Someone I know once compared Tubin's 4th Symphony to it.

Well, that seems like a prompt for me to revisit the Tubin, Jeffrey.

Boulez

Livre pour Quatuor

Quatuor Diotima

Nice!

[Karl Henning]

Mozart keyboard variations, K.500 and K.501

The K.501 are for piano 4-hands, and I have to admit my interest went up when I found there was a recording by Perahia and Lupu.

The fact that they stand by the piece signifies!

Anton Bruckner Symphony No. 4 in E Flat Major, 1878/80 Version (1880 with Bruckner's 1886 revisions) - Ed. Leopold Nowak
Mozarteumorchester Salzburg, Ivor Bolton

[Karl Henning]

Unfortunately the national classical radio station does her music to death. Australian and accessible? Perfect. Let's play her shorter pieces at every possible opportunity.

To be honest I'd probably be more interested if I hadn't heard her name quite so many times when I happen to have the radio on.

I feel your pain.

Hugo Wolf : The Anniversary Edition
Various Artists



There are two very good complete collections of the lieder of Hugo Wolf: the one pictured above which came out in 2010, and the 11 volume series (2013-2023) on Stone Records. Volume 1 is pictured below.

Quatuor Diotima

Joining you with this, Jan (second listen for me of this recording).

[nico1616]

Beethoven piano sonata n°4 opus 7.
After Levit and Kempff, Arrau is really something special. It is a much richer sound compared to the others, I love it.

[Cato]

Now playing Villa-Lobos Floresta do Amazonas



A sprawling nearly 80 minute work, which I haven't listened into in ages (or so it seems). I highly recommend this to the V-L fans who love Chôros No. 10, "Rasga o Coração" or any of the larger scale Chôros and want to hear a work on an even larger scale. As a member of another forum once said this is everything, but the kitchen sink jungle music. You don't know where exactly the music is going, but the journey is wondrous, intoxicating and exotic.

A music professor named Karl Haas had a radio show for decades called Adventures in Good Music.

Villa-Lobos was an obvious favorite of his: your last sentence reminded me of his show, because of the Adventure involved in exploring the music of Villa-Lobos.

For those who might now know Villa-Lobos, Karl Haas sometimes played this piece as a way to introduce it:

Now playing Chávez Sinfonia India

Very cool! They don't make radio programs like that anymore.

I'm quite overdo myself. Gorgeous symphony from Tubin.

[Cato]

Very cool! They don't make radio program like that anyone.

No, unfortunately!  The same goes for major, prime-time networks offering concerts by major orchestras.  I still recall NBC broadcasting Toscanini concerts on television: of course, the sound left much to be desired, depending on the kind of television you had!

Karl Haas also pushed Francis Poulenc as an example of contemporary music:

Richard Arnell

Arnell rates very highly with me. He is a great British composer, I think.

Wholeheartedly agreed! I praise myself lucky that I bought all the recordings of his orchestral and Chamber music. For me Arnell is a genius.

Sculthorpe: Piano Sonatina and Piano Sonata

Somewhat surprised to hear how serious and pensive these works are, but none the worse for that. They pack a lot of great ideas in their short lengths. Favourably impressed.
