What are you listening to now?

The last disc from Kuhnau's complete organ music. First choice recording.

Seconded.

Continuing my morning listening:

I'm enjoying this immensely.  I will admit, however, that I am prejudiced in favor of Badura-Skoda.  He just looks like such a sweet, kindly old gent that I really wanted (and expected) to enjoy this disc.  How can an 82 year old have this light, dancing touch?  Delightful and charming.

Every so often, we come into contact with music that we just connect with in some way. Some even rock our world.  Luis Briceno's El Fenix de Paris is such a disc for me. I have been entranced since I heard the first note of this disc. Brilliant!

How do you like this, Tasos?

[ZauberdrachenNr.7]

I saw this in a bargain bin. Should I go for it?

Q

Yupper! It's a bargain at full price!

Berlioz. He's always good.

Sibelius Symphony No.3 C major, Rozhdestvensky conducting the Moscow RSO




Sarge

[San Antone]

Berlioz. He's always good.

I think my current focus on Liszt has raised Berlioz's stock, IMO - I watched some of Damnation of Faust on medici.tv and was thoroughly engaged.  I should sit down with his music once my Liszt marathon is finished.

[Karl Henning]

Yes, they are a complementary pair!

[Obradovic]

Very appealing music from an able but conservative master

Wasn't able to partake in the Nielsen birthday celebrations (due to other listening obligations), but now I'm celebrating rather belatedly with this:



Listening to Saga-Drøm. Such a great work and performance.

[Madiel]

Today, I keep alternating between two works.

Haydn's Symphony No.82 in C - I really enjoy this recording, even though I know some people around here don't.

[asin]B000031WJC[/asin]

and Holmboe's Concerto No.6 (for violin) - well, this is the only recording, so have it for the music!

[asin]B00000467U[/asin]

[Karl Henning]

Haydn & Holmboe, an evergreen combination!

[king ubu]

Love this one a lot:

Yup! One was the other's favourite composer.
