What were you listening to? (CLOSED)

[Wanderer]

Weighty (in a good sense), passionate readings. Very nice!

[Christo]

Georgian, post-Shostakovich, late-Soviet neoclassicism, very much to my liking:
Otar Taktakishvili (1924-1989), Concerto No. 2 for Violin and Chamber Orchestra (1987)
Liana Issakakadze, Violin, Georgian Chamber Orchestra under Liana Issakadze (rec. 1992)

                       

[Brian]

Maybe she should hook up with(musically, I mean ) David Lloyd-Jones

Let's hope that's only in the musical sense! 

Not a bad idea, though. Naxos badly needs a recording of Coleridge-Taylor's glorious violin concerto.

...and Alwyn, Bax, Bliss....not to mention less well known British composers

[Drasko]

I think I prefer Diptique Mediterraneen to larger Poeme des rivages, less massive more shimmering.

Then going to listen to the Juilliard playing same piece from the later 60's set

You know, Naxos should hire us to do their series planning. 

Currently listening to a recent Naxos gem, Faure's cello music as performed by Maria Kliegel and Nina Tichman. Beautiful!
