What were you listening to? (CLOSED)

[Opus106]

Now playing CD3 from this set ...

I'm so happy for that box. Really.

[The new erato]

I'm so happy for that box. Really.

No 21 in that box is my favorite cantata recording ever, boy soloist and all, this despite me having 150 discs (at least) of Bach catata recordings.

[Christo]

Heard the pieces live last night and well, it is pleasant music, well suited for a Sunday morning:
                                       

[The new erato]

This is another first listen in my attempts to come to terms with a large inflood of discs this year. I'm hearing Prokofiev, Scriabin and Debussy here without really hearing a distinct personality. But of course further listens are mandated. With new (previously unheard) stuff I usually try to go for three listens, if it doesn't jell I put it in a "to revisit" pile to play after some months to see if anything have happened. Ocassionally it does.

Another run of this - definitely a keeper, I just ordered the other volume.
Good morning!



Stefan Johannes Bleicher plays the organ of the Klosterkirche in Weißenau, built by Johann Nepomuk Holzhey in 1784-87.

Q

Morning all.

Q, I read that Stefan Johannes Bleicher is one of the most outstanding German organists of his generation.  I have the following set by him ...

Thanks for that!  Liszt on the organ, I'm curious. 
And having heard the Bach recording on ebs, Arte Nova should do a Bach cycle with him.

Indeed.  I too, am waiting for more recordings of Bach organ works by Stefan Johannes Bleicher ...

Now playing CD4 - St John Passion from this set ...

[springrite]

I feel so Dutch now, I am considering changing my name to Ruud van SpringRijte


Now listening: Vermeulen Symfonie Nr 2

[abidoful]

Well, T-H-A-T'S interesting! Cool cover !!!: D

[Christo]

Now listening: Vermeulen Symfonie Nr 2

May I propose to change it into:  Ruud van de Lentekriebels? That would be a bit more convincing. 

As to Vermeulen's Second, the question is of course: which performance. I would strongly favour the one by the Hague Philharmonic (`Residentie') Orchestra under Lucas Vis, by far the best IMHO. But perhaps hardly available?

I have no idea which performance since the upload from (?) has no information on this. I am enjoying it nevertheless!
