  1. Now streaming: Very interesting to hear "The Carnival of the Animals" performed by a small ensemble of 12 instrumentalists. Before today, I'd only heard it performed with a full orchestra.
  2. Yep. Know the record well. ... Just never clicked with me.
  3. Disc 8 - String Quartets Nos. 15 (Op. 132) and 16 (Op. 135)
  4. Nope. I gotta admit that I'm not a big fan of Mulligan. His only entry on my 70s list is as a co-leader -- with Brubeck at the Berlin Jazz Days in 1970. I've just never grooved much to his sound. I guess he's a "blind spot" of mine.
  5. Wonderful recollections, Gheorghe. ... I never had a chance to see JG. Wish I could have. He was such a force on tenor. And pair him Lockjaw. Phew! Yeah.
  6. More from this wonderful set: Shostakovich: Cello Sonata / Harrell & Ashkenazy Me too!
  7. Shostakovich: Piano Quintet / V. Ashkenazy & the Fitzwilliam SQ
  8. Disc 8 - Prokofiev: Violin Concertos Nos. 1 & 2 and Prokofiev: Piano Sonata No. 7
  9. Romeo & Juliet (Complete Ballet), Op. 64 / Andre Previn, London SO (EMI Classics)
  10. Chausson: Concert for piano, violin & string quartet; Ravel: Trio / Joshua Bell, Jean-Yves Thibaudet, Takács Quartet, Stephen Isserlis (London)
  11. Dvořák: Cello Concerto; Saint-Saëns: Cello Concerto No. 1 / Rostropovich, Giulini, London PO (Angel)
  12. Now spinning on my turntable: Prokofiev: Symphony No. 4 / Ormandy, Philadelphia Orchestra (Columbia)
  13. Pure Pleasure reissue
  14. Yes!!! A fantastic album!!! So glad it will finally be widely available again!
  15. Just arrived in the mail today:
  16. Disc 6 Brahms: Piano Trios Nos. 1 (op. 8) and 2 (op. 87) with Henryk Szeryng and Pierre Fournier It seems like Brahms' chamber music is always orchestral music in miniature. Figuratively speaking, he was writing symphonies well before he wrote any symphonies.
  17. More Elgar and more Barbirolli:
