What were you listening to? (CLOSED)

[George]

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.

LOL!!

Well, knock me out!  I think that's the first time you've posted anything to this thread that dates from more than a century ago since I joined here a few weeks ago. 

I have that one--and knocking somewhere in the back of a storage case is the original CD issue of the 3 and 4 harpsichord concertos (if it's not one of the ones I donated to the library a while back).

Out of cherries? 

Nah...   I need to complete my set of Bach Harpsichord Concerti.

BUSONI    6 Sonatinas,  Toccata,   Indian Diary
Roland Pöntinen, piano
    -- very musical playing, he has the ability to cope with the more difficult passages without making them sound like they might not be manageable.  No banging.
There is an inexpensive edition of the scores (sans Toccata) from Dover, full-size.

BRUCKNER:          5th Symphony             
/ Vienna Symphony Orchestra, Volkmar Andreae

A great version, very dramatic and with superb cohesion. The tempo is fast, similar to Furtwängler (1942).
Andreae: 68'
Furtwängler: 67'
Jochum (Concertgebow, 1964) 75'

The first and 4th movement are exceptional, powerful, dynamic and very dramatic. In the 2nd, Andreae is good but Jochum in his version with the Concertgebow is out of reach, in one of his most inspired moments.

Schubert - Piano Trios
András Schiff (piano)
Yuuko Shiokawa (violin)
Miklós Perényi (cello)

Excellent renditions, great sound quality, all performed with a certain kind of "objectivity":



Now here:

I bought this some time ago, but could never seem to find the right mood to listen. It's enjoyable. No idea how to pronounce the composer's names though! For the record, it's a disc of Kjerulf & Sjogren:

Hmmm, looks inviting enough!

Alwyn: Symphony #4; Violin Concerto (Mordkovitch, Hickox, LSO)

Great stuff!

Hmmm, looks inviting enough!

If you like romantic piano pieces, this may be of interest. Although, some pieces were clearly more interesting than others. And I preferred Sjorgen to the other guy (at least on first hearing). Still, if you are looking for something off the beaten path, this probably is out there. Incidentally, these Genesis discs tend to be higher priced with rarely a sale.

The first part of Handel's Alcina for me.
