Hypnotic music, beautifully performed and recorded. Thanks for symphonic addict for altering me to this new release.

Mozart, WA - Violin Concertos - sampling the 3 sets below in my collection this morning - Christoph Koncz performs on Mozart's own violin (interesting interview about the experience in The Strad); Carmignola on PIs (adds Sinfonia Concertante, K. 364 as a filler); Julia Fischer on 3 CDs + short DVD w/ lots of fillers - reviews of all three performers attached for those interested.  Dave

Josef Suk
Asrael Symphony

Vladimir Ashkenazy & Helsinki Philharmonic Orchestra

[VonStupp]

Frederick Delius
Over the Hills and Far Away
Sleigh Ride
Brigg Fair
Florida Suite
Marche Caprice
Royal PO - Sir Thomas Beecham

I wish I had started listening to Delius through Beecham. He handles Delius different than most, I think, and it really does his music wonders.

I still am not fond of Brigg Fair for some reason. Perhaps it is the mostly static dreaminess which becomes too much for me. The same might be said of some of these other works, but I enjoy Delius' simple ways with melody in this music.

Op. 106

Non si dà follia maggiore dell'amare un solo oggetto

(Sorry, my friend, couldn't resist..)

Excellent. This is the release of Stockmeier's integral, which has got the best sound, alert @Papy Oli.

That is the s

Thank you @premont I did bookmark a couple of copies on Ebay for reference at the time of your last mention of this version.

With Foccroulle & Beekman already on the go and also Fagius in the listening pile, Stockmeier will be for a bit later I think  (not to mention the Alain French organ works box too!!).

Foccroulle is excellent.  My only objection was my pet peeve of gluing the sleeves!  I think he has also recorded Buxtehude and Frescobaldi... and I want to get around to those sets someday.

The more I listen to the same piece in different performances, the less familiar that piece seems to me. In each new version, consequently, I can hear more details, sometimes unexpected ones.

Oh, yes, I know --- happens to me with Mozart's music.

What attracts me in Allan Pettersson's symphonies is most clearly and one-pointedly expressed in the 9th.

Yeah. Pettersson on Saturday evening while I do some work. Good call.

Foccroulle is excellent.  My only objection was my pet peeve of gluing the sleeves!  I think he has also recorded Buxtehude and Frescobaldi... and I want to get around to those sets someday.

Foccroulle has made several Baroque organ music recordings. I would particularly mention his Buxtehude, Arauxo and Weckmann - and Bach of course. As to the Frescobaldi, I own it, but haven't listened enough to it yet.

Enescu: Symphony No. 3 - Orchestre National de France, Cristian Măcelaru

Perhaps the best recording yet, though I'll have to revisit some of the older recordings.

I'm not sure if this live recording is the same:
