What are you listening 2 now?

[Spotted Horses]

Op. 18. I like the appealing warm sound of the players and the intimacy of their sound, as if they are your friends in a true "chamber" setting. But I do wish the cello was a little bit more prominent in the sound mix. Overall going very nicely.

Before Preucil joined the ensemble, I take it.

New addition to my Bocccherini collection (5-disc set purchased for $10 from Amazon w/ some reward points) - Violin Sonatas with Igor Ruhadze on a Baroque violin and Alexandra Nepomnyashchaya on a reproduction fortepiano by Gijs Wilder (Amsterdam, 2000) after an Anton Walter, Vienna, c. 1795.

Luigi B. wrote about 3 dozen extant sonatas (see list below), plus a dozen lost (G 31-33) - the ones in bold are included with this box, listed as Volume 1, so maybe to be 'finished off' later w/ the remainder in the listing?  Dave

Qobuz says 1980?

Now a very relaxed take on Sextet No. 2:

Qobuz says 1980?

Preucil joined in 1989.

[Spotted Horses]

Now a very relaxed take on Sextet No. 2:

First 30 seconds of Sextet No 1 sounds gorgeous. 1982 recording. Discogs doesn't give any indication of whether the original recording was analog or digital. I don't know about RCA, but other labels had converted to digital master tapes by then.

Each to their own 🙂

I've found most of my greatest loves and finest discoveries have needed a little perseverance. Schuman being one of them, actually. I had a stab at his symphonies on a couple of occasions and just couldn't take to them. Recently, however, I've been massively impressed.

Maybe you are impressed by your perseverance?

Seriously, why fight the way through the thicket when there are so many wonderful flowers in the clearing? I'm hopelessly behind in listening to what I love already.

Yeah, not so much. My perseverance isn't something impressive or even notable, because it is sufficiently common to be the norm for lots of music fans. The clearing can be a beautiful place, and we should always revel in the obvious... but my personal experience tells me that beauty also comes with patience and careful observation in harder to reach places.

We are, of course, all different.

Staying with Bach this morning, for the moment anyway.

Fabulous.
