mikeweil Posted March 5, 2017 Report Share Posted March 5, 2017 That Charpentier disc looks interesting ... the sheer amount of CDs I still haven't heard almost drives me crazy. Now playine some Wilhelm Friedemann Bach keyboard music: Guy Penson on Ricercar (no image on the web) Maude Gratton on Mirare Both include a misattributed piece - Penson a set of Variations by Hiller from an obscure 19th century anthology, Gratton the c minor keyboard fantasy that many fell for although it is known since the 1970's that it was composed by Wilhelm Hässler. Playing-wise, both are among the best, but one should ignore the booklet notes of the Gratton disc which reproduce old clichés about the composer's life and personality long corrected by recent research. p.s. turns out I have the Charpentier disc ..... I've been buying too much over the years, it seems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

papsrus Posted March 5, 2017 Report Share Posted March 5, 2017 Bruckner Symphony No. 7 Barenboim, Staatskapelle Berlin Beautifully rendered here (recorded live in Berlin in 2010) ... The orchestra really breathes life into this one, or allows the music to breathe and undulate in a Wagnerian sort of way, with great grace and elegance. Really nice.

Undoubtedly there are Wagner influences to be heard in Bruckner 7 which (IMO) are shining trough even stronger in Celibidache`s performance ....

Yes, Celibidache's Bruckner is quite dramatic. I love it. This Barenboim, though, seems to me to be quite sensitive, performed as it is by an orchestra steeped in both Wagner and an operatic tradition. The quiet parts are delicate, the louder parts are strident, etc. I'll revisit Celi to try to flesh that out. I really enjoyed this one though.

papsrus Posted March 6, 2017 Report Share Posted March 6, 2017 (edited) George Onslow, Quartets Opus 8 Nos. 1 & 3; Opus 10 No. 3 Quatuor Ruggieri Quatuor Ruggieri perform these pieces on period instruments -- the period being late classical / early romantic. Onslow was a French fellow who composed chamber music in a French style that features the first violinist as soloist. So plenty of joie de vivre! The music itself is influenced by Vienna and Beethoven (hence Onslow's moniker, the "French Beethoven"). Really interesting music I'm just getting to know.

papsrus Posted March 7, 2017 Report Share Posted March 7, 2017 (edited) George Onslow, complete chamber music for wind instruments Ensemble Initium, Ensemble Contraste Boy, for me these wind pieces are not nearly as satisfying as his string quartets. An almost Looney Tunes/vaudvillian quality to some of this. Nothing really jumps out. It's me, I'm sure, but I didn't even make it all the way through the first disc of this 2-disc set. Fortunately, I'd also ordered another disc of Onslow's late string quartets, which arrived today, Op. 54, 55, 56, performed by Quatuor Diotima. These are excellent -- passionate, filled with virtuosity and flair. The music ebbs and flows and soars and pauses for quiet (if brief) reflection. Good stuff.
