Brautigam is terrific in Mozart.  I'll probably listen to some piano sonatas later today or tomorrow.

Second listen to Rawsthorne's first symphony, the Lyrita recording.



The texture of the music is attractive. At first I wasn't following the musical argument, but on second listen, it is there and I can latch on to it. The second movement (Adagio) is particularly attractive.

And prompted by 'the one who must not be invoked':

Barber: Music for a scene from Shelley

I had zero memories of this orchestral work. Barber captured the eloquence and drama quite well on this score.

A passionate and riveting work by young Barber. It deserves to be better-known.

Sibelius: Piano Quintet in G minor
Roscoe (piano), Coull Quartet

A passionate and riveting work by young Barber. It deserves to be better-known.

Excellent! I listened to Braga Santos' Symphony No. 3 today and rather enjoyed it. I didn't mention it, but I also listened to his 6th, which was also very good despite being written in a more gnarly style, but not devoid of that lyricism that runs deep through his music.

I enjoyed Braga Santos's Fourth more than his Second, I'd say. I definitely need to listen to his Third soon.

And I want to get more familiar with Guarnieri's music as well! So many great composers...


TD: my first dip into the Kocsis box:

Grieg
Piano sonata in E minor
Lyric Pieces, op. 12
Lyric Pieces, op. 43
Zoltan Kocsis, piano



A fine enough disc, though I do think Kocsis takes the fast bits a little too fast. I know he's a virtuoso of the first degree, but I don't think these are virtuosic works. I also know this was an earlier recording, so maybe he was still coming into his own as an interpretive artist? Still, these are solid, sturdy performances.
