That Hurwitz dude hates this recording. I love it. I think he just doesn't like HiP. Dude is un-hip as can be.

I don't like it either, but I'm not anti-HIP. The best PI recording I've heard is...

Ben Haim belongs to my list of favourite composers, so this release was very welcome, certainly after I have listened to the content. A very successful project, in which all the qualities of this extraordinary fine composer comes at the foreground. The performance and sound makes me happy.

Finally finished my first traversal through this marvelous 4 disc set. Definitely a must have for Franckfurters!! Marvelous, energetic performances of the symphonic poems, and a very competitive performance of the D minor symphony!

Conducted by Pierre Bleuse

Symphony in D minor (1887)
Conducted by Christian Arming

Orchestre Philharmonique Royal de Liege

Mozart, WA - String Quintets - yesterday listened to the two sets of these works in my collection (Nash Ensemble & Talich Quartet) - reviews attached (Klenke Quartet included; Talich seems to get the honors). Today, listening to the two recordings at the bottom, Alexander Quartet & the older Grumiaux Trio+, both in a Spotify playlist playing over my den speakers.

Any favorites in these groups and others that I can sample on Spotify?  Dave

First listen to Karel Husa's Three Frescoes from the late 1940s, which reminds me of Lutoslawski from that era and is somewhat more martial and menacing than Martinu works from the same time (Fresco No. 1 is like if that composer's Third Symphony was all climaxes all the time). Bartok might be another frame of reference.

The deeply enchanting music of Hilar Tann (came across them looking for music related to Amergin)
