What are you listening 2 now?

[prémont]

Bach

A great recording - and well recorded.

A Bach integral from van Doeselaar might do miracles, even when the competition is taken into consideration.

[Roasted Swan]

From that CD I enjoyed the Symphony No. 1 the most. The Piano Concerto didn't do much for me.

You might also be interested in this CD, Jeffrey:




It contains her Symphony No. 2, Sinfonia brevis and Suite for orchestra No. 2. A remarkable recording. The Symphony No. 2 made a strong impression on me.

I must admit I enjoyed this BIS disc and the music.  But not to the same degree as say the recent discoveries of Ruth Gipps or Thomas de Hartmann.  I'm intrigued enough by Leiviska to look out for Vol.2 of this orchestral series on the label but not in the way I'll buy just about anything by either of the other two I mentioned now.

Slovak Suite

Libor Pešek & Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra

[Pohjolas Daughter]

Vítězslav Novák
Slovak Suite

Libor Pešek & Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra

Dang!  I've been wanting to get a hold of that album!  Good for you! 

Here:  Henri Dutilleux's Sur le même accord and Bartók's second violin concerto (both with Anne-Sophie Mutter on a DG compilation).  I will save the Stravinksy work for another time).

Op. 106

[Mapman]

Gouvy: Fantaisie symphonique
Kalb: Württembergische Philharmonie Reutlingen



Lalo: Symphonie Espagnole
Stern; Ormandy: Philadelphia

I didn't expect the 3rd movement to sound so much like Carmen (which premiered a month later).

[Symphonic Addict]

Bliss: Metamorphic Variations

I couldn't focus on the music all the time, but it sounded intriguing to some extent.




K.A. Hartmann: Symphony 'L'oeuvre' (Symphonie-Orchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks, Emilio Pomarico)

An interesting rarity as I had thought it had never been recorded before. Part of its material was re-used in his Symphony No. 6.

[Karl Henning]

[Symphonic Addict]

Respighi: Concerto a cinque, for oboe, horn, double bass, violin, piano and strings
Linde: Cello Concerto

The Cello Concerto by the Swedish composer Bo Linde should be better known. A worthy addition to the repertoire. Fortunately it receives a confident and satisfying rendition on this Naxos disc.

[Todd]

The Noonday Witch is superb, the 8th better than expected.

[Mapman]

Brahms: Clarinet Trio
Karl Leister

A $1 disc from the recent sale that I listened to in the car, and now am listening to under better conditions. It's an excellent performance.

[Symphonic Addict]

Schuman: Violin Concerto
Tubin: Double Bass Concerto

Two formidable concertos packed with engaging dissonances.

Joyce Hatto Ingrid Haebler is also very good in the Mozart piano sonatas.

This hilarious review left egg all over Gramophone's face: https://www.gramophone.co.uk/review/mozart-complete-piano-sonatas-1

[Symphonic Addict]

Bax: Winter Legends

Some of these Chandos recordings have a special resonance that enhances the 'legendary' feel to the music. One of Bax's greatest works in my book.




Ligeti: Cello Concerto (Renaud Déjardin, cello)

Something completely different from the Bax yet very absorbing and compelling. Sounded like a fine performance to me.

[JBS]

Joyce Hatto Ingrid Haebler is also very good in the Mozart piano sonatas.

Yes, I already heard them.
This is from Decca's Haebler Phillips Legacy box, so it has her first sonata cycle and the violin sonatas with Szeryng, plus some of the chamber music with piano (but no piano trios).
Of 58 CDs in this box, 28 1/2 are Mozart.
