alankin Posted April 14, 2017 Report Share Posted April 14, 2017 Now playing, CD 28: Gustav Mahler – Symphony No.1 in D Major “Titan” Johannes Brahms – Variations on a Theme by J. Haydn Op.56a — New York Philharmonic – Bruno Walter (Masterworks Heritage—Columbia / Sony Classical) I thought I only had Walter's 1961 performance of Mahler's First Symphony, but prompted by the recent discussion of Walter's 1954 performance, I realized that I had a copy of the 1954 performance in Sony's very nice Masterworks Heritage box.

Balladeer Posted April 15, 2017 Report Share Posted April 15, 2017 Eric Le Van plays Exil/Exile: Piano music by Composers with Roots in Two Countries (Music & Arts/BR Klassik) Fascinating album from start - waltzes by Erich Korngold over somber "November" suite of Erich Zeisl and livelier Ernst Toch pieces over Arnold Schönberg to finish with Mario Castelnuevo-Tedesco´s fine Fandango. Beautifully recorded, CD features booklet with detailed information about background of those remarkable Austrian and Italian composers in troubled times.

mikeweil Posted April 17, 2017 Report Share Posted April 17, 2017 Performance-wise, the Skip Sempé disc is the most stunning. Van Asperen plays at his best when he has Froberger or Louis Couperin on the music stand, but Sempé brings a sense of excitement to the music that is unsurpassed. Now playing Davitt Moroney's recording of the complete organ works: ... while reading articles by Moroney and Glen Wilson on the composer. There is some dispute about the composer's identity, as the manuscripts containing his harpsichord works just say "M. Couperin" - the organ works are clearly attributed, and the datings of some pieces concur to Louis Couperin's biographical data. There is evidence the organ manuscripts could be autograph, while the harpsichord music was obviously copied after his early death in 1661. This brings his brother Charles into the game, but there are no others sources to verify the existence of any written music of this member of the family. It is a very complicated matter - right now the arguments for Louis being the composer of the harpsichord music outweigh the doubts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

papsrus Posted April 18, 2017 Report Share Posted April 18, 2017 Earlier ... polyphonic madrigals composed for Cardinal Francesco Barberini's musical academy, Rome circa 17th century. Solo voice with instrumental accompaniment. Quite remarkable, but will take many more listens to absorb. Now ... Scarlatti Sonatas -- Sergei Babayan probably somewhat sacrilege in these parts but quite nice as accompaniment for cooking -- tacos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Nessa Posted April 18, 2017 Report Share Posted April 18, 2017 Bought this as a new release, on vinyl, back in the day and it still sounds good. I need to compare it to the others I currently have - Wit and Rosbaud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
