Jean Marie Leclair.

Fresh on the market. I consider this a very good release.

Same for Bax, I think (not needing to work).

Yes, you are right Lol.

I wouldn't call it minor aristocracy. He was related to the Darwins (of Origin of Species fame) and to the Wedgwoods (of porcelain fame), so was certainly well-heeled, but his father was a mere vicar and though his grand-parents were judges with knighthoods, that doesn't rise to the level of aristocracy. Gentry, maybe. Aristos, not so much. But I quibble...

You are right he never really needed to work for a living (though he did take on an organist's job at one point). He never needed to sign up for service in WW1, either, as his age took outside the conscription net. But he signed up regardless, to serve. A great and generous spirit.

Anyway:

Sergei Prokofiev's
Suite from 'The Gambler'

Dima Slobodeniouk, Lahti Symphony Orchestra

I once saw his family described as being from the 'minor aristocracy' but I take your point. The composer described himself as being 'born with a small silver spoon' in his mouth. Yes, he taught at the RCM and stood in for Holst at St Paul's Girls' School when his friend was ill (I wonder if he had to do lunch duties etc  )

Kurt Atterberg: Symphony No.1 in B minor, op.3. Ari Rasilainen, Radio-Sinfonie-Orchester Frankfurt

Inspired by a random Amazon commenter who said something along the lines of "if you like Pettersson, try Atterberg!" I can't say I see much of a connection just yet beyond, obviously, the mutual Swedishness of the two, but it sounds fine so far. I know there are people here who really love this composer. I like what I've heard which is not much; I ordered this CD early in the summertime and haven't heard any of it yet.

That comment strikes me as bizarre. I love Atterberg, but find Pettersson mostly insufferable. I remember the first concerto for strings as the one piece by Pettersson that resonated with me.

That was the first Beethoven Sonata cycle I listened through, and I like it. When Barenboim was a brash young musician.
