What were you listening to? (CLOSED)

[Harry]

PS: Oh, just for Harry, I will listen to a few operettas as well -- Merry Widow, Land of Smiles...

Ohhh, that is so good from you, that way I will not feel entirely alone when I listen to operetta.
Thank you Paul!

Oops my 13.000 post. Not bad for a operetta lover.

Just for your 13,000th post, I will add Der Zarewitsch, my latest discovery, to the list! I got a DVD last week.

Which performance would that be Paul?
I order in a steady stream new, well old operetta recordings, the latest one being a original Lehar recording from 1942, for too much money, but its quite a marvelous recording.

It is a DG DVD with Stratas. Marvelous singing (I got a glimpse of that from the video Stratasphere which I have had for a long long time).

At my (in)famous brick and mortar bargain shop, Harry.  
There I paid €40 - in cash and under the counter...

Thats really a very good performance.

Bach Mass in B Minor - Harnoncourt

[Keemun]

Tchaikovsky: Orchestral Suite No. 1 (Svetlanov; USSR Symphony Orchestra)

[Gabriel]

Thats really a very good performance.

There are some specific choices - in tempi, for example - that I don't like too much, but in general I consider it as an excellent recording, Harry. I don't listen too often to the Lieder ohne Worte, but recent discussions led me to play them today. They are really beautiful.

Edvard Grieg: Symphony in c minor (Okko Kamu/Gothenburg SO)

[MN Dave]

Purcell Fantazias Rose Consort

[Harry]

Edvard Grieg: Symphony in c minor (Okko Kamu/Gothenburg SO)

Excellent choice, to my ears one of the best recordings of this work.

Tchaikovsky: Orchestral Suite No. 1 (Svetlanov; USSR Symphony Orchestra)

I have a weak spot for these performances, a bit strangely recorded, but so Tchaikovskian in sound.
Never bought other recordings, these still do well for me, never heard them better performed.

[owlice]

On the radio, the Beethoven Seventh Symphony, which I love and which never fails to put a smile on my face! Haitinck conducting, but I don't off-hand remember which orchestra.

Also on the radio, The Moldau, and after that, a bit of Vivaldi, as this week's CD of the week features Vivaldi oboe concerti.
