What were you listening to? (CLOSED)

[kishnevi]

Listening to CD 1 of this set. Suites 1-4, HWV 426-429
[asin]B0017HFR3U[/asin]

Considerably less than Bach's keyboard works, but equal to anything else produced by the Baroque.

Ligeti: Hamburg Concerto

[Conor71]

Dvorak: Symphony No. 9 In E Minor, Op. 95, B 178, "From The New World"


Just finished listening to Dvorak's 6th and In Natures Realm Overture from this excellent set and mighty good they were too! - now onto more familiar territory.

My favourite version has to be this one:



I had to ban it from the car while driving, after this CD made my eyes all blurry every time I listened to it... very moving stuff!

Well that's a good one too. The singing is excellent and thrilling at times, though the overall sound shows its age a bit. I have it with this cover:

[val]

BRAHMS:        Piano Trio n. 1 opus 8                  / Katchen, Suk, Starker

Katchen, Suk and Starker recorded my favorite version. An extraordinary lyricism, in special because of the sublime performance of Starker. As an example: listen Starker phrasing the motif of the 2nd part of the Adagio. It is unique !

The Trio Wanderer is not far, also very lyric. The 3rd movement, however, doesn't seem as inspired as the version with Starker, Suk and Katchen. But they give the best Scherzo I ever heard.

In third place I would refer the version of Stern, Rose and Istomin. More tension, very dramatic, but never the same degree of emotion of the other two versions. And Rose is not Starker ...

Only Beethoven today
Let's start with:

Symphony No.1

[asin]B000056OBA[/asin]

[Sergeant Rock]

This is fast becoming a favorite box set. Like the early symphonies, I find Mozart's "adolescent" quartets not only attractive pieces but really good. Listening now to the disc with K.159, 160, 168 and 169.

Good afternoon all 

Resuming where I left it yesterday : Beethoven No.6



Edit : Celi scared the hell out of me yesterday by the way - during the 5th (can't remember which movement), I suddenly heard a "dah daaah daaah daaaaaah" in the headphones... I just jumped off my seat and checked if someone was standing in my flat behind me....

Where did you get that recording? I have Lewis's recording of D958 & D784, and he is certainly great in Schubert.
