[Ken B]

Harris, 3
Schuman 3
NYPO, Bernstein
DG

I'm a solid devotee of his Sony Harris 3.
Update: The Harris is excellent, but the 1966 is excellenter. Excellentest in fact.

Bruckner: Symphony #8 in C Minor

[kishnevi]

Started the Mercury Living Presence 2 box tonight
This is CD 1
[asin]B0000057KO[/asin]

Finished listening to the Naxos set of Schuman symphonies this afternoon.
Need a few relistens, but 8 impressed me most.

And I like Schuman's symphonies more than Schumann's symphonies.

[Mirror Image]

Now:



Listening to Symphony No. 4, "The Inextinguishable," Op. 29, FS 76. Outstanding symphony and performance.

[PaulR]

Now for something completely different:

[asin]B00L5J4PYC[/asin]
String Quartet #8 in E Minor op. 59/2

[Wakefield]

One of the best recordings of these piano trios that I have heard:

[Autumn Leaves]

Now playing:



Symphony #2
Another week at work survived - time to unwind with some Friday evening listening

[Harry]

This is a surprisingly well recorded organ disc with music of unknown composers, but by no means slight music. It actually is of a high level.
Recommended.

[Autumn Leaves]

Now playing:



Symphony #9 for a first listen.

[Harry]

One of the best CD'S Singerpur recording in my opinion.

[Harry]

My second rerun through this box, and one I like very much, both for the music and interpretation.

[Karl Henning]

And I like Schuman's symphonies more than Schumann's symphonies.

+ 1

[The new erato]

Of course there are several Schumanns, Georg and Camillo comes to mind..

[Harry]

Johann Gottlieb Graun is always a welcome guest....a marvelous performance.

How do you like Kodama's Messiaen?

That's maybe the second time I heard the piece, and the only recording of it that I have, can't really judge. Her playing in rest of the disc is clear, crisp, precise, minimal pedalling, sharp attack, maybe lacking in last ounce of abandon here and there but generally the kind of playing that I like.
