Dmitri Dmitriyevich
Symphony No. 10 in E Minor, Opus 93
Czech Philharmonic Orchestra

Brilliant account of perhaps my favorite Shostakovich symphony.

[Hector]

Dmitri Dmitriyevich
Symphony No. 10 in E Minor, Opus 93
Czech Philharmonic Orchestra
Karel Ančerl

Brilliant account of perhaps my favorite Shostakovich symphony.

Then you should hear, if you still can, the Prom performance from Dudamel and the Simon Bolivar Youth Orchestra of Venezuela which blew most of us, that were able to hear it live, away the other evening!

For me, the Missa Solemnis from that all time good egg, Cherubini.

My kind of music, live from Munich last year from Muti just released on EMI. The 'Credo' is astonishing!

Is Muti determined to perform all of Cherubini's choral music and EMI to record it? I hope so!

Sibelius
Symphony No. 6 in D Minor, Opus 104
NY Phil / Lenny

[bhodges]

James, in the new YouTube Video Library section, do check out the Boulez/Berlin performance of that piece, if you haven't already.  It was taped in a church (not sure where) with an acoustic that might be just a tad too resonant for this particular work, but never mind.  It's still fantastic.

One of my favorite Naxos discs, indeed.

I found that one just a pale shadow compared to the Gromadsky/Kondrashin recording.

I found that one just a pale shadow compared to the Gromadsky/Kondrashin recording.

I'd agree, though I'm glad to have an easily available recording of the fascinating Five Fragments.

I'm listening to the Stravinsky edition discs with the works for piano and orchestra and the violin concerto. Great stuff.

Good morning/day to all! 

Please, do tell how that is! 
It's still on my shopping list.

Mahler's IV, 5th of January 1953
Irmgard Seefried/ NYPO/ Bruno Walter

Wonderful performance, (one of) the best I know.
It sparkles and shines from start to finish and Walter keeps the tension all the time.
It is a very swift and lively edge-of-your-seat approach - lucky me! 
I hate Mahler's music to be dragged, dragged and dragged.....with all life s-l-o-w-l-y seeping out....

Q

[orbital]

Arthur Lourie  - Nocturne, Mazurkas and Preludes
Stanchinsky - Preludes

How come these are not recorded more? 

[Drasko]

Mahler's IV, 5th of January 1953
Irmgard Seefried/ NYPO/ Bruno Walter

Arthur Lourie  - Nocturne, Mazurkas and Preludes
Stanchinsky - Preludes

Excellent choices Gentlemen

Right now listening to Sofronitsky playing the most gorgeous, waltzing Schumann Arabeske ever commited to tape.

[Que]

Some more of this.

Brahms - op 34 F Minor Piano Quintet Richter w/ ? (the file says Komitas SQ but I seriously doubt it)

A sober and unaffected interpretation as well as the rest of this box, which everybody ought to know.
