Gritty lute playing. very close mic job. You really get all the twang and thump. Probably not the best for those who like a prettier style. For me, it's ideal

Janacek, Sonata 1.X.1905, Jan Bartos.



Compared with the white-hot intensity of Thomas Ades, Bartos is more lyrical, reflective.

Johann Sebastian Bach Christmas Oratorio 3cds

[Mandryka]

Revisiting perhaps the most micromanaged Scriabin ever recorded.  So beautiful.

Yes the Chopin mazurkas are a bit like that.. I'll try her Scriabin later this evening maybe. For me the uniform and pure sound world of her piano isn't interesting enough to keep me engaged -  and the interpretations, though imaginative, become slightly annoying rapidly - predictable, heavy, lifeless and un-fresh (stale could be the word.) Maybe it works better in other composers.

[Symphonic Addict]

Indeed, I listened to this symphony recently as well and really enjoyed it - I hadn't remembered how good it is! The combination of piano soloist, chorus, and orchestra is quite inspiriting and compelling.

Totally agreed, Kyle. It's a shame that Langgaard lost the interest to be more radical and experimental in his career as a composer.
