And: Bading Cello Concerto #2

[Harry]

Vincent d'Indy.
Orchestral Works, Volume II.
Symphony No. 2.
Tableaux de voyage.
Karadec.

Iceland SO, Rumon Gamba.

Beautiful music, well performed and recorded, yet the music itself did not touch me. Why I wonder. All works have genius in it, but I fail to see it. It did not bore me, on the contrary, but the click for now is not there. O, well, maybe later.

The Dutchification of SpringRite continues:

Gouvy - Symphony No.6, etc (Mercier, Saarbrücken RSO, 2007-03-03)

[DavidW]

I love that recording James!!

[Scarpia]

Symphony No. 8 from this release.



Very interesting music, lots of stunning sonorities, organized around the development of small motifs.  More listenings will be needed to appreciate it more fully.

[Novi]

Good evening all.



The first concerto from this one. It's been a couple of years since I've heard this one - I've tended to go to the second - and I'd forgotten how much I liked it.

Then some Mozart:
Symphony no. 39, Harnoncourt/RCO from the anniversary box.

[Christo]

The Dutchification of SpringRite continues:

We feel deeply honoured, thank you indeed. 

(Yet Théodore Gouvy was more or less an Alsatian and as such both French and German (but not Dutch, not even the most expansive nationalists here claim that region  )

Now playing CD3 from this set - S5 and S6 ...

[Opus106]

Protopopov
Piano Sonata 2
Steffen Schleiermacher



I bet Bruce would like this. 

The names are unheard-of enough for that to be true, but the music is pushing the right keys at this ungodly hour for me to like it... in which case Bruce may find it too tame to warrant his interest.

Mozart.
Complete Symphonies.
CD I.
Symphony No. 1,4,5,6 & in F major, G major, the "Old Lambach"second version.

I love the early Symphonies by Mozart especially No. 1, which I think is one of the best he has written. The playing by The English Concert is nothing short of marvelous, and the recording is top notch. Pinnock draws out the impossible, and the rewards are a plenty, excellent detail, drive, and insight.

[SonicMan46]

Bach, JS - Trio Sonatas - a re-listening - outstanding music making on period instruments - 

Haydn, J - Keyboard Sonatas - finishing up the 3rd disc in this excellent set on fortepiano(s) - 

 

[Antoine Marchand]

Mozart.
Complete Symphonies.
CD I.
Symphony No. 1,4,5,6 & in F major, G major, the "Old Lambach"second version.

I love the early Symphonies by Mozart especially No. 1, which I think is one of the best he has written.

You are the first person that I hear to say that, Harry, and I wholeheartly agree with you. The Symphony No. 1 is one of my very favorites too.
