Get this month's BBC Music Magazine for the cover disc. It's the first time this recording has ever been on CD.

Ah, BBC Mag.  Not been to the newsagent shop recently...will send the Mother in Law tomorrow, cheers  ;)

Should be a nice compliment to last years Boult 1st

"Two possibilities exist: Either we are alone in the Universe or we are not. Both are equally terrifying"      (Arthur C. Clarke)

Solitary Wanderer

'I lingered round them, under that benign sky: watched the moths fluttering among the heath and harebells, listened to the soft wind breathing through the grass, and wondered how any one could ever imagine unquiet slumbers for the sleepers in that quiet earth.' ~ Emily Bronte

Nice one!  :)

Me: Yudina Live in Moscow.  8)

I've never heard the finale to LvB's Op. 111 so fast! She's faster than even Backhaus.  :-\

DVD:

Brahms Symphony #2
Mozart Symphony #26

Perhaps not the best playing Munch ever got from an orchestra, but these three performances are so wonderfully full of understanding of the composers' expressive worlds that they can stand up against any others I've heard.



A less extrovert Concerto for Orchestra than most, but the long line and the smaller details come through so wonderfully in Ancerl's hands.
"I don't at all mind actively disliking a piece of contemporary music, but in order to feel happy about it I must consciously understand why I dislike it. Otherwise it remains in my mind as unfinished business."

I must admit listening to the Alla Pavolla discs put me in the mood for the following...

Szymanowski Harnasie Sym 4 Maz 1&2 Theme and variation for solo piano
Wit and Semkow
a beautiful disc....prob my favorite Szymanowski disc..

Panufnik Lutoslawski Szymanski Piano Concertos Ewa Poblocka

Heaven, love the Szymanski alot..

Regarding the Pavlova discs, they are delightful but very light and easy. I must admit some of the pieces ramble on and on... much much tooo  long......

Scriptavolant

Not this edition, probably the previous, but I couldn't find the cover on the web. Same performers.

Mozart

Mozart C major PC
k. 503
The majestic happy movement.
