This arrived yesterday, good to have it now on disc:

[Irons]

York Bowen: Cello Sonata.



"English Rachmaninov" is not far from the truth. Definitely more Russian Romantic then English pastoral.
My ear was constantly drawn to the piano, not due to any deficiency of cello but inventiveness in the score for keyboard.

Britten: War Requiem: CBSO, Rattle

A dip into the organ music:

[Madiel]

Mozart: Symphony no.18



At the moment this box is perfect for whenever I want something pleasing that is not too invigorating or demanding.

Darius Milhaud 2 Violin Conertos and Cocertino de printemps op. 135

Milhauds third violin concerto, Concert royal, op. 373, has never been recorded ,afaik.
It can be listened to on the website of the 1959 Queen Elisabeth competition/Brussels. Not the best recordings and Milhauds concerto was sharply criticised for being both atrociously modern and far too difficult.
If you want to listen, go to

https://concoursreineelisabeth.be/en/home/

and go for Darius Milhaud in the search function.

Jaime Laredo, Alberto Lysy, Albert Markov, Joseph Silverstein...were among the candidates. The NOB was led by Franz André.
