alankin Posted December 13, 2016 Report Share Posted December 13, 2016 (edited) Now playing, CD 5, The Early Recordings 1945 - part III: Igor Stravinsky – Le Sacre du printemps (The Rite of Spring) Vincent d'Indy – Fervaal Op.40: Prelude to Act 1 Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov – Sadko (tone poem) Op.5 Johannes Brahms – Rhapsody for Contralto, Male Chorus and Orchestra Op.53 — Marian Anderson (contralto) – San Francisco Municipal Men's Chorus — San Francisco Symphony Orchestra – Pierre Monteux (RCA Victor / Sony Classical) It looks like this 1945 recording of The Rite of Spring was issued in an album of eight 78s. Monteux was the first to record The Rite of Spring - in 1929. His third recording of the piece was with the Boston Symphony in 1951. Between 1929 and 1945, it was recorded by Stravinsky (twice), Stokowski (first US recording, with the Philadelphians), and van Beinum.

Larry Kart Posted December 14, 2016 Report Share Posted December 14, 2016 3 hours ago, jeffcrom said: Messiaen - Quartet for the End of Time; Tashi (RCA Victor) Does anyone know the New York Philomusica version from 1972, the first U.S. recording of the work -- initially on Candide, then on a Vox 2-CD collection of modern wind music, with clarinetist Joseph Rabbai, violinist Isidore Cohen, pianist Robert Levin, and a cellist whose name I don't recall, under the direction of A. Robert Johnson, who later led a superb Vox collection of Mozart divertimenti and the best Serenade K. 361 I know? That Quartet for the End of Time seems top notch to me.

A Lark Ascending Posted December 14, 2016 Report Share Posted December 14, 2016 Disc 7 + 8 of latter - Lully's 'Armide'. No Libretto so I had to make up my own story (one about invading other countries on spurious legal grounds, an eternal theme). Wakes you up first thing in the morning. Melencolia, Meridian, Ritual Fragment....though not necessarily in that order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Lark Ascending Posted December 15, 2016 Report Share Posted December 15, 2016 Disc 1 - Mass for Five Voices, Mass for Four Voices, Mass for Three Voices, Ave Verum Corpus, Infelix Ego. Really need to listen to these one at a time rather than in one rush. Probably my classical recording of the year. Contemporary music that is tough, very much in the personal voice of the composer yet accessible to the general listener. Just the symph. One of my favourite Prokofiev pieces. Seems to lie hidden in the shadow of the popular (and equally marvellous) Fifth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
