What are you listening to now?

[Mandryka]

Wolfgang Rübsam plays Bach's 3rd Partita.

This is absolutely extraordinary, I mean the conception. It's like the partita tracks a movement from dark to light, from introspection to extroversion. I mean absolutely no one plays the music like this, not on harpsichord, or piano or organ.

I'm going to stick my neck out and say this is the best 3rd partita on record. After Rübsam noone else will do - not Leonhardt's 2nd recording, not Suzuki- which are all fine in their way.

Rather disappointing for me, royal smoothness all the way.

Thanks for reminding me: All I have heard from Rübsam so far (not much) was interesting. I will look for more of his interpretations.

Do not forget his outstanding Pachelbel-CD for Naxos, equally original and convincing.

Lovely Rameau! It needs another spin for sure!
Thanks to King Ubu for recommending this recording!

Weill.  Continuing my Guinness Book of World Records record-breaking listen of more violin concertos than any other single person living, dead, or points in-between.

Hi Todd - have a couple of Le Sage discs and enjoy - waiting for a box to be released but was not checking - just ordered on Amazon Prime @ a great price for 13 CDs - NOW, I'll need to 'cull out' some of the many duplicate performances that I own -   Dave

I love the Gershwin PC.

I saw Barto perform Bartok's 2nd PC with the NSO last year.

...and allow me to make a shameless plug for Holmboe's mesmerising Violin Concerto No.2...

[Obradovic]

All my life (I'm 41) I didn't know how it feels to have a headache. I just finished listening Tippett's THE KNOT GARDEN and at last I very well know what a headache is

...and allow me to make a shameless plug for Holmboe's mesmerising Violin Concerto No.2...

I don't know it, but his Viola Concerto is quite good, and very much the sort of thing Z7 likes I believe.

It's on the same disc as the Viola Concerto.
