[NumberSix]

Tchaikovsky: Violin Concerto

Daniel Harding, Mahler Chamber Orchestra

[AnotherSpin]

The Rutter and Giulini are easily two favorites of mine of that work. I can't imagine I would put up much fight to hear the Hyperion either.
VS

All these recording of Fauré's Requiem are outstanding. And although I believe that ranking different recordings is silly and childish, these versions can easily be placed at the very top. If someone really needs to, of course .

The 1st recording I've come accross that is entirely dedicated to this 15th/16th c. German lutenist and composer!

PS I'm about to leave on a long trip to South Korea & Japan. I probably won't be posting for over 4 weeks. See you all end of October.

Why, there's no internet in Japan or Korea? 

Just joking, Que. Enjoy the trip!

Schubert: Piano Sonata No. 14 in A minor, D784

Inspired, intricate and touching playing from Debargue. He makes some of the melodic harmonies so faint, like poignant ghostly comet trails, it really takes one inside the piece.

Ma, Koopman, et al.

Apologies for the inane observation, but at first glance my errant mind deleted the comma above and offered up Ma Koopman, who appeared as a hardened and wizened elderly lady surviving and eking out an existence in the early days of the wild West. And the next second it dispensed with the 'Koo' and lo and behold your name appeared for the second time (in its position in the original post). Such things often occur here and raise an inner smile, but I normally keep my own counsel, for some reason you have not been spared, I repeat the apologies, but it's all over now.

Not the kind of thing I usually listen to at all but I rather enjoyed this;



Another Charity Shop bargain for 75p - cheap enough and a good cause enough to tweak my curiosity....  The Rampal transcription of the Franck Sonata really does not do it for me - the 'scale' of the flute just does not work for this piece.  But then the Prokofiev and the Reinecke - both "proper" flute pieces work tremendously well - embodying the character and strengths of the instrument.  Galway as ever sounds like Galway which I suspect engages or annoys folk to equal degrees.  To my inexpert ear it does sound a little too often like an unrelenting stream of fairly unvaried 'gorgeous' tone but if I could make that sound I'd probably do that too!

Thnx to all! Not much music listening this time around.

And a break from the forum does have a certain appeal...
