What are you listening to now?

[Ken B]

Oh, you say that to all the composers!

And to Delius. That's why he mentions it specifically.

JS Bach: Trio Sonatas  BWV 530, 525, 529;  Duettos BWV 802-805          Palladian Ensemble

Good stuff, Peter!
I'll give that disc a spin too, from the twofer.

Hi John - these works were written in the first decade of the 1900s (w/ mainly Casals prompting and encouragement) - but the music is late 19th century Romantic (Brahms, Bruch, & Dvorak come to mind) - the orchestral writing is full and varied, often quite lyrical, and w/ plenty for the cellists to show off their talents - see Dubins thoughts in my PDF attachment for a lot more detail.

Moór was prolific (Dubins lists the number of his works from a dedicated German site) but much is unpublished and very little recorded - other than the cello CD, Amazon USA has just a few other discs of 'mixed' composers.  Dubins makes a rather bold statement about the symphonies possibly being the equal of Dvorak's similar works - well?  Dave

Very nice. Thanks for the feedback, Dave. I may get this Hungaroton recording at some point.

Webern's Symphony, Op. 21. An outstanding work. ...

What a coincidence! On the way home from work this evening, I was listening to this:



The Three Orchestral songs, the Symphony op. 21 and Das Augenlicht, op. 26.

It was a very, very pleasant drive...

Nice! I have another Webern/Boulez (Sony) box. It's in my car now and I was too lazy to get it.

Wow. Just wow. The harmonic progressions in the Largo are just breathtaking.

So far, very fine!

Just finishing:



A beautiful, moving farewell to life as we know it. Certainly one of the greatest British symphonies.

Karlo,
I am getting the sense that our collections have a fair amount of overlap!

Magnificent!

Bizet: symphony in C. A bubbly performance from the  little known Paul Hupperts and Utrecht Symhony Orchestra.

Bruckner: symphony in E (no. 7). BP under Barenboim. I review this (shortly) in the Abbey.
