[Linz]

Anton Bruckner Symphony No. 2 in C Minor, 1872/77 Mixed Versions. Ed. Leopold Nowak, Berliner Philharmoniker, Herbert von Karajan

[Brian]

Scrolling through Qobuz, I saw that there is a 28-minute Prokofiev Waltz Suite that I have never heard before and impulse-decided that it was time to hear it.

[Dry Brett Kavanaugh]

Copland: Lincoln Portrait. New York Philharmonic, Artur Rodzinski.

[Lisztianwagner]

Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky
1812 Overture
Symphony No.4

Eugene Ormandy & Philadelphia Orchestra

Shostakovich
c minor Symphony, Op. 43
CSO
André Previn

[Karl Henning]

Nice!

[foxandpeng]

In the Rerun today, because I find it to be that good.

Ooh, nice. Nimrod Borenstein! The name alone demands a hearing.

David Maslanka
Symphony 2
Gregg Hanson
University of Arizona Wind Ensemble
Albany


Always a joy to hear Maslanka.

[Daverz]

Rosza: Violin Concerto

Wonderful performance, but the recording makes the orchestra sound too reticent at times.

[JBS]

Continuing on with Kondrashin/Shostakovich


Symphony 5 in d minor Op 47
Symphony 6 in b minor Op 54

Recordings date from 1967

[Karl Henning]

Continuing on with Kondrashin/Shostakovich


Symphony 5 in d minor Op 47
Symphony 6 in b minor Op 54

Recordings date from 1967

Oh, I'll cue up the Op. 54!

[André]

One of the best performances in the big, bold and brawny category. The SD doesn't have the finesse of the WP, but boy, can they ever pump those decibels ! Sinopoli is more adept at Bruckner than his compatriots Abbado or Chailly.

[André]

Continuing on with Kondrashin/Shostakovich


Symphony 5 in d minor Op 47
Symphony 6 in b minor Op 54

Recordings date from 1967

That recording of the 5th has an amazing take on the work's coda: slow, grinding, crushing, desperate, a fake triumph.

I always find the LvB quartets rewarding!
