What are you listening 2 now?

I also think more broadly that there should be a major reorientation of the symphonic repertoire to properly integrate South American and Mexican composers.

Absolutely agree.

Thank you for you know what. 😂

Mozart Cessation (Serenade) KV100, Marriner

A surprisingly substantial piece written by a 13 year old Mozart. Highlights are a prominent use of horn, a lovely second movement Andante, and the minor key trio of the third menuetto. Marriner/ASMF is very effective.

I had a listen too today, after I hooked up the headphones I hadn't used in a while — just wanted to see what they were capable of...

Before heading out for the day --- Elgar In the South, Op. 50 "Alassio"

[Harry]

William Walton.
Orchestral works.
See back cover for details.
Charlie Lovell-Jones, Violin.
Sinfonia of London, John Wilson.
Recording venue: Church of St Augustine, Kilburn, London; 11 and 12 January 2024 (Symphonic Suite from Troilus and Cressida) and 29–31 July 2024 (other works).

Second rerun, New release.
Second hearing reveals even more detail, and my understanding of the works has grown. I can now better place them, and find the treasure hidden insight the Violin concerto, which escaped me previously. All is exceptionally well recorded (SOTA) and performed. Worth a try for anyone interested in Walton

Very nice, @Harry. Are you streaming this or did you buy the CD? Just curious.

Streaming John, I seldom buy CD'S these days.

Ah, okay. Thanks. It looks like a great disc. I'm not too terribly fond of Wilson, but I listened to some of this recording (mainly the Portsmouth Point Overture) when it was first-released and rather enjoyed it. The Violin Concerto seems to be the main attraction and it's interesting that Chandos has recorded this work at least three times now.

I have a soft spot for this symphony; a pity the finest performance IMHO, with the Aidelade SO under David Measham, has never appeared on CD:

Kurt Weill

Joining you with this one. 

I used to have Atherton's recording of Weill's Kleine Dreigroschenmusik and Mahagonny-Songspiel on LP, and haven't listened to it in decades..

I'm guessing (hoping) that CDs 5 & 6 include these recordings:


which are the best versions of both that I've ever heard, previously unavailable on CD.

Henri Pousseur: Couleurs croisées and La seconde apothéose de Rameau, conducted by Pierre Bartholomée.



Both works are mentioned in the recently published correspondence between Pousseur and Pierre Boulez, which I've been skimming through since it he book was delivered to me a couple of days ago. Couleurs... (from 1968) was dedicated to, and premiered by, Boulez, and Pousseur sent the CD pictured above to Boulez upon its release in 2004.
