[Todd]

The Brahms at ear-splitting volume.  Revisiting the awesomeness.

[Symphonic Addict]

Walton: Belshazzar's Feast

This classic is unbeatable!

[Dry Brett Kavanaugh]

Whereas the music flows beautifully throughout and is very atmospheric, it also tends to be too much contemplative most of the time for my taste. Not my favorite Franck I fear. 

Not a big fan of the disc, but I like the Massenet and Dukas recordings by Lean-Luc Tingaud.

Gearing up for Christmas with this pretty recording.

[Harry]

Goedemorgen Que.

Looks like a nice disc. Got all the Christmas CD's on the table also in the knowledge that I cannot play them all, but we might give them a try, right?

I know! They are too many to play them all, but that's why I'm starting early. 

Also on Spotify:



Vincente Lusitano was Portuguese priest-composer of mixed Portuguese-African descent.
I wasn't familiar with his music, which is rarely recorded. Definitely a significant discovery. The Marian Consort does make an effort not to sound too English and the result is quite convincing.

Johann Sebastian Bach.
Christmas Oratorio.
CD 1&2.
Bach Collegium Japan, Masaaki Suzuki.
Monika Frimmer, Yoshikazu Mera, Gerd Turk, Peter Kooij.

Starting early with Christmas music, and so being able to play more CD"s in my collection which is extensive. This Christmas Oratorio is one of my absolute favourites. superb performance and sound.

[Operafreak]

Chopin: Études, Op. 25 & 4 Scherzi-Beatrice Rana (piano)

[Spotted Horses]

Janacek Piano Music, On an Overgrown Path, Sonata 1 X 1905, Thomas Ades



I find the sonata more engaging than On an Overgrown Path. Ades gives a compelling performance.

[Traverso]

Camino de Santiago 1 & 2

[Lisztianwagner]

Karol Szymanowski
Mazurkas Op. 50

[Traverso]

Dvořák

String Quartet in G Major,Op.106

[Harry]

Christmas Music from the old Hungary.
Clemencic Consort, Rene Clemencic.

Really a lot of fun, and a superb recording and surprising music.

[VonStupp]

Richard Wetz
Weihnachtsoratorium, op. 53

Marietta Zumbült, soprano
Máté Sólyom-Nagy, baritone

Dombergchor Efurt
Philharmonischer Chor Efurt
Thüringisches Kammerorchester Weimar
George Alexander Albrecht

For today:
I remember some praises a short while back for Wetz's music, so I figured I might as well try out his Christmas Oratorio.

[Harry]

Georg Philipp Telemann.
Cantatas de noel.
Hosianna! Dieses soll die losung sein.
O, Jesu Christ, dein kriplein ist.
Uns ist ein kind geboren.
Maria Zadori, Judit Nemeth, Gabor Kallay, Klaus Mertens.
Capella Savaria, Pal Nemeth.

Also a favourite Christmas CD of us, primarily because we are great fans of Maria Zadori, one of the best sopranos that ever graced our earth.
