What conductor/orchestra? Surely, whoever it is, can't better HvK and the Berliners. My favorite Ring cycle.

For Luke:



Never heard the concerto before, I don't think.

A second listen.  Idiosyncratic, filled with personal rubato, accents, and ornamentation, and not a few heavy pedal thuds, the disc is most engaging.  I may have to explore Kamenz's Liszt.  (I also now regret not attending his recitals when he was in town a couple years back.)

You have a link for that?

Spotify. I use the app but found it searching for Rheingold. Should be able to find it through the website.
It's excellent.

A recent purchase and a benchmark recording of J. S. Bach's Motets

Interesting. The last purchase that I made of these works was this one, which I thought was very good....

Starting my weekend listening with side one of this vinyl....





The Chairman Dances...I really like the rhythmic content of this music and it's great sense of excitement and vitality.
Christian Zeal and Activity...Whatever about the commentary the music is absolutely wonderful; lush melodies with beautiful harmonies.

Ruiz-Pipo: Complete Works for Guitar - Dautaner/Gerber.

JS Bach: Cantata BWV 167 For The Feast of St. John the Baptist [Gardiner]....





This one contains a wonderful duet for alto and soprano.

I think it may have been Ray who commended this (recording) to me, and it is a beauty.

Definitely not me. I'm not a fan of Wand's Bruckner.  The one I recommended to you Karl was the 7th by Giulini/Vienna Phil.

Finishing off this set with the second LP which contains Sonatas 4-6 and Concertos 4-6

Every year or so I try listening to this symphony to find out if I've stopped hating it yet. Last year I got halfway through the second movement before surrendering...let's see how this year goes.

I'm at 5:30 in the scherzo and starting to get bored... oh good it's trio time! Fingers crossed

You've tried various performances, I'm guessing?

-- Anyway, it was years before I warmed to the Mahler symphonies, so it would not become me to begrudge you space and time
