Wolf-Ferrari: Sinfonia brevis, in E-flat major

This was rather interesting. A pretty good, well-written work that, whilst not a top-tier composition, does provide an agreeable listen. Wolf-Ferrari also composed a Sinfonia da camera which will follow later tomorrow.

That entire Wolf-Ferrari series from CPO is nice.

  Correct. Well, almost correct. I didn't have a lot of Chandos. I've recently scored a pretty massive haul

Then know from this day onward, Lydia Mordkovitch is a force and a legend. One of the best violinists that ever walked this earth.

Maybe they mean $9.50 (I would hope!) ? 


Concerning Lydia Mordkovitch:

[pjme]

Alpaerts: James Ensor Suite; Meulemans: Plinius' Fontein; D'Hoedt: Chroniques Breves De la Vie Bourgeoise.

Ah..;those were the days ...when VRT was still BRT(N), encouraged recordings of Belgo-Flemish music and Rahbari wasn't a friend of Gergiev...
Anyway, an interesting program. All three composers(conductors) prove to be very expert orchestrators. I hope sooner or later we get a performance of Alpaerts 1907 Spring symphony which - I discovered in an 1941 biography - has a last movement with  "vocalise" or cor anglais/cello solo... From the same period date symphonic poems "Cyrus" "Psyche" and "Resurgence", Later orchestral works include an Elegy for brass and percussion, a symphonic poem for flute and orchestra, 2 Orchestral suites (orchestrted piano pieces).
As for D'Hoedt: I'm definitely intrigued by Klaas au Pays de Cocagne, opera (Antwerp, 1926);  Narcisse for Orch.; L'lle de Cythere for Chorus and Orch.; La Vocation de Siddartha, symphonic trilogy; Dionysos, symphonic poem; Poeme pantagruelique for Orch.
As for Meulemans: afaik, several symphonies and other symphonic scores  await a first performance ...

[Le Buisson Ardent]

Those Holten/Delius collections were a fine series.

I agree, but I wish Holten could've recorded the concerti and have done a complete recording of Hassan (sans the narration of course ). But we're lucky to have several volumes from him of Delius' music.

[Le Buisson Ardent]

That set is underrated I think.

Yes, indeed. It's too bad that Hickox didn't live long enough to finish this RVW symphony cycle. The Andrew Davis performances are pretty good, but I prefer Hickox in RVW in general.

NP:

Panufnik
Bassoon Concerto
Laurence Perkins, bassoon
City of Birmingham SO
William Goodchild

From this 2-CD set -



A good performance of Panufnik's Bassoon Concerto, but lacking the atmosphere that the performance on CPO had in spades (Michael von Schönermark/Borowicz) which I prefer over this drier acoustic from Hyperion.
