Beautiful warm,bright day with a few showers to keep the flowers happy.
What better way to enjoy it than with the beauty of a Mozart piano concerto.

Finally got around to listening to the National Youth Orch at the Proms - always a highlight of the season for me. Life-affirming, in fact.

[John.P]

Keeping it local again tonight with Rachel Podger and Brecon Baroque

I don't know whether it's the performance or the recording - or both - but this one is a cracker!

 

[John.P]

I have to agree, I think it's an inspired (and inspiring) performance.

 

[John.P]

Back to Sibelius again tonight with this

 

[John.P]

A tenuous local link with this one. I first heard Dag Wirren's Serenade for Stings back in November 1979 at a live recording of the BBC Welsh Symphony Orchestra for BBC Radio 3 recorded in their Llandaff studio in Cardiff. It sticks in my memory because it was the first time I had heard live classical music.

BBC Radio3: Mahler1. This is going to be my next purchase - when I find out which recording it is. Sounds wonderful.

 

[Barrymagrec]

Gustav Mahler
Symphony No. 1 in D Major "Titan": I. Langsam, schleppend. Immer sehr gemächlich

Orchestra: Minnesota Orchestra. Conductor: Osmo Vänskä.

• Mahler: Symphony No. 1 in D Major "Titan".
• BIS-2346 SACD

 

[davidjt]

Most kind. I was simply waiting for Andrew McGregor to provide chapter and verse, and enjoying it.

The download doesn't seem to be available yet but I'll keep checking back. The sota recording had that appealing clarity which compensates for not actually 'being there'.

 

[TheDecameron]

James MacMillan: Quickening. BBC Philharmonic, CBSO chorus, Hilliard Ensemble conducted by the composer.

Sibelius: Symphony 1 - Sir Colin Davis LSO Live

 

[BrianPK]

Beautiful late summer’s afternoon and feeling in a very mellow mood,so... time for a little Haydn.

[John.P]

Another local link for me, I heard the New London Consort with Philip Pickett perform Carmina Burana on period intruments live in Llandaff Cathedral in Cardiff many years ago.

I have just ordered the above CDs after much deliberation (reading reviews etc) and my natural inclination to dither. It is so indulgent to spend so much money on myself but I am really looking forward to them dropping through my letter box.

Thanks to those posters on here and the other website who brought these to my attention in the first place.
