Larry Kart Posted June 6, 2022 Report Posted June 6, 2022 2 hours ago, HutchFan said: Larry, If you've not already heard it, you might want to check out Rozhdestvensky's recording of Langgaard's Music of the Spheres. It's terrific. I once read an interview with György Ligeti. The interviewer played this record for Ligeti, who had never heard Langgaard's music before. Afterwards, Ligeti said, "Langgaard's composition anticipates my music!" (Or something to that effect.) Ligeti was very impressed. And please forgive me if I'm repeating myself. I may have shared that little anecdote before. Got that one along with a fair amount of other Langgaard -- symphonies, violin sonatas, piano music, string quartets, plus a DVD of "AntiKrist" -- will listen. P.S. The work I posted about above is the first work of his that I really burrowed into and/or let burrow into me. Maybe I was just in the right mood. It broke over me like a wave. Quote

soulpope Posted June 7, 2022 Report Posted June 7, 2022 7 hours ago, HutchFan said: I've discovered that I tend to be drawn more to female lieder singers -- performers like Janet Baker, Elly Ameling, Brigitte Fassbaender, and Margaret Price. The color and heft of each of their voices are very different, so each of them will be more or less suited for different types of songs: heavy/tragic, lyrical/pastoral, romantic, or whatever. ... I tend to agree, still there are some male Schubert gems out there. Although I don`t appreciate Fischer-Diskau a lot, there is a 80`s recording with Alfred Brendel of "Schwanengesang" - he is in a rather desolte shape (his wife dies recently) and his broken voice is a perfect match for this Schubert song collection .... Matthias Goerne has an excellent Schubert Lied project on Harmonia Mundi with the crown jewel being the first release with Elisabeth Leonskaja (I`ve mentioned the disc here a couple of days ago) .... Werner Güra had an outstanding "Schwanengesang" on Harmonia Mundi (feat. the impeccable pianism of Christoph Berner) .... and regarding the Hyperion Schubert Series, Matthias Goerne "Winterreise" and Peter Schreier are strongly recommended .....
