What were you listening to? (CLOSED)

[karlhenning]

FWIW, Lethe, I find Taverner mixed, but (a) I do like The Protecting Veil a great deal, and (b) a friend has lent me the Out of the Night disc (and it always makes me think of the old Disney series of Zorro), which I like fairly well.

Listening to:

Hindemith
Konzertmusik, Opus 49 for piano, brass & harps
The composer conducting

[Brian]

The excitement of a mystery: will Karl allow anyone else to post in this thread?

At 3am today, when I was unable to sleep, I played Grieg's Lyric Pieces, Book I (Austbo), then the slow movement from Tchaikovsky's Second Piano Concerto (Scherbakov), then Josef Suk's String Serenade (Capella Istropolitana) and Grieg's Holberg Suite (BPO, Karajan). And at the end of that I still couldn't sleep...

I like that disc too, it works better than most of the others.

[Lethevich]

Tüür - Ante Finem Saeculi; Symphony No.2 (Mägi, Finlandia)



This is some of the most primal, rugged sounding music I've heard...

Edit: God, the symphony can be utterly ferocious at times, but mixed with very subtle passages, what a neat composer

I was listening to his 4th, yesterday, and I can say the same. Also very good with choral composition, apparently.

(And a very, very, very good composition for strings in that same disc: "The Path And the Traces". Outstanding!)

He's shot to the top of my to-buy list

Do I believe my eyes!? A Tasos sighting!!

Seeing is believing, they say (); I was finally alloted an internet connection in my (new) neck of the woods and - as of very recently -  have been enjoying the gift of (some) free time to make use of it. It's great seeing you all again!  

Wanderer, may I please enquire about your nationality? You apparently share your first name with my father!

You may. Check PM!  
Karl, ditto.

Inspired () by orbital's Ashk/Decca/Rach plays:



I almost never play this, so glad to have been reminded of it.

[Mark]

Dvorák SQ #3 in d major, Panocha Qt.  Thanks to all who recommended the Panocha box--fast becoming a favorite!

My thanks, too. An excellent set.

[Drasko]

all that Rachmaninov and none of it HIP  you decadents

You know, you have not listened to Ligeti's Poem Symphonique until you have listened to a HIP version 

[Lady Chatterley]

Concerto in A Major for Piano and Orchestra by Grieg,

[wilhelm]

CD2

[Drasko]

You know, you have not listened to Ligeti's Poem Symphonique until you have listened to a HIP version 

Of course, but that raises the question - what is considered to be HIP, or in other words, do the metronomes have to be from early 60s or can be modern made just in style of old masters?
