Of modern recordings, I had been impressed by the Sorell and Danel Quartets among others. Regardless, this is astonishing music making. Apparently recorded 1978-1983 with 2 of the players different from the Chandos set (1967-71). It's a Soviet / Melodiya recording of the full set, so comes after the set of 1-13 available on Chandos. :)Īs well as revisiting some of yesterday's Reicha wind quintets and piano trios, I also came across this set of Shostakovich string quartets by the Borodin Qt. Phew - a Sunday filled to the brim with Reicha. But somehow the whole recording got played.Īnd I enjoyed it so much that I went straight on to this. I only meant to play one of the two wind quintets, as that seemed a sufficiency. I fancied some light-hearted and bubbly "Sunday music", and somehow this came along. I tried a few others but finally settled with the Amadeus Quartet on DG, they just hit the spot for me. There is also a recording with a violin concerto that is now on my playlist.Īnd to end the evening with some musical perfection, K.515 from this set. Interesting and quite entertaining, rather more challenging than I'd expected. This was a weird discovery, not sure how I came across it on Spotify! Looking forward to hearing some of Rogner's 4-9. Who knew that Neumann did Bruckner? Not me. (Remarkably good sound for an East German recording from that time). Conducted by Pierre Boulez.īruckner 1st symphony from this set, conducted by Vaclav Neumann in the early 1960s I think. I thought I'd give it another go, this time with my fave violinist of the moment Pinchas Zukerman. This has not been well received at Jerry Towers in the past. I quite liked that, too.Īnd finally that led me on to that thorny old chestnut, the Berg Violin Concerto. ():format(jpeg):mode_rgb()/discogs-images/ avant-gardey type music, weird stuff but I quite liked it. So I needed to cleanse my musical pallette with. Massively negative and patronising review by some pompous twat from the BBC on Amazon. The orchestral and choral music is great, though. Although personally I can live without the later tracks with solo vocal :spew. This is very good, mostly, in a populist ClassicFM kind of way.Ī Requiem by Robin Gibb, of Bee Gees fame, and his son RJ. Paul Lewis giving a very powerful and emotional performance of the D.845 sonata :thumbsup: Little of the searing emotionalism of the great Brit performances of the Fantasia, but enjoyable in its own way. ![]() Makes Terfel's wonderful account seem a bit histrionic and hammed up!Īnd this Wenlock Edge cycle is also a winner for meĪnd "Household Music" ? - never heard of it, but it's very good!Īnd very nicely, too! And the Oboe Concerto and Tallis Fantasia are also winners. I like this recording of Songs of Travel very much
