What are you listening 2 now?

[Iota]

Indispensable, the way you describe it.

Whether others will share my enthusiasm I have no idea, but it's one that fired me up for sure!

Alexander Scriabin
Piano Concerto in F-sharp minor, op. 20

Oleg Marshev, piano
South Jutland SO - Vladimir Ziva

I was really taken by this PC, even if it is more Rachmaninov than Scriabin.

The Nutcracker.  Reiner, Chicago. I'm in Reiner mode this week.

[Symphonic Addict]

Well, it's from his "Kreisler Jr." period, which also includes, but it's not limited to, the other two piano sonatas and the original version of the piano trio op. 8. 

I said that because the first two sonatas already sounded to me more distinctive. The 3rd, however, has a more elusive quality to it.

Prokofiev SY2. Leinsdorf/Boston.

Again!

[Mandryka]

Honegger's Rhapsodie for two flutes, clarinet and piano is a gem, an absolute miracle.



Beautiful intertwining melodies, haunting harmonies in a general pastoral vein. Just beautiful.

It is very fine - and astonishingly for music of this quality, there has only ever been one recording.

[Linz]

Mahler Symphony No. 4 in G major, Kiri Te Kanawa soprano, Berliner Philharmoniker, Seiji Ozawa

[Dry Brett Kavanaugh]

Again!

PC 5 sounds good too!

[Karl Henning]

PC 5 sounds good too!

That's a great little box!

[Dry Brett Kavanaugh]

That's a great little box!

Yes, absolutely. Wonder why he didn't do SY4 though.

I haven't been on in a couple of weeks - but that's because I'm prepping for a move. And part of moving is packing one's music collection away.   Though I haven't done it all yet...

Bruckner
Symphony no. 5
Staatskapelle Dresden
Eugen Jochum
(on CD)


J.S. Bach
The Well-Tempered Clavier, Book I
Angela Hewitt
(on CD)


Mozart
Piano concertos nos. 24, 27
Malcolm Bilson, fortepiano
English Baroque Soloists
John Eliot Gardiner
(on CD)

[Selig]

A new recording of these was badly needed... It's been 33 years since the last intégrale!

Tchaikovsky: Symphonies 1 and 2

Exemplary interpretations, but it's the 2nd that is tremendously played. I had that work in relatively low esteem and now thank Ormandy and the Philadelphians I'm convinced it's a great work.

[Bachtoven]

[Cato]

Honegger's Rhapsodie for two flutes, clarinet and piano is a gem, an absolute miracle.


Beautiful intertwining melodies, haunting harmonies in a general pastoral vein. Just beautiful. I also listen to Honegger's Clarinet Sonatina, and again the first movement really captivated me.

Finished with the last seven of Koechlin's 14 pieces for clarinet and piano. Nice, but he's no Honegger.

It is refreshing to see the recent Honegger Hullabaloo here on GMG!   


For those who want to be part of the Honeggerloo...
