Д.Д. Posted April 29, 2020 Report Posted April 29, 2020 On 4/27/2020 at 6:16 PM, Rooster_Ties said: John Adam’s conducting Germany’s ‘Ensemble Modern’ (Ives 4) is my go-to recording, fwiw. It’s an expanded orchestra-size group, and not the typically smaller chamber-size Ensemble Modern config (but the EM is at its core). A bit tricky to find on CD (I ordered mine directly from the EM website 15+ years ago), but there are download options available - though be careful, I understand some download sites only have like 15-seconds(!) of the second movement (and the free streaming version on YouTube is the same). The CD version (which I have) is just 30 minutes long - but was worth every single penny (imho). https://www.discogs.com/Charles-Ives-Fourth-Symphony/release/8369773 On 4/27/2020 at 8:20 PM, Д.Д. said: Yes, you're right, 2nd movement (Allegretto) is only 12 seconds long on Spotify! I sent a request to Ensemble Modern to make it at least 24 seconds. OK, I got an answer from EM, they will have the issue with streaming / downloads fixed. Moreover, the CD is available directly from their website: https://www.ensemble-modern.com/en/shop/cds/fourth-symphony/18#d-18 Quote

Referentzhunter Posted April 30, 2020 Report Posted April 30, 2020 Stravinsky - Le Sacre du Printemps (1959 recording) One of my favorites and a thrilling performance to. Quote
mikeweil Posted April 30, 2020 Report Posted April 30, 2020 Still one of my favourite recordings of the pieces, in excellent sound, on a Skowroneck harpsichord after the Berlin Mietke. BWV 968 has never been done better on CD, IMHO. I was inspired to listen to this CD again after Ketil Haugsand linked a new recording he made for the Netherlands Bach society on his facebook pages.
