Recordings Of The Month

[TheGSMoeller]

The new Ticciati/Scottish CO disc of Berlioz Nuits and Cleopatre is Gramophone's recording of the month for June.

Anyone have info from other publications and which disc(s) have been chosen as their ROTM?

International Record Review's monthly outstanding list:

MusicWeb's list tends to be very long because, although many reviewers will only nominate one recording per month (I only nominate about 8-10 per year), we have probably two dozen regular reviewers. Thus this month it looks like there are 20.

My own RotM, by the way, is HIP Dussek, Mendelssohn, and Beethoven:



Next month it will be Lera Auerbach's new cello CD on Cedille.

Great! Thanks for the posts. I would love to keep this thread current.

Dvorak's Stabat Mater from Herreweghe.

That Shostakovich recording with Bertrand on Harmonia Mundi should have won 'Recording of the Month'! My goodness I've listened to that recording several times in a row already. The performance of the Cello Sonata alone should win multiple awards!

Cool, I'll have to check it out, thanks, John!

I enjoyed the Holmboe CD on a first listen; will try to hear it again next week.

Actually ClassicsToday stopped doing Discs of the Month - that recording was issued 10 months ago. ClassicsTodayFrance is even more open about not updating the "of the Month" box.

Recording-of-last-September!

The last September? Sounds ominous...

Maybe it's so damn good that nothing has matched it. Disc Of Many Months!

i wonder if it would be possible in this day and age for a fat, ugly, but supremely talented young woman to have a career as a classical recording artist...

Rather off-topic? I started a new thread for this conversation.

I didn't nominate this HIP Mendelssohn 2CD set for Recording of the Month, but my editors thought that the quibbles I had were small enough that they could go ahead and bestow it the title anyway. I don't mind.

It's the complete Felix & Fanny piano trios on period instruments, with a different piano used in each piece.

Somewhere, Saul is weeping tears of Mendelssohnian joy . . . .

[The new erato]

He always liked a good Fanny!

For some reason I dare not explain this seems to resonate more than "Somewhere, Saul is weeping tears of Mendelssohnian joy . . . .". I do not give a hoot about Saul but Fanny...well I do not know.

[Karl Henning]

Nor, of course, ought you to [give a hoot]. Still: don't pollute!
