Gabriel Fauré - 13 Barcarolles (Complete) / Jean-Philippe Collard (EMI / Pathé-Marconi)
First spin of a new-to-me LP; also a first venture into Fauré's solo piano music. . . . Exquisite!

Listening to Schmitt's "La Tragedie de Salome" from this set:

Heard a performance by the Buffalo Philharmonic/JoAnn Falletta last night and a theme/modulation was driving me nuts - I knew it from somewhere else. I lost sleep last night and today it suddenly dawned on me. The work I was thinking of was "The Planets - Venus". AND the last BPO concert I attended included "The Planets". I felt so stupid.

FWIW, it seems the Schmitt was composed in 1907/rev 1910 and the Holst in 1916. Dang.

Years ago, I heard this version of Flos Campi on the radio. I remember thinking, "Whoa! What's that?!?!?" 

I bought the CD shortly afterwards. This recording is what drew me into Vaughan Williams' world.

Don't know that one, but playing some Ives is almost always a good thing.

It's a fantastic recital. Susan Narucki & Donald Berman are VERY convincing.

I first heard Narucki on this Ives recording; it's also excellent:

Streamed this via YT on the way home from work earlier this evening ... and just getting back to it now ...

Beethoven's Missa Solemnis as performed by Eugen Jochum, the RCOA, Netherlands Radio Chorus, and vocal soloists:

If I had to choose ONE Beethoven conductor as a personal favorite, it would likely be Eugen Jochum.

I wish this was still available on CD. I may have to seek out the vinyl. ;)
