The DHM is the first recording 1964-1971)
Your recording is from 1987



Your opinion is also mine, these harpsichord pieces loose their freshness,  the piano is gluing to much the notes together,it is easier for the ear and for that reasen preferred by many.  (I think)  .

In my personal opinion, though I haven't compared them, the first/DHM recording of Partitas sounds lively and animated.

Vivaldi: Canta in prato, ride in monte, RV 623 [Mallon]






This presentation has a wonderfully light touch. The pacing is also excellent. The soprano Bessette produces a very fine delivery. The performance is filled with great charm and poise.

[Karl Henning]

Synchronicity!
Although I hope the sound on yours is better. I can't tell if it's mono or stereo that might as well be mono.


Since the Delius and Sibelius were recorded at a different concert and location (Bergen), maybe it will improve, but I'm still on the last movement of the Bruckner.

The sound on the RCO Live recordings is pristine!

Paul Creston: Invocation & Dance, Op. 58.

2.  Martinon more than either Kosler or Jarvi delivers an almost musically satisfying rendition of this work.

Martinu: Chamber Music [Dartington Ensemble] - Madrigal Sonata





What a terrific work. It is filled with energy, joy, excitement and a wonderful sound world!

Disclosure/apology: Back when I first bought this disc (at the Borders then on Washington & School Streets) I wrote a review on Amazon with a snarky comment dismissive of the Barber. It was puerile, idiotic and jerky of me.

[JBS]

I think it's possible to edit (or at least add to) Amazon reviews even after a long time.

Anton Bruckner: Symphony No.1 in C minor, WAB 101. Wolfgang Sawallisch, Bayerisches Staatsorchester

Wonderful recording of a woefully under-appreciated symphony.

For the master's 160th birthday:







Claude Debussy: Prélude à l'après-midi d'un faune, Nocturnes. Bernard Haitink, Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra. Préludes, Book 1. Claudio Arrau. Images, Book 1. Philippe Entremont

I haven't spent much time with Debussy in this past year. Great getting back to all this stuff.

Music for 6 by Felix, Music for 4 and for 3 by Fanny


I don't think I've ever heard the Sextet; I know I've never heard the two works by Fanny.

Bach: Goldberg Variations- Hannes Minnaar (piano)

I don't think I've ever heard the Sextet; I know I've never heard the two works by Fanny.

I need to sample the Fanny works - the Felix Sextet is really remarkable for its shock turn from major to minor key.

I know nothing of Monteverdi and sampled a bit of this. It sounds suspiciously fun! Maybe significantly altered or improvised from the original?
