Robert Fürstenthal - Songs and Ballads of Life and Passing (Toccata)

Somber, melancholic Lieder, great stuff, and there´s a life story behind it!

Thanks to young baritone Rafael Fingerlos, pianist Sascha El Mouissi and the Toccata team for discovering this music and presenting it on  a wonderful album!

Harold Shapero - Serenade in D for String Orchestra (Arthur Winograd/Winograd String Orchestra (MGM LP). A really nice piece by a composer some will know from "On Green Mountain" from the Brandeis Modern Jazz Festival LP. My copy of the MGM LP, which I found years ago, is a later pressing - it has the full liner notes on the back, but the cover just says "MGM Records Classical Reprints; Limited Edition-Request Series."

soulpope - do you like this version of Bruckner's 6th?

Klemps often leaves me cold, but I think he's very effective here.

Scott I do like this performance a lot .... having said that I very much prefer the late Klemperer and this "Legacy" Series has some exzellent recordings on offer like a wonderful Mahler 2 and a stirring Schubert "Unfinished" .... btw the 8 CD Testament Box "Klemperer + Wiener Philharmoniker" is a treasure trove  for sure ....
