I wondered when Parry would join the conversation. I always think of Stanford and Parry in the same breath.

Yep me too as a matter of fact.

Wellesz: Symphonies 1 and 2

Engrossing post-Mahlerian symphonies. BTW, this set is one of the best things CPO has ever made.

[VonStupp]

Luigi Cherubini
Missa Solemnis in G Major

The occasion of a coronation for King Louis XVIII gives this Cherubini Mass a little extra oomph.

No.28 & 29. Great playing, but the sound, while very good, is a bit distant for my taste.

Johan Svendsen.
Symphonies 1 & 2.
Polonaise N. 2.
Danish National Radio Symphony Orchestra, Thomas Dausgaard.
Recorded: 2000 at the Danish Radio Concert Hall, Copenhagen, Danmark.

Some great choices this evening, with this as the standout for me. Stanford and Parry ought to be appreciated far more, I think, but the Svendsen works are even better in my eyes.

Good to have you trailblaizing such great music 🏆👍☺️

Ries, Ferdinand (1784-1838) - Violin & Piano Sonatas w/ the performers below on 3 volumes covering about half of the 18 violin/piano sonatas written by Ries - friend, pupil, 'secretary', etc. of LVBeethoven.  Listened to Vols. 1 & 3 today as $4.50 USD DLs on sale from Prestomusic - burned to CD-R and sounded fine on my den speakers - Vol. 2 ordered from BRO for $4 and 'in the mail' - so for 13 bucks picked up all 3 recordings - don't have the reviews I perused but all quite good.  Dave

Ginastera: Concierto Argentino and Piano Concerto No. 1

Quite different each other, where the former features folksy rhythms a la Estancia, and the latter immersed into some somber, chilly atmospheres with excellent use of the orchestra. Ginastera had a phenomenal talent for orchestration.
