[Antoine Marchand]

Hint, the guy now goes by the name of Stephen Kovacevich.

Yes, "Bishop" was the surname of his stepfather and he never wanted that name.

[Scarpia]

Whoops...typo...you mean "Stephen."    And I have that very LP.  Perhaps I'll spin it later today to compare!

I no longer have the LP, but have it in this form:



I remember the LP as sounding better.

Late Baroque afternoon for me - a repeat listen and another new arrival; both on the excellent Accent label:

Veracini, Francesco (1690-1750) - Flute Sonatas w/ Arcadia - wonderful disc if you like PI flute chamber works from this era!

Fasch, Johann (1688-1758) - Wind Concerti w/ Il Gardellino - own about a half dozen discs of this prolific composer but no overlap -

Outstanding! Mozart Piano Concerto No. 21. Brendel. ASMF/Marriner. Great shading/nuances by Brendel. Excellent balance with the orchestra.

a pair of British Heliodor lp releases of DGG originals of contemporary composers (Schubert 1797 - 1828, Berwald 1796 - 1868)
SCHUBERT  and BERWALD    Third Symphonies
BERWALD  Symphony 2  "Singulière"   SCHUBERT Symphony 4 "Tragic"
Berlin Philharmonic       Igor Markevitch, cond.
mono recordings, with strings more forward  (smaller number of microphones than Karajan would have used?),  nice vigourous performances, much pleasure to have heard these again. Very "live" sounding.

First listen to Dausgaard's Beethoven Ninth:

First listen to Dausgaard's Beethoven Ninth:

Doesn't Dausgaard also record for BIS?

[SonicMan46]

Khachaturian, Aram (1903-1978) - Violin & Cello Concertos w/ Mordkovitch on violin & Wallfisch on cello - believe that Chandos released these on separate discs and has now combined them into this offering - quite superb!

[Sadko]

Lars Vogt



playing Haydn, Brahms, Schubert, Lachenmann

[Coopmv]

Now playing this CD, which should have arrived before Christmas from MDT but had not, for a first listen since waiting for 11 months is not an option ...   

[Sadko]

Prokofiev: Sonata no. 7, Concerti no. 3 & no. 5 (Samson Francois, Philharmonia Orchestra, Witold Rowicki)

I have some of Francois' Chopin, and I can't say I like these recordings. I don't understand why he is so highly appreciated. But this Prokofiev recording I always liked.

Khachaturian, Aram (1903-1978) - Violin & Cello Concertos w/ Mordkovitch on violin & Wallfisch on cello - believe that Chandos released these on separate discs and has now combined them into this offering - quite superb!

Yes, that is a superb recording. I love Khachaturian.
