Looking for some nice minimalist piano as I wind down and climb into bed...

Mahler: Symphony 2



It sounds a lot better to me this time .

[Florestan]

That work was performed in a concert I attended recently. An exhilarating piece. I was so taken by it that I applauded where the work has this sort of 'false ending' (at 10:39 mark in the video), thinking that it was the real ending!

Whereupon up in the Heaven Enescu told Haydn: I owe it to you, dear Papa! and Haydn humbly smiled and winked: You put it to excellent use, child!.

Normally a recording with Spanish repertoire wouldn't be my obvious pick for this ensemble. But it is nicely done though not very idiomatic.

[Que]

 @Que This is outstanding

Excellent!

Enescu: Romanian Rhapsodie No. 1 (WDR Sinfonieorchester | Cristian Măcelaru, recorded 2019 in Cologne). Love seeing the faces of the musicians, who are clearly enjoying themselves.

I have heard lost of excellent performances (and the one above is outstanding) but in terms of sheer exhilaration none of them can top this one:

It must be seen (as opposed to merely listened to) to be believed.

I picked this out of curiosity. 1st surprise is a mix of clavichord and harpsichord, 2nd surprise is that I enjoy this more than expected after some previous crazy over-the-top Bach by Esfahani.

[Irons]

Tippett: Ritual Dances from The Midsummer Marriage.

David Atherton conducting BBC National Orchestra of Wales.

After Elgar and RVW in more restrained mode Tippett smashes it.

[Madiel]

Mozart

Violin sonata no.23 in D major, K.306/300l (written in Paris, 1778)
Piano sonata no.13 in B flat major, K.333/315c (not written then despite what K numbers had us believing for a century just because it wasn't written in Vienna. Probably Linz, 1783)

[Florestan]

Good afternoon all.

A bit of Richard Strauss.

[Cato]

A great performance of a great work!

Julius Reubke: Sonata on Psalm 94

Organist: Sebastian Küchler-Blessing


Played in the Cologne Cathedral:

[Florestan]

At 20 discs, a less daunting diet of PCs than the 87-and-counting Hyperion series. 

Disc 1: Cramer 5 / Czerny Divertissement de Concert / Ries 3

Ha! I love that (and bet that at least a few of those onstage found your enthusiasm charming). It is exhilarating — a real showpiece. Envious that you heard it live, since at least in the U.S., it doesn't seem to show up on concerts that often.

And thank you for that! A treasure, this time for the shots of him, rather than the orchestra. At times he's conducting with his hips, or his eyebrows, and in general having a great time. (Though it does look like great fun to play, a look at the score shows that it's also quite difficult.) The reaction of the audience is great: they don't even wait for the end to die down before breaking into cheers.

Also, I loved the glimpses of the hall, seen in color in this excellent (though with a single camera angle) performance with Vlad Vizireanu, with the lovely murals.

Anyway, thanks again, might have missed this one.

Elgar: Violin Concerto
Vilde Frang
Robin Ticciati & Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin

Good morning, all! Elgar is perfect lovely music for morning coffee.

[Mandryka]

Just such a touching photo on the cover - affection and pride. Fun, agreeable, cheerful, celebratory, light interpretation of the Mozart  -304.
