What are you listening 2 now?

[Der lächelnde Schatten]

C'mon(!)  you gotta lurve this...... 

Oh, absolutely. I still love the string orchestra version of Verklärte Nacht (esp. that Karajan recording). I just love the chamber version even more.

I've turned on the live stream of the Karl Henning Ensemble! Music should start in about 10 minutes.

Music for the Court of Maximilian II.
See back cover for details.
Cinquecento.
Recorded in the Dominikanerkirche, Retz, Austria, on 17–19 June 2006.


This is the debut recording by Cinquecento, and a good one it is. Worth buying, if only for Vaet's masterly motets, done to perfection. The counters are acceptable, no hooting in sight! The recording has a nice Church ambiance, and adds greatly to the success of this disc.

@Symphonic Addict has sent me down the Luis Gianneo adventure!

It was nice until the audio dropped out.

I didn't have that issue. I think my favorite was the last piece, Fantasy on When Jesus Wept, Op. 162a. I played William Schuman's setting for band (from New England Triptych), so it was interesting to hear what another composer did with the same melody.

@Symphonic Addict has sent me down the Luis Gianneo adventure!

Surprising interlude in the finale of the otherwise folksy/traditional Leo Brouwer trio, where he stops to quote...Shostakovich's Fifth?!...at length.

Gianneo supplies two dances, and then a 24-minute trio that is the largest piece on the disc. It must be an early work, as it has some Latin accented bits but is mostly a passionate late romantic work.

Linarol Consort.
Music for the Richest Man in the World.
Sixteenth-century works for Viol Consort.
Linarol Consort.
Viols by Richard Jones of Powfoot, Scotland.
Pitch: A=460hz.
Recorded at Treowen, Monmouthshire on 11–13 February 2020.

To me an unknown ensemble, and a debut on CD. Volume II is also available. This is really good, well performed and recorded, and a superb choice of composers. I enjoy this. I look forward to the next instalment. Very special indeed.

[Der lächelnde Schatten]

Now playing Copland Danzón Cubano

[Der lächelnde Schatten]

Now playing Chávez Baile

[Der lächelnde Schatten]

Now playing all three of Nielsen's concerti

[Christo]

Another marvelous CD: Ruth Gipps (1921-1999), Coronation Procession Op. 41, Ambarvalia Op. 70 , Horn concerte Op. 58, Cringlemire Garden Op. 39, Symphony No. 1 in f, Op. 22. Martin Owen (horn), BBC Philharmonic under Rumon Gamba

I've now listened to the first five of the eight concerti for orchestra by Petrassi, conducted by Tamayo.



I have the feeling I should enjoy this music more than I do. I think my issue is the audio, which only seems to bloom in a satisfying way in the loud passages. The softer passages strike me as distant and thin. Tamayo's other recording, of the Partita and Piano concerto struck me much more successful from and audio point of view. I'll probably listen to the remaining works in the set, but look forward to La Vecchia's forthcoming release on Naxos.



I also intend to revisit the old Previtali recording of the Concerto for Orchestra No 1 (Santa Cecelia) which was released on CD by Eloquence, but which seems to have vanished from the marketplace.

There's also this complete set of Petrassi's Concertos for Orchestra on Warner Fonit, which is rather obscure nowadays:

Thanks, I wasn't aware of that set.

[Der lächelnde Schatten]

Thanks, I wasn't aware of that set.

That makes two of us as your post set me off to see if there are other recordings of these works besides Tamayo. Both sets are rare to say the least.
