Quote from: Roasted Swan on May 16, 2024, 08:42:46 AMSorry to do that!  For me it really is one of the very few Previn recordings of just about anything that I don't love.

For me too.

I love Iranian classical music and this Iranian composer Reza Vali is not a representative of what interests me in the music of his country.

Yes, Previn's LSO Symphony No.1 gets a bad press but I liked hearing a different take on it.

Yes, substantially different from the Iranian traditional music.

Regarding Belgian music, that CD has become a sort of classic.
Part of the tragedy of the Palestinians is that they have essentially no international support for a good reason: they've no wealth, they've no power, so they've no rights.

Enjoyable Russian music, full of melodies. Arensky's Dream on the Volga Overture was my favorite discovery today.

Britten: King Arthur Suite; An American Overture

My first time listening to the King Arthur Suite. It has to be one of his most epic-sounding works, the music certainly lives up to the expectations. I enjoyed it quite a bit. An American Overture is not far removed from liveliness and colour either. The strokes of the timpani sound powerful reaching the ending.

Two first-class quartets by this Bohemian-Moravian composer (1795-1873). A stunning discovery.
