What Classical Music Are You Listening To?

[A Lark Ascending]

One of my earliest CDs and one that used to leap out of the speakers (well, still does). Three of his famous colourful scores and the earlier and less well known Dance Symphony - you hear his influences there (French music of the early 20thC, Stravinsky etc) but it's interesting hear him before the New Deal populism made him widely famous (not complaining about the latter!).

Haydn -  String Quartet Op.33/6

Mozart -  Piano Concerto No.16

[A Lark Ascending]

Disc 1 of the CD (well, download) version - I think this was originally a 3 LP set back in the olden days. 

And straight on to disc 2.

First time I ever hear any Haydn concertos in HIP - makes a huge difference, truly ear-opening. Actually, to put it bluntly: first time, any Haydn concerto makes real sense to me!

As CBS New's show Sunday Morning had a piece on the 125th Anniversary of Carnegie Hall, I thought I play this recital by Vladimir Horowitz this morning.

Heard a track from that recording on the radio this morning. I was driving, so I couldn't listen very carefully, but I enjoyed what I heard.
