling. The Foulds "is certainly dynamic", right, Jeffrey? 

[Symphonic Addict]

Both very nice!

I've had Scriabin's symphonies out of my radar for some while and getting reacquainted with them again has proved to be fruitful. Impressive stuff.

Suk has been served on disc and he's fairly well-known rather well. This Scherzo fantastique is a complete delight from beginning to end.

[Symphonic Addict]

Barber: Piano Sonata in E flat minor

Just fabulous. The kind of music that opens better when you have listened to an important quantity of works before in order to assimilate it more efficiently and that you enjoy it more. A nice plus is the key of E flat minor, my very favorite in music. Superb!

[TheGSMoeller]

Concert Champetre from...

[JBS]

First listen to this recording

Never thought of Dover Beach as a quintet, but it fits well with the rest.

Now playing this entire recording:



I love all the works on this recording except for Christian Zeal and Activity. I just never could get into it.

NP:

Pettersson
Symphony No. 7
Stockholm PO
Dorati



This is the world premiere recording of Pettersson's most famous symphony, his 7th. It's interesting to compare this performance with say the Segerstam on BIS. The phrasing and just general way with the music is quite different, but both are valid views of the symphony.

Never thought of Dover Beach as a quintet, but it fits well with the rest.

That's because it's a song and not a quintet.

[Klavier]

No.101 and 102 tonight.

[Karl Henning]

Listened to it all.  In it I hear a kind of crestfallen disappointment and the pain of confinement.  And sheer loneliness.  But there are some moments of hope.  Overall it actually made ME feel quite lonely in the atmosphere created by that solitary Clarinet. Flashes of thought, and even perhaps anger are apparent?  This is definitely a Thinking Mans piece!

Many thanks!

[Karl Henning]

Atmospheric, and lonely, music. Sounds excellent!

Thank you, indeed!

George Phillipp Telemann.

The Grand Concertos, for Mixed instruments Volume V.

La Stagione Frankfurt, Michael Schneider.

Grand Concertos indeed. I am still amazed what a fine composer he was. I am impressed with the music and its construction. A most important figure in shaping the musical landscape. Schneider delivers magnificent performances in very good sound.

Morning listening:

Good morning Que.

A fine recording of which I have good memories.

Joachim Raff.

Symphony No. 5, Lenore.
Abends, Rhapsody.
Overtures.

Orchestre de la Suisse Romande, Neeme Jarvi.

Despite all the negative things I read on this forum about Raff, I still adhere to my opinion, that Raff is a fine composer, and this performance shows him in the best possible light. The SACD recording captures every detail.
