What are you listening 2 now?

[vers la flamme]

Well I'm not making it through Stimmung this time.



John Cage: Credo in US. Giancarlo Simonacci, Ars Ludi

First listen in a long time. Such a cool piece for percussion ensemble and radios.

[Dry Brett Kavanaugh]

Ernest Bloch: America - An Epic Rhapsody. Léopold Stokowski/The Symphony of the Air.

[Symphonic Addict]

Françaix: Trio for clarinet, viola and piano

Such a fun and witty work. The composer in his element. Some works by this him do manage to disappoint, but this trio certainly doesn't.

[Symphonic Addict]

Turina: Piano Trio in F major

[kyjo]

Turina: Piano Trio in F major

Beautiful work! All of Turina's chamber music (3 piano trios, one each piano quartet and quintet, etc.) is of a uniformly high quality.

I think my favorite Bernstein work is Symphony #2. But I've only heard the first once (live!), although I especially enjoyed the scherzo (which I have heard in a band version since then). I'll look forward to listening to the 1st again!

The 2nd is one that I've come increasingly to appreciate in recent years. I haven't got my head around No.3 'Kaddish' yet.

Edmund Rubbra: Symphony No.6 (Cheltenham Festival 1956 recording)
The 'Canto' is especially deeply felt here - reminding me of Shostakovich briefly.

[Harry]

No listening today, we await a huge storm in the Netherlands and especially the part where I am living. Wind speeds up to 120 KM, fall winds, going into tornado like surges. So we expect disaster. Keep my fingers crossed!

[vandermolen]

Dude!  When Mrs. Cato was my girlfriend (of course, she still is  😇  ), we once had a date where we listened to Schoenberg's Verklaerte Nacht, and I summarized what was happening in the poem, as the music progressed.

Give that a try! 

I should mention that the date consisted of more than Schoenberg, which, I know, is hard to believe, but Mrs. Cato is eclectic.

When my wife was my girlfriend I played her the Lyrita LP featuring John Foulds's 'Dynamic Triptych'. All I remember her saying (sarcastically) was 'Well, it certainly is dynamic'. Nothing has changed really. 

[vandermolen]

Rubbra's 5th Symphony - arguably the greatest of the cycle (although 4 and 7 are other possibilities IMO). This recording (on an HMV LP taken out of my local Record Library  in London) was my introduction to Rubbra's music.

[Traverso]

Bal-Kan

CD 2

No listening today, we await a huge storm in the Netherlands and especially the part where I am living. Wind speeds up to 120 KM, fall winds, going into tornado like surges. So we expect disaster. Keep my fingers crossed!

Keep safe my friend!

Shostakovich: Symphony No.12 'The Year 1917'

[Que]

Morning listening on Spotify:

Fingers crossed that you don't have much damage this time around!

You wouldn't like the prominent countertenor on this recording BTW....

Morning listening on Spotify:

Hard to find this CD.it is a very fine one.

Hard to find this CD.it is a very fine one.

It is indeed pretty elusive, I do check from  time to time...
But at least now I can hear it! Do you have their recording of the Missa Ave Maris Stella as well?
