What are you listening 2 now?

[AnotherSpin]

Op. 2 No. 3
Op. 53 in C Major "Waldstein"
No. 26 Op. 81a "Les Adieux"

At its start, Kim's Beethoven project is taking shape slowly but surely, with a quiet promise of something remarkable.

[Florestan]

[Harry]

Counter tenor?    Or a bit sedate? 

I did look at the other options: the British (Chandos Baroque Players, Hyperion), a Dutch recording on Globe and René Jacobs conducting AND singing (DHM). Well, no chance in hell that I would pick that last recording! 

I was a bit disappointed that there is no recording by my favourite Zelenka conductors: Adam Viktora (Nibiru) and Václav Luks (Accent).

Both actually!  And sedate it was!

[Christo]

Learning Danish put me off the use of Ø to make something look Scandinavian (or just to make it look trendy).

lØØk trendy, you mean.

[ChamberNut]

Guess I won't be inverting the N in ChamberNut. 

[Florestan]

Guess I won't be inverting the N in ChamberNut. 

The Russian for N is actually H. The inverted N actually stands for i (as in police).  

[Madiel]

Guess I won't be inverting the N in ChamberNut. 

Just try throwing in a couple of stray accent marks or an umlaut.

[Traverso]

Bach

Magnificat

Kuhnau

Der Gerechte Kommt Um

 

[Madiel]

Mozart: Piano Concerto no.24 in C minor



Yep. One of his best.

[Selig]

An important series that continues to impress...

[Florestan]

[Traverso]

Bach

CD 1

[Que]

Both actually!  And sedate it was!

I totally agree. This just doesn't hit the sweet spot - not engaging whatsoever...

[Der lächelnde Schatten]

Now playing Bloch Violin Sonata No. 2, "Poème Mystique"

[foxandpeng]

William Schuman
Symphonies 3, 5 and 8
Leonard Bernstein
NYPO

I'm often not bright enough to figure out why some recordings are better than others. In this case, I get it. Well, I know that this isn't my favourite recording of these symphonies, anyway. Not sure I know why, but the Naxos recordings are far more my thing. Recording values? Maybe. Who knows?

Back in my box!

[SonicMan46]

Bach, CPE - Trio Sonatas from the recordings below - CPE wrote over 30 of these works - these discs contain 16 (w/ 4 duplications) noted in bold (superscript for the CDs); most have a flute although the London Baroque and Purcell Quartett use two violins - Dave

An exciting Mathis der Maler Symphony.

G'day!

[Der lächelnde Schatten]

Now playing Sibelius Tulen Synty (Origin Of Fire), Op. 32 (Original Version)

[Iota]

The music is breathtakingly lovely. It comes in smaller segments than I'd expect in a Mass say, and frequently paused and moved on sooner than I wanted it to, but nonetheless wondrous listening. Utopia the ensemble, who are new to me, are also deserving of the highest praise, I find it hard to imagine it being done more beautifully.

That's what I also said some weeks ago, and so far that goes for all their recordings.
