[Le Buisson Ardent]

I only have a couple of his works but found them to be fascinating:  Black Angels (with the Kronos Quartet) and his Sonata for Solo Cello (Matt Haimovitz).

PD

And he was an interesting guy, too. He was from West Virginia and he might have a thicker Southern accent than I do.

    Well, if you can understand yourself when you mutter to yourself, you're doing o.k.

From this OOP set -

[Dry Brett Kavanaugh]

Hindemith Cello and Violin Concertos. Ancerl/Prague.

[Symphonic Addict]

It's a fabulous CD.

I haven't heard the Adams yet, but the Harris is a winner on my book.

[Symphonic Addict]

That entire Wolf-Ferrari series from CPO is nice.

Overall it is rather consistent. This CD, on the other hand, did disappoint me:

[Daverz]

Dvorak: Violin Concerto - Josef Suk/Karel Ancerl

Still sounds great.  In fact, I think it sounds better than Suk's remake with Neumann.

[VonStupp]

Johann Nepomuk Hummel
Concerto for Piano and Violin, op. 17
Piano Concerto 4 in E Major, op. 110

Hagai Shaham, violin
Howard Shelley, piano
London Mozart Players

VS


Window with a View of Pillnitz Castle (1823)
Johann Christian Clausen Dahl

[foxandpeng]

Claudio Santoro
Symphony 4 'Sinfonia da Paz'
Orquestra Sinfonica do Estado de Sao Paolo
John Neschling
BIS

Something less emotionally demanding to work towards the day's end. I should listen to Santoro more often.

[foxandpeng]

Camargo Guarnieri
Symphony 3
Orquestra Sinfonica do Estado de Sao Paolo John Neschling
BIS

More engaging South American music before calling it a night. Again, I should listen to more of this music.

[foxandpeng]

Esteban Benzecry
Clarinet Concerto
Pablo Boggiano
Lviv NPSO
Naxos

Yeah, this is very good. Last one today.

NP:

Glazunov
Symphony No. 2 in F-sharp minor, Op. 16
Song Of Fate, dramatic overture, Op. 84
USSR State SO
Svetlanov



I managed to find all of these Glazunov Svetlanov Melodiya CDs during my time away from the forum. I bought most of them off of Discogs from a seller in Poland. I'm glad I found them as Svetlanov's Glazunov is top-drawer. I also like the Rozhdestvensky cycle on Olympia.

NP:

Holmboe
Chamber Symphony No. 2, Op. 100 "Elegy"
Lapland Chamber Orchestra
Storgårds

[Mookalafalas]

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

  I hope this brings her more of the attention she so richly deserves.

[JBS]

From the Warner Zubin Mehta set.
I don't think I've ever heard this recording. Given that Perlman is a favorite performer of mine, and the Shostakovich a favorite concerto, rather surprising. But it is a bit tamer than I like, without the bite that is in, eg, the Mullova/Previn recording.

I really love her work, too, Harry. Good call.

[Bachtoven]

[Karl Henning]

Harry is a big fan! 

Moi aussi.
