Berio: Differences



The taped electronic sounds add an interesting extra component to the music .

[Que]

Penderecki: Cello Concerto No. 2



Churns and pounds along at a relentless pace .

You do not make it sound very appealing! 

[steve ridgway]

You do not make it sound very appealing! 

Ah, I meant it churns and pounds along in a good way .

[Mandryka]

Not on Qobuz I am afraid, at least not in my country. Plenty of her recordings there, but not this one.

Yes, I had to actually buy it!

[Que]

Another from the still largely unpacked suitcase:



One of the prettiest lute duets recording I know.
This is a reissue by Glossa (with full notes) of a recording by Harmonia Mundi.

Ah, I meant it churns and pounds along in a good way .

I see! 

[Mookalafalas]

Yeah, baby. Quator Ebene gets even cooler

[Iota]

Schoenberg: Piano Concerto, Op. 42
Peter Serkin (piano)

I like Serkin's deft way in this work, which for all its Classical overtones and largely strict tone rows, seems like a colourful character recounting passing thoughts and memories over a beer, flitting from one mood to the next with restless abandon, as the fermented barley and his own urges gradually slip into the fuel tank too.

Good afternoon all,

Spurred by @Luke 's article posted in the Phil Lesh thread, dug up some Havergal Brian.

No.6

[Traverso]

Bach

Partitas 1-2 & 3

This is the first recording Gustav Leonhardt made of these beautiful partitas.



There is also a second recording with better sound and some differences in execution but I like both equally.

This the second recording

Godfried Devreese
Symphony No.1 'Gothic'(1940)

[vandermolen]

Good afternoon all,

Spurred by @Luke 's article posted in the Phil Lesh thread, dug up some Havergal Brian.

No.6

One of the best HB releases and the Cooke is very fine as well.

[AnotherSpin]

The walk along the seashore was accompanied by Mahler.

[Todd]

Disc four, the first of the electrical recordings, including Cortot's rightly famous 1926 Chopin Preludes.

[vandermolen]

I'd forgotten how good Godfried Devreese's First Symphony ('Gothic') is. Like Sternefeld's First Symphony it combines an epic defiance with a redemptive ending. Some reviews are v negative about the playing of the Moscow SO but that did not stop me enjoying the Symphony No.1 or the rather moving 'In Memoriam'
+ nice cover painting by the Anglo-Belgian James Ensor - one of my favourite painters.
