My LP is from Brendel's first set of Schubert recordings for Philips (recorded in analog).Ā The Schubert set that Peter Friedman posted isĀ Brendel's second for Philips (recorded digitally). Ā Ā I'm now listening to Rudolf Serkin's wonderful BeethovenĀ set: Disc 6 - Sonata No. 21 in C Major, Op. 53 "Waldstein" - Sonata No. 23 in F Minor, Op. 57 "Appassionata" - Sonata No. 24 in F-Sharp Major, Op. 78 - Sonata No. 26 in E-Flat Major, Op. 81a "Les adieux" Ā Edited August 22, 2019 by HutchFan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeweil Posted August 22, 2019 Report Share Posted August 22, 2019 Early "Clavier"-Concertos from a Munuscript now preserved in a Slovenian library. Great notes by an expert from Austria: The Austrain composers developped their concertos independentzly from German traditions, had no idea of the Bach family or Haendel concertos.

Warning: Scelsi's music is definitely weird, and someĀ people consider it crap. I've even seen him calledĀ a fraud of sorts - he used to tape himself playing on some kind of keyboard (I forget details) and have a trained composer transcribe it; there was an article by the latter entitled something like "I wrote Giacinto Scelsi's music"Ā (again forget details). My favorite and best recommendation is this reissue of 3 discs originally on Accord: If you can find samples, play them really loud and see if you dig 'em...[Added: Here's a good sample: ] The Kairos discs above are pretty good IMO. I find Scelsi mostly about timbre and microtones. Some instruments / ensembles work better than others. I didn't care for his solo piano work and sold the CDs I had. Currently own only five all-Scelsi discs (the ones mentioned) - sold a number and can't find Canti del CapricornoĀ so must have sold that too. Not planning to buy more. Periodically consider getting complete string quartets andĀ decide against it, which may have been an error as a reasonably-priced Stradivarius reissue (with Arditti SQ) went oop.
