What are you listening to now?

[Autumn Leaves]

Now playing:



Symphony #3

OK, probably posting a bit much today so Ill make this my last - In my view the best of Tchaikovsky's first 3 Symphonies: mainly for that great soppy Andante Elegiaco movement.
Im really loving these big Composer boxes this year - it must be the laziest way to collect a lot (or in some instances all) of a Composer's works .
This Tchaikovsky one is very nice - need to start digging into it a bit more.
Goodnight and happy listening .

Started listening to this twofer with KV 254 and KV 496.

Wonderful.

How do you find those performances?

[aligreto]

Georg Ritter bassoon quintets -  I Virtuosi Italiani

heard one from this set on the radio as I was waking up this morning and was pleasantly surprised, so checking out the whole disc

That one has me intrigued for some reason. Did you manage to check out the disc and, if so, how did you find it?

Rübsam, G. Silbermann/Dresden, Orgelbuchlein, don't know the temperament.

As far as I remember (have no access to the CDs at the moment) Rübsam's Orgelbüchlein for Naxos is recorded on the Flentrop organ, Duke University Chapel, Durham (despite the misleading cover picture).

Specifications here:

This chapel also harbours a Brombaugh organ tuned in meantone.

Well...its undemanding listening, but a polished performance that makes the best case for it even if that doesn't go much beyond playful and charming. Its rare to hear the bassoon in a quintet, and its a good virtuosic showcase for the instrument, if you're wanting such a thing (the composer himself was apparently a bassoonist in the Mannheim orchestra)

Not essential by any means, but still enough to make me interested to hear whatever else may show up from this name.

Gorgeous music, great recording.

I think they are absolutely wonderful.

Correct, I just went by the picture on the cover. I like the temperament a lot!

Jón Leifs: Three works from this CD - Geysir, Trilogia piccola and Trois peinteures abstraites....





What a wonderful sound world depicted by marvelous scoring and orchestral colour.

Thank you for that; it sounds just fine to me. The idea of the bassoon in a quintet appeals to me. I will put it on the List

Gorgeous music, great recording.

So far, so very good
