What are you listening 2 now?

[JBS]

First time listening to this album with its legendary (?) cover artwork.

Which is merely a picture of MTT at the Miami tourist attraction known as Parrot Jungle, now in a different location* and with a different name (Jungle Island) after being demolished by Hurricane Irma. But parrots are still one of its main features.

*considerably closer to the New World Symphony's facilities on Miami Beach than the old location where this photo was taken.

First time listening to this album with its legendary (?) cover artwork.

NGL, I intend to try this album because of that artwork.

[Florestan]

There's a third one


Which includes the non-piano/piano-plus pieces, hence the larger number of CDs.

I ordered it from Arkivmusic last week; USPS is telling me it will land tomorrow.

Why, thanks for that. Wishlisted.

It was fabulous, really great performances of a really colorful selection of Villa-Lobos' best works.

Love this cover art too.

I haven't read the liner notes so I'm have no idea why the Second Symphony has that title.
I suppose there's something vaguely Vaughan Williams-ish in the music but there's also something Bruckner-ish too.

Love this cover art too.

Good tracklist for me, too. I have not listened to the Gershwin in forever, and I don't know that I recall the other two pieces.

Yay for streaming!

Bruckner  Symphonie No. 8 in C Minor, 1890 Version. Ed. Leopold Nowak, Wiener Symphoniker, Georges Prêtre

[Todd]

The Hahn PC.  It's still just so ridiculous.

[JBS]

Now something that is undoubtedly Vaughan Williams-ish

CD 19, the main works being the Mass in g minor and Three Preludes Founded On Welsh Hymn Tunes, together with a bunch of hymns and chorales, some of them arrangements by RVW of existing music, some of them arrangements by others of RVW's music, and in one case (one of two versions of "Old Hundredth" on the CD) an arrangement of RVW's arrangement of pre-existing music.

Serenade
Five Pieces for Orchestra

Love it! The Serenade is one of my favorites.

Norbert Kraft became a producer for the Naxos guitar series and you can find him in the credits of many of the albums featuring young prizewinners playing varied repertoire to show off their skills. He is sort of an industry guru and his own recordings are a good guide as well.

That's cool!

I don't know this music, but I think this album is lovely.

Don't forget the back cover!

Villa-Lobos: Chôros #10

After all of the discussion about this, I had to re-listen to my favorite part! (I got this CD partly because of the cover.)
