What are you listening 2 now?

[DaveF]

Found this in my letterbox when I came back from a short vacation:

Amazing. And very interesting liner notes, with eassays on the songs, performance choices and Ockeghem's last name.

Yes, the bit about the signature is very interesting - makes you wonder why we hadn't noticed that before.  On the other hand, the notion of there being one correct spelling is probably a modern one; a century later even someone with as simple a name as "Byrd" was known to sign himself with variant spellings.

Ashamed to say I haven't listened to the disc yet

Hope you find the time, it's very much worth it.

Would get the pulse racing if coming across that issue in the pre-loved vinyl bins.

Yes!
I remember the recording in this format:



Now listening to

Op. 106

Stravinsky: The Rite Of Spring (another CD reissue but I like to tag my files with older artwork).

[DaveF]

Hope you find the time, it's very much worth it.

Ah, yes, have just started volume 1 (also in the 'In' pile) - their Aultre Venus is truly heartbreaking, a good corrective to Cut Circle's lusty bellowing, whose Venus sounds like a no-nonsense sort of gal leaning out of a window about 20 floors up.

[Traverso]

Bach

Back to these beautiful cantatas....

[Dry Brett Kavanaugh]

To Anatolia: Selections from the Turkish Five. Beyza Yazgan.

[Brian]

First-ever listen, inspired by the comments on this thread. I don't know what I expected but this is very strange music! It's almost like a suite of tone poems, very post-impressionist/post-Mahler.

[Karl Henning]

High time I resumed this journey.

A first listen (probably)

Myaskovsky
Symphony № 11 in b^b minor, Op. 34 (1932)

[Spotted Horses]

Faure Nocturnes No 8, 9, Le Sage



Nocturne 8 is very brief, at about 2 minutes. Nocturne 9 is a bit more substantial, exhibit a consistent mood, a bit of a departure from some of the other Nocturnes, which are constructed from contrasting sections. Thoroughly enjoyed.

[Cato]

To Anatolia: Selections from the Turkish Five. Beyza Yazgan.

At first glance, the lady seemed to be an amputee: her left leg seems to be missing. 


But no: her website shows otherwise! 


I will look into the music later today (I hope)!

Sunleif Rasmussen
Symphony 1 'Ocean Days'
Saxophone Concerto 'Dem Licht Entgegen'
Hannu Lintu
Danish NSO
DACAPO

Enormous fan of Sunleif Rasmussen's music. Both of his symphonies captivated me immediately (despite the fact that #2 is choral and forms part of the random exceptions to appreciating choral music) , and continue to do so. The foremost composer of Faroese classical music, according to the 'pedia.

How many are they, I wonder?
