[Harry]

I am a man of repetition these days, listen more intent, and concentrated, so this one again.

[karlhenning]

Oh, and this past weekend I got a start at last on some Haydn:

Missa in tempore belli, H 22 no 9
Mass in B flat major, H 22 no 13, Schöpfungmesse

Symphonies nos. 1, 2 & 3

[Keemun]

Scriabin: Piano Concerto (Konstantin Scherbakov, piano; Igor Golovschin; Moscow SO).  Wonderfully played.

[Catison]

Nicolas Flagello
Missa Sinfonica
Ukrainian Radio Symphony
John McLaughlin Williams

Is that pretty enough for you?

[M forever]

I am sincerely sorry M.
I have completely misinterpreted your contextual use of the word 'reference'  -  thinking instead you meant something which could be "referred" to with a view to getting something better.  I too believe the Kempe Strauss set to be something of a benchmark.
What an asshole I can be.  I have removed the stupid post, I wish I could make it up better.  Put me on YOUR pay no mind list - alas I WILL continue to read and learn from your posts - it was an ignorant error and a completely unjustified attack on you.
I am most sorry to you and others I have clearly offended through MY IGNORANCE.

I am not that easily offended. Thanks anyway. At least that gave me an opportunity to rant about how nasty Karajan's Alpensinfonie sounds once again 

[mahler10th]

I am forgiven! 0:) 0:)
With The Alpine Symphony being in vogue here at the moment - it's up loud.
Listening to this.  It deserves every ear it can get.
Currently going through 'Gewitter und Strum' - massive and beautiful.

[Harry]

Alexander Gretchaninov.

Piano trio No.1 in C minor, and No. 2 in G major.
Cello sonata in e minor.
The Moscow Rachmaninov Trio.

A wonderful recording that deserves your attention.

[karlhenning]

Is that pretty enough for you?

Well, I would not wish it any sweeter than it is.

Now:

Vaughan Williams
Symphony No. 4
Bournemouth Symphony
Paul Daniel

[Opus106]

Beethoven Op. 59 No. 3

It was preceded by a super-fantastic Op. 131.

Alban Berg Quartet.

[Harry]

I tried again this fantastic huge romantic wave, and let it roll over me. Well worth the outlay, at least for me.
Its Paganini but with less fireworks, and better compositions.

[karlhenning]

Vaughan Williams
Symphony No. 4
Bournemouth Symphony
Paul Daniel

And the final two and a half minutes of the first movement are quiet and calm (though a kind of "charged calm").

Turns out to be fairly apt listening for this morning, what?

[Keemun]

Continuing with Scriabin, I'm now listening to Scriabin: Symphony No. 3 (Segerstam/Royal Stockholm PO).
