What are you listening 2 now?

[SonicMan46]

Mozart, WA - Piano Concertos w/ Ronald Brautigam on fortepiano (Paul McNulty 2007, after Johann Andreas Stein 1788); new arrival and just starting from the beginning - the box contains 12 discs in paper sleeves plus the original booklets from each release (for those concerned w/ storage space, the width of the box is only 1 5/8") - purchased for $72 USD (about 25% off on a BIS sale) from Presto Music.  Listening on headphones and enjoying the excellent up-front integration of Brautigam's instrument w/ the band - Dave

P.S. on the second disc which includes the first 'real' Wolfie PCs, K. 175 & K. 235, a McNulty FP is used after Anton Walter, c. 1792

That's a very fine set. Enjoy! 😎

Old-fashioned and relatively grand.  Very nice playing.  The Salve Regina is especially good.

Francesco Maria Veracini - Overtures Vol. 1
Accademia I Filarmonici
Alberto Martini

[Mapman]

For Mahler's birthday: Symphony #7
Gielen: SWR

An excellent performance. As in his other Mahler recordings, it sounds like Gielen gets the exact tone color he wants for every note. This makes the Scherzo (Schattenhaft) especially successful.

[Lisztianwagner]

Gustav Mahler
Symphony No.10

Riccardo Chailly & RSO Berlin

[Bachtoven]

This kid can certainly play! (Although I'm not tossing out my Berman, Trifonov, and a few other recordings.)

[vandermolen]

Pettersson: Symphony No.8

[Linz]

Bruckner Symphony No. 1 in C Minor, 1877 Linz version with revisions - Ed. Leopold Nowak, Eliahu Inbal, Radio-Sinfonie-Orchester Frankfurt

[Iota]

This kid can certainly play! (Although I'm not tossing out my Berman, Trifonov, and a few other recordings.)

There are a wealth of 'kids' around now that play spectacularly brilliantly, it's quite overwhelming. We're very fortunate to live in such a golden age of pianism. 👍

Here:



Much enjoyed so far.

Revisiting one of my all-time favourite musical compositions (in any genre, from any period): Claude Debussy's Jeux. Manuel Rosenthal's recording with the Paris Opéra Orchestra (from 1959) is quite fantastic !

Here the original Lp cover:



Reissued on CD in this set:



EDIT:

Since we're at it, why not listen to another perennial favourite? The same orchestra under the same conductor perform Ravel's Le Tombeau de Couperin. Magnifique!

[Linz]

Bruckner Symphony No. 5 in B Flat Major, 1878 Version Ed. Leopold Nowak, Eugene Ormandy Philadelphia, Orchestra

[ritter]

And to wrap up tonight's listening, another work that ranks very high in my personal pantheon: Manuel de Falla's El retablo de Maese Pedro. Ernesto Halffter conducts the Spanish National Radio and Television Ofchestra, with vocal soloists Isabel Penagos (sop.), José María Higuero (ten.) and Pedro Farrés (bar.), and Genoveva Gálvez at the harpsichord. Recorded live (in excellent sound) in November 1966 at the Teatro de la Zarzuela in Madrid,

4.

That is the most elusive of his symphonies for me. That is the kind of works that rewards more and more with each listen.

My favorite Schmidt symphony is the Fourth, but I've really enjoyed his Second and Third as well. Only the first, which seemed a little too like Bruckner and Richard Strauss, didn't really impress me.

TD: over the last couple of days, finished the Haydn Marriner box:

Symphony no. 99
Symphony no. 102

Symphony no. 100
Symphony no. 103

Academy of St. Martin in the Fields
Sir Neville Marriner
(on CD)

Interesting! What's the music like Danny?

From what I have heard in the music and read by way of review, I think it may be of interest to you. Echoes of Sibelius are mentioned, and the more turbulent #1 has a bit of uneasy struggle going on. Of the two, I reckon #1 might be the place to begin.

I quite like them both.
