I the Gould/CSO box this 4 Temperaments is coupled with the Clarinet Concerto (good idea!) and...... Chicago (That Toddlin' Town) - in Gould's arrangement - fun but very unexpected..........!

Cool! I had no notion!

It is very pity that the box I have is harder to find, the two duos perhaps a bit easier.
Although certainly worth the effort to  search for it.There is no libretto included...

I learned very basic German in high school, so some of the songs I can follow without needing a translation, especially the famous ones like Erlkonig. And for the many songs my German isn't up to, internet to the rescue!

Recorded at the Great Lakes Chamber Festival last summer, an energetic version of Bartók's Contrasts, with Shai Wosner (piano), Tessa Lark (violin), and Michael Collins (clarinet). Been a long time since I've heard this piece. My bad.

Your mileage may vary, but I really like this new release, phenomenal playing:



I will be listening to Cho's solo Ravel next.

Also wishlisted. Although I already have Baker's Hyperion Schubert recital, and Janowitz has twice as much...

True, but consider this:

1) Baker was slightly past her prime in the Hyperion recital (1987). She was in superb voice in 1971.

2) You can have both, their voices are SO different. Like chocolate mousse and mango sherbet.

Every once in a while the urge to shake the ol' comfort zone arises. Trumpet concertos are like anchovies - or smoked oysters. They really stand out, quite apart from other instruments/foods.

Interestingly, while very recent, these works are eminently listenable. More raspy, grating, piercing trumpet sounds can be heard in works from previous generations. I especially liked Robert Saxton's 2 concertos. They are also the most substantial pieces of the disc.

Ah...you are an educated man.....

I've been listening to bits and bobs of Ethel Smyth's compositions over the past few weeks.

I think The Wreckers overture, String Quintet in E Major, and her Mass in D on Chandos are my favorites from what I have heard of Smyth's music.
