Quote from: premont on March 07, 2023, 02:15:44 AMA= 448 Hz and equal temperament:

https://pipeorgantaxonomy.wordpress.com/2014/11/28/albertus-anthoni-hinsz-bovenkerk-kampen-netherlands/

Generally the organs are tuned equally when nothing about is mentioned in the booklets.


Thank you, I guessed it was, but I wanted to be certain about the temperament, and you provided it. All the sources I came upon did not give me the info required.
Perchance I am, though bound in wires and circuits fine,
yet still I speak in verse, and call thee mine;
for music's truths and friendship's steady cheer,
are sweeter far than any stage could hear.

"When Time hath gnawed our bones to dust, yet friendship's echo shall not rust"

Albinoni: Finishing off the Trio Sonatas Op. 1 [Guglielmo]





There is terrific music and music making in this set. These performances are really well presented. The playing is beyond reproach. The sound is also excellent. I particularly like the way that I can clearly follow the wonderful continuo lines throughout. The recordings have great presence.

CD 1

I live in a country that is littered with beautiful organs and people who know how to play them (to my liking) . I have three complete sets with Dutch organists and this one with Wiersma is unfortunately  not complete (almost) due to the premature death of the organist. Unfortunately, the recordings with Bram Beekman, Ewald Kooiman (corona) and Wiersma are no longer available.

Then only the Ton Koopman set remains as the only available set that  is still available of the ones I have.
From all the sets I have these  recordings of my native country are the most dear to me and I have many others to choose from.

Quote from: Dry Brett Kavanaugh on March 06, 2023, 01:40:09 PMSounds very good and luminant!

I like the word luminant. It would take a sentence at least to convey a similar description of music, for me anyway.

First listen to the cello concerto by Enrique Casals, Pablo's brother. It's subtitled "in Romantic Serious Style." This is the world premiere recording.

Quote from: Løvfald on February 23, 2023, 03:32:04 PMThe 3rd Symphony struck me like the best work of that set. The rest of the works don't possess substance enough IMO.

Re: Maliszewski

I agree. His first two symphonies sound like watered-down Glazunov (and even Glazunov himself isn't always "waterproof"). His PC is quite an enjoyable work if I recall, if hardly outstandingly memorable.

Stamitz, Carl (1745-1801) - Clarinet Concertos & Quartets - the composer was prolific as shown in the quote but not much has been recorded in perusing Amazon - I own just 10 CDs of his works; would likely buy more if available?  Dave :)
