Bruckner Symphony in D Minor, 1869 Ed. Woess. published by Universal Edition, Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, Bernard Haitink

[Bachtoven]

"Okeanos" must be quite hair-raising and even hair-blowing in concert! The wet woman on the cover is the organist. Excellent playing and very good sound.

Saint-Saëns: Symphony in A major and Symphony No. 1

The works of a precocious genius. Outstanding performances too.

Six years ago today:

Langgaard: String Quartets 3 and 4 and Rosengaardsspil (from the Dacapo set)

The 3rd SQ strikes me like moody and whimsical. It's Langgaard at his most quirky.

Another possible weakness I find in these works (and in other works of his) is that he reused/recycled material. The 4th SQ Sommerdage shares part of its themes with Rosengaardsspil. To me, they are not totally "original". Even so, I prefer how he incorporated the ideas in the 4th SQ more than in the another piece.

Bantock: Overture to a Greek Tragedy.

Well, the recycling is understandable when he wasn't getting works performed or published. There was material that he liked which he was giving another chance.

Mozart: Violin sonatas 18, 19 and 20.

Streaming recordings from this series, and finding them most agreeable.

Clarines y Trompetas; Marizapalos; La Esfachata de Napoles; La Minina de Portugal; La Minona de Cataluna; La Coquina Francesa; Zarabanda; Passacalles por segundo tono; Jiga al Aire ingles; Pavanas con Partidas al Aire Espanol; Jacaras I & II; Fuga; Matachin; La Tarantela; Preludio o Capricho Arpeado; Zarabanda Francesa; Preludio Y Fantasia; Clarin de los Mosqueteros del Rey de Francia; Folias; Passacalles por quarto tono punto alto; Lantururu; Cancion; Canarios
.

Really well done, but that can be expected from an expert in the field. Rarily Smith disappoints. Delicate, adding a bit of warmth, and a genuine enthusiasm for this composer. A good recording. I added the titles, because the back cover is not really readable.

Bax: Symphony No.4 and Nympholept

[Traverso]

This was my intro to CPE Bach 3 decades ago. Haven't listened to it in years, although the 'Triumph' chorus at the end still resonates in the mind. In the queue it goes 😉

I have this one:

A long time ago there was a radio program on the Belgian BRT on Wednesday evenings, which devoted extensive attention to Carl Philip Emanuel Bach (and other baroque music). Unfortunately the program disappeared.
