Tashi (i.e., pianist Peter Serkin, cellist Fred Sherry, and clarinetist Richard Stoltzman) and guests play Beethoven: Quintet for piano and winds in E-flat, Op. 16, and Trio in B-flat, Op. 11.



From the big Serkin fils box:

[Bachtoven]

While not as bad as Barto's new Bartok, this is also decidedly lukewarm.

[Traverso]

I'll stay with the great conductor Fricsay for a while now with an opera by Willibald Gluck

[VonStupp]

Wilhelm Stenhammar
Snöfrid
Midvinter
Lodolezzi: Suite
Sången: Intermezzo
Gothenburg SO & Choir - Neeme Järvi

I'm really taken with Stenhammar's Midvinter. Its modal setting reels me in, although the short choral entry seems excess.

Midvinter is a truly enchanting work indeed!

Schoenberg's Violin Concerto

[Symphonic Addict]

Koppel: Moses - Oratorio for soloists, chorus and orchestra

I had high hopes for this oratorio that narrates some parts of Moses's life. There's a fair bunch of great and stirring moments, but overall this is too dour and serious to my taste. Songs of the Israelites and Moses to the Lord, the Stone Tables, the Golden Calf was the most interesting group of sections in my perception.




Offenbach/Rosenthal: Gaîté Parisienne

Since I like contrast big time, I continued with this score. Oh my..., I don't remember hearing this before. This is fun totally unleashed, exhilaration in big portions, good vibes all the way through. An extremely enjoyable piece with no dull parts whatsoever.

[Symphonic Addict]

Grofé: Hudson River Suite

Very entertaining and vivacious to say the least. The movement Rip Van Winkle delighted me, especially.
