[JBS]

Warner Andsnes box, CD 13


This was apparently a popular release, since Virgin/EMI re-issued it both individually and as part of its Virgin Double CD series.

[Symphonic Addict]

Sibelius: String Quartets, JS 184 and 183 (Sibelius Academy SQ)

His first two string quartets. The first one in E-flat major sounds pretty classical in style, somewhat close to Haydn and Mozart, whilst the second one has more romantic elements, not properly distinctive yet pretty attractive overall.

[Bachtoven]

I love this LP, so I was thrilled to find it on Qobuz. (The LP still sounds richer and more realistic, but the FLAC version sounds very good.)

[JBS]

Opus 64

[Mapman]

Richard Rodney Bennett: Concerto for solo percussion and chamber orchestra
Glennie; Daniel: Scottish Chamber Orchestra

Quite interesting, especially since most of the percussion is unpitched.



Brahms: Symphony #2
Boult: LPO

An overall excellent performance, only slightly let down by the final movement.

[Bachtoven]

[Pohjolas Daughter]

Warner Andsnes box, CD 13

When did he record it?  Would be interested in hearing it; that said, I have high standards (Firkusny).
