First ever listen to On the Dnieper, which my phone's music detection software automatically recognizes as...the Godzilla soundtrack

A piece by my teacher Judith Shatin:

[brewski]

Gabriela Lena Frank: La Llorona (2007) (Paul Silverthorne, viola / Rebecca Miller, conductor / Young Professionals, UK Première, London 8th June 2008). Was curious about this after discussion elsewhere, and Silverthorne is a longtime favorite. This is the sole recording I can find, and it's very good.

Trying to find out a bit more about the "Young Professionals" ensemble, but no luck: if anyone has any info, please weigh in.

Incredible! I do love Goossens' orchestral pieces, above all his two symphonies -- but didn't find time for his main oratorio yet. Should I give it a serious try, too? 

I would say if you enjoy his symphonies and concertos, this one is right in line with those. At least if you are not anathema to chorus and voices, that is.

You can spy on YouTube to see if it is up your alleyway.

[Der lächelnde Schatten]

Now playing this entire Bach Gardiner disc:

[steve ridgway]

Ravel: Boléro (arr. Colosseum)

The electric guitars and drums add a lively touch to this piece .

[Madiel]

Mozart: the main thing being the "Colloredo" Serenade K.203 (which is now regarded as probably not written for Colloredo...)



The Serenade is very enjoyable. Though listening to volume 9 did confirm something that was bugging me about volume 8 with the "Haffner" Serenade: I just don't love the acoustic of the Haffner one (not the same recording venue), it's a bit too distant-sounding. The Colloredo is far more to my taste acoustically.

Much of the rest of the disc is taken up by very short dances, some fairly early in Mozart's career and some quite late (K.610, 164, 123 and 606). They are pleasant but don't really have time to make a deep impression, nor are they aiming to make one. Having said that, I do rather like that the K.164 minuets clearly have trios even though each dance is only 2 minutes long.

And then there's the Fantasia K.608 which is a piece originally written for a mechanical organ, which makes a grand and impressive conclusion.

9 albums down (10 if you include the Posthorn Serenade on Phillips) and only one more to go.

Beethoven: the wind sextet op.71, and the partially preserved quintet for horns, oboe and bassoon.
