What are you listening 2 now?

[Spotted Horses]

As long as I this release pulled up, I listened to the companion piece, the Sinfonietta No 1.



I was surprised, it is not very symphonic. Made an impression being more of a colorfully orchestrated rhapsody, making use of the characteristic jewish scale. An enjoyable listen. I've listened to this disc before, I'm sure, but retained no memory of it.

[...] I don't think I've ever heard of Fauré's Penelope??

Nor me:

The 7th is the most impenetrable Mahler symphony for me. I am giving it another try.

[Symphonic Addict]

Seven string quartets by Paul Dessau, four of which are pretty short, yet significantly substantial to some extent. Some present ideas by Berg and/or Schoenberg (Nos. 3, 4, 6 and 7), the other three being more tonal. The 1st SQ reminded me a bit of Hindemith and Toch and it was my favorite followed by the concise 5th SQ where its language softens with respect to the two previous ones and the two next ones. Very interesting overall. Worthwhile music.

Nor me:

A very slow, "untheatrical" opera, but a very beautiful one.

For those not operatically inclined, here's the prelude in the composer's reduction for solo piano:

Bonsoir, cher Karl!

[Bachtoven]

Excellent playing and sound. The Piano Sonata No.2 is an amazing composition for a 13 year old!

Schulhoff: Piano Concerto, op. 43

One of my favorite PCs.

[JBS]

Approaching the end of this set, tonight it's Opus 76. My favorable impression of these recordings has not changed.

[Symphonic Addict]

Svendsen: String Octet in A major

An energetic, tuneful, symphonic-in-scale octet. A highlight in his output.




Foerster: Piano Trio No. 1 in F minor

More music with memorable material. The slow movement and the fourth movement are especially fine.

NP:

Brahms
Trio in A Minor for viola, cello and piano, Op. 114
Lawrence Power, Tim Hugh, Simon Crawford-Phillips

From this OOP set -



Tonight may end up becoming a Brahms night. Over the last couple of years, I've developed a newfound love for his music. It's truly affected me deeply.
