JSngry Posted August 12, 2016 Report Share Posted August 12, 2016 Not sure that I am qualified to do much more than ponder this music, which is its own kind of kick, the joy of pondering. But I'll be dammed to make any claims to a deep, actual understanding. Too many contexts are purposely fucked with, it's a context unto itself, maybe, but then Olly Wilson and...world's are existing that give the appearance of being created, but nobody discovered America, if you know what I mean, it was already there, so not going to make that mistaken as assumption of presumption again, no Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

king ubu Posted August 14, 2016 Report Share Posted August 14, 2016 lately: I was indeed crazy enough to complete my Spányi/CPE Bach holdings in the recent BIS sale @prestoclassical's ... enjoying it an awful lot! Other than that, the Prohaska got two spins so far, it's good, of course, but fails to really grab me by the guts. The Enescu on the other hand is moody and beautiful. Not familiar with the music elsewhere (that is except for the third - there is no second actually, Enescu seems to have said it was in his head, too bad he didn't write it down in time - sonata by Lipati), but I think this is a splendid set, really! Even more splendid is the Gál - great stuff there, full of twists and jagged surprises, but full of melody just as well. Not familiar with his music yet otherwise, gotta check out more, that's for sure (and in light of 51 discs of Spányi/CPE Bach, I really wish there were several dozen more discs to complete Gál's piano music!) The Schubert by Orkis is wonderful - he plays a Graf fortepiano on disc one (Impromptus D 899 & D 935) and a copy after a Nannette Streicher piano on disc two - and it's disc two that I find even better, with the folksy piano pieces D 946 and the Moments Musicaux (D 780) as well as D 899/1 played from the original pencil draft, and the original version of D 946/1 to end things. Played like this, Schubert's pieces sound intimate, almost as played in your living room, really. A totally different experience (and maybe one that fits with some of the other stuff depicted above, and the mood that listening to it brought me to). The Weingartner concerto seems to come after Brahms, and his arrangement/completion of the Schubert symphony that follows is probably a bit too full-bodied for Schubert, but both are nice pieces (and actually remind me that I should revisit Weingartner's Brahms symphonies cycle). Albéniz by de Larrocha is probably about as good as it gets ... thanks to soulpope for insisting (I already have the EMI Icon box of her's, but just bought a few of her later Decca recordings of Spanish repertoire).

A Lark Ascending Posted August 15, 2016 Report Share Posted August 15, 2016 A second listen. I've never given the Brahms chamber music enough attention despite having several of the Hyperion discs. Intend to try and get to know it a bit better over the next few months. Seems ideal for autumn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
