What are you listening 2 now?

Shostakovich: Symphony No.11 'The Year 1905' Houston SO/Stokowski
This sounds better than ever on my new Cambridge Audio amplifier.

(I'm having trouble posting images at the moment unless they are already saved in 'Pictures').
Just managed to do it :-)

Oh I love that recording!  I haven't heard it in awhile, I should listen to it soon.

I'm glad to hear that you think highly of it as well David.

Messiaen: Turangalîla Symphonie

[vandermolen]

Must give this a go.

Currently spinning -

I think that you'd enjoy both the Cello Concerto and the Symphony Lol.

After listening to Prokofiev's Violin Concerto No 1 (mentioned glowingly by Iota in the Josefowicz recording) I decided to listen again in a different recording, Pietsch.



Another remarkable performance. Finally, I dug up the Ricci/Ansermet, which provided yet another compelling account of this fascinating work.

I like those Ansermet recordings.

Bartók: Duke Bluebeard's Castle. Fricsay/Berlin.

[VonStupp]

Johann Nepomuk Hummel
String Quartet in C Major, op. 30 no. 1
String Quartet in G Major, op. 30 no. 2
String Quartet in E-flat Major, op. 30 no. 3
Delmé Quartet

Hummel's first SQ is his the most convincing, although there are individual marks within all three.

Kabalevsky: Cello Concerto No. 2 in C minor

This is the dark counterpart of his more jovial Cello Concerto No. 1 in G major and it's a masterful work. It receives a great performance here.

[Symphonic Addict]

Good stuff. Animals would like this too.

A delicious CD!

I like those Ansermet recordings.

The Ansermet Romeo and Juliet is particularly striking, to me.

Brahms Serenade No.1 in D Major, Op.11 and Serenade No.2 in A Major, Op.16, Gewandhausorchester Leipzig, Riccardo Chailly

[Traverso]

Do you know the one with Studio der frühe Musik, Augsburg (not to confuse with Studio der frühe Musik, München)?

Hi Poul, I think it would be an excellent idea to purchase this set.

[ritter]

Concertante works for cello from 20th century Italy: Malipiero's Cello Concerto, Ghedini's L'Olmeneta (for two cellos), and Casella's Notturno e tarantella (not listed on the CD's front cover).

Ludwig van Beethoven
Piano Concerto No.5

Arthur Rubinstein (piano)

Hi Poul, I think it would be an excellent idea to purchase this set.

Well - yes, but I own two thirds of the content already, including the Reuental CD.

Last night's bedtime listening:

I'm still exploring Rouse's ouvre, but this work seems quite a bit different from his usual.  For one, it is downright goofy and silly in places, though it seems very well crafted.  Quite a refreshing piece.

And now a recent BMOP disc.

This composer has quite an impressive CV.
