Listening to the fourth CD in the Stravinsky box. I picked this one to begin with because I've never heard Agon before. Good stuff! Apollo and Jeu de cartes are also on the disc.

Do you know if there's a complete list of contents anywhere? Mdt's is very general - I'm particularly looking for late works.

though there are few mistakes, piano concerto is concerto for piano and winds and movements for piano are missing, think everything else is there

Ignaz Holzbauer.

5 Symphonies.

L'Orfeo Barockorchester/Michi Gaigg.

Mein lieber mann, this is dynamite. Listen and stand in awe. Propulsive music, with plenty of melodic content to last you for at least a week. Inventive, creative, and sublime writing for strings and winds, the horns make a good show of the notes they get, and the performance is one which makes you sit up for 64:00 minutes.
Don't think, buy!

Goodmorning to you Bill!
I have all the Mozart music on those famous Philips collection, the boxes, inclusive the Symphonies and many orchestral works, all done by the ASMF/Marriner.
Its ages since I played them.

Thank you Drasko, looking like a must have.

Gurn is also mad about Holzbauer!
I think I bought this one on his recommendation.
And he was right, great, greater, greatest!

Bartók: The Miraculous Mandarin (Boulez/Chicago) - Pretty close to sublime, in my book.  Boulez works up a furious amount of energy and tension and the playing from the Chicago musicians hardly gets any better.  (Rhetorical query I've asked before: what is it about the CSO and Bartók, with so many fine recordings?  Reiner...Solti...and now Boulez.)

Am listening to this glorious set as well (received them yesterday, from JPC):

                                 

JPC lists the works (in German) as:

S.Eliot in memoriam"; A Sermon; Anthem; Threni; Chant du Rossignol; Epitaphium; Danses concertantes; Double Canon; Abraham and Isaac; Aldous Huxley in memoriam; Requiem Canticles

A quick scan of my booklet shows, that this summing up might be complete. And at first glance, the set does include the complete later works.

Niels W. Gade & J.P.E Hartmann.

A Folk Tale.
Complete Ballet Music in three acts, to the ballet August Bournonville.
First performed at the Royal Danish Theatre on 20 March 1858.

The Danish Radio Sinfonietta/Harry Damgaard.

O, my dears, if you knew how much I enjoy ballet, and how much I revel in this ballet, you all would be glad for me, sure thing.
It always makes me happy, ballet music that is, always works like a charm. To dive into the world of dancing and whirling, and immerse into the movements, and behold the perfection, that my friends is bliss, utter bliss.
This recording is just fine. But alas OOP, and I could not find a image of it anymore.

Bruckner Symphony No. 9 performed by Wand/NDRSO live in Musikhalle Hamburg. Massive, powerful, controlled yet emotional. Beautiful perfomance.

[bhodges]

Peter Lieberson: Neruda Songs (Lorraine Hunt Lieberson/Levine/BSO, live recording, November 2005) - It's hard to separate the creation of these with the untimely death of the singer -- and hard not to feel a little sad -- but these are lovely, haunting works.  Lieberson's idiom is basically tonal, with the vocal part riding above what sounds like an ensemble sized somewhere between a chamber group and a conventional orchestra.  Hunt Lieberson sounds marvelous, and Levine and the BSO are their usual glorious selves.

Hello Harry and all.  I really enjoy these Philips' recordings.  We still have house guests and are having a "blast", but my listening time has been cropped considerably.
