What are you listening to now?

[Que]

If you read the booklet instead of the backside blurb (I just checked) it states some exceptions "Leonhardt in 1971 and 2009". No other exceptions noted.

Thanks. Speaking of the Sweelinck Edition, this just came in (starting to run OOP as well...BTW - check Amazon UK):

Kinsella: Symphony No. 7....

[amw]

Excerpts from some unknown-to-me Beethoven piano sonata sets have been playing in the background while I write and do stuff: Opp. 79, 81a, 90, & 106 by Daniel-Ben Pienaar and Opp. 2, 7 and 10/1 by Michaël Lévinas.

I prefer the latter somewhat I think—less wayward in tempo/rhythm, cleaner in terms of pedal sound (though still more than I'd like)—but have to say I haven't been listening very closely. I've no idea where these pianists stand in our Beethoven collectors's lists.

Let me not repeat dear Que, but I will anyway...."I told you so"

[Mandryka]

Then it must be new recordings, because the NM recordings date all from 1999 - 2001.

Though the inclusion of recordings by Gustav Leonhardt in the Glossa set provides a mystery in light of the information they provide: he passed away in January 2012....

Q

There are no recordings which are both in both the Glossa box and in the NM box. There are some excellent things in both boxes. I would, for example, be reluctant to be without the Asperen in NM, and the Winsemius in Glossa.

Into track 4, disc 1, this fullfills my high expectations.

As an aside: usually Rifkin gets very few love of classical music fans. And I find it quite heartbreaking.

Just some days ago, I read here some harsh words about his B Minor Mass which is one of my favourite recordings of this work. 

He used to talk about reeducating audiences to appreciate authentic performances. He was OVPP in big masses. He was not at all into decoding any spiritual meanings hidden in Bach's music in the Schweitzer/Harnoncourt way. He's a serious rebel. I'm not surprised to hear he rubbed some people up the wrong way.

Has anyone heard his recording of Willaert motets? I'm wondering whether it makes a good case out for Willaert, whose music has so far eluded me completely. But I can sense that there's something interesting harmonically going on so I don't want to give up on it.

Brahms' complete symphonies, overtures & Alto Rhapsody before.

Now, three feastable CDs of Wagner's orchestral music.

Outstanding box set, one of four.

[Todd]

Starting in on disc one from the big Kissin box.  I own only a handful of Kissin's discs, so most are first listens, as this one is.  Not the best Rach 2 I've heard, but very good nonetheless.
