Ustad Shahid Parvez, Kushal CD. Intense classical Indian Sitar music, sounds just like he did last week at the Queens Hall, Edinburgh.

A great CD now on back-order it seems, but I'm sure others are just as good.

Bruckner's 9th - Fabio Luisi and Dresden Staatskapelle

Appears to be 2nd hand only, but I've got the SACD which sounds absolutely magnificent, might be one of my fave Bruckner 9ths

I decided that it’s time to temporarily move on from Newcastle’s best . . . Charles Avison.So I spotted JCBach’s Sinfonie concertanti 4 cd box set with the Budapest Strings on top of a cd pile and immediately said “why not,what could be better?”

Track three of The Metamorphosis CD as played below by Lavinia Meijer

Listening to the delights of Mozart’s Piano Concertos nos 16 and 25...Jenö Jandó and Concentus Hungaricus. . . Naxos.
This wonderful cd also includes one of my very special favourites,Rondo inA Major K386...hauntingly beautiful.

[TheDecameron]

Going to town on the Verdi Requiem with lots of comparative listening.

 

[BrianPK]

Haydn Organ Concertos . . . wonderful toe tapping stuff.
Just rediscovered how gorgeous my 12 year old Sennheiser HD650’s can sound.I haven’t listened in years to headphones.

Jan Dismas Zelenka: Misereri in C Minor

https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0037C44ZK/?tag=pinkfishmedia-21

 

[Barrymagrec]

Caractacus - sublime Elgar music, somewhat rubbish libretto.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01HGON11C/?tag=pinkfishmedia-21

Schoenberg - Moses und Aron . After trying 3 others I realised that the Pierre Boulez BBC Symphony Orchestra version was the one to have by a large margin

https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B000025JO0/?tag=pinkfishmedia-21

Strangely this CD, bought recently second hand, is the performance I have on LPs bought many, many years ago

Magic

 

[alanbeeb]

Janacek String Quartets - Skampa Quartet - this is my 3rd recording of these and by far the sharpest, acerbic yet warm.

 

[TheDecameron]

Monteverdi: Vespro Della Beata Vergine

https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B003Y3O1W8/?tag=pinkfishmedia-21

 

[TheDecameron]

Magic Flute- the beautiful Les Arts Florissants / William Christie recording on Erato. It must have been great on stage.

 

[BrianPK]

Haydn Piano Concertinos and String Trios . . . Naxos . . . delightfully lighthearted.

I'm currently enjoying this orchestra-lite version of Das Lied Von Der Erde. Although it's scaled back compared to the full score, all the ingredients are there all the same, but smoother. Smooth like a Sunday morning smoothie

 

[TheDecameron]

Is it for chamber orchestra Derek?

Is it for chamber orchestra Derek? You often get insights to the score from orchestral and piano reductions that you’d never otherwise get.
