A Lark Ascending Posted February 9, 2016 Report Share Posted February 9, 2016 Persephone Op 131 (Though my copy has an unfashionable EMI label on) 2 hours of wonderfully mellifluous treacle (though the big number comes very early on). Nice Art Deco staging too. Â Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StarThrower Posted February 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2016 From the Boulez Complete Erato box. First listen to Franco Donatoni (1927-2000). Tema, and Cadeau are instrumental works for chamber ensembles of 11 & 12 instruments. Sounds atonal, but fairly colorful music for strings, brass, winds and percussion. May appeal to fans of Carter and Boulez. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Lark Ascending Posted February 10, 2016 Report Share Posted February 10, 2016 (edited) Thank you, Soulpope, for alerting me to that last one. Reminded me very much of my Dad. Amazed at how well I knew these pieces even though I could only put a name to the Puccini ones. Though they missed a trick in not going for the vocal version of "Hello Muddah, Hello Fadduh". I compensated. Edited February 10, 2016 by A Lark Ascending Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

papsrus Posted February 10, 2016 Report Share Posted February 10, 2016 (edited) Mozart -- Cosi fan Tutte (Decca) Sir Colin Davis, Orchestra and Chorus of the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden Montserrat Caballe, Janet Baker, Wladimiro Ganzarolli, Nicolai Gedda, Ileana Cotrubas, Richard van Allan In a moment of unabashed gluttony some time ago, I scooped up this complete Decca set. Not quite "complete," actually, judging by the rather enthusiastic first review at amazon. Missing three early operas written when WAM was a wee lad. Nonetheless, more music in one fell swoop than one can reasonably justify, so I won't try. Finally getting around to it. No libretto in this, just a booklet with the basics.  Edited February 10, 2016 by papsrus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Lark Ascending Posted February 10, 2016 Report Share Posted February 10, 2016 I don't think Berkeley had much time for the 'pastoral' side of early 20thC English music - he generally seems to have more in common with inter-war French composers. But this still sounds wonderfully evocative of the open air. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

papsrus Posted February 10, 2016 Report Share Posted February 10, 2016 Bruckner, Symphony No. 7 Bernard Haitink, Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra (Decca)  When I first mentioned to my dad, maybe last year about this time, that I was getting into Bruckner (one of his Big Three) in kind of a big way via Celibidache, he simply looked at me wide-eyed, held up seven fingers and said, "It'll blow your mind." ...   He pressed this into my hand last Saturday after I'd given him a mid-60s live recording of No. 7 by Kurt Masur and the Berliner Staatskapelle Orchestra. So we're passing Bruckners back and forth these days.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
