That's a recording of both symphonies I'm very fond it.

[karlhenning]

I did. 

Even as we expected it, it was a hoot coming in!

Hendrik rather than Louis, Sarge?

Of course, now I've seen the album cover : )

[Sergeant Rock]

Hendrik rather than Louis, Sarge?

Yes. The two discs contain only Hendrik's compositions.

Listening now to his First Symphony.

Schubert

Grand Duo in C major, D812

Christoph Eschenbach & Justus Frantz, piano duet
Brilliant Classics



I've only played 2 of the 4 discs so far.....but I'm afraid that is all I can play, until I buy another stereo tomorrow.

Reason is:  This performance of the Grand Duo was so sizzling, it blew up my damn sterero.  It is super, uber kick ass!!!  BLAZING HOT!!  Wow!!!!   

Corey (Coco), are you listening?     You've got to get this!

Ooh, I will look for it, thank you!

Oh, so not a setting of the Wilde poem, Bruce?

It's a setting of this letter. (The piece is about 30 minutes; I don't think it uses the entire text.)
