The Wergo label seems to be a fun place to go when you think you've heard everything but know you haven't.

Exemplary label. Not easy music - but I think that's the point.

Excuse me if I have posted this before. There is a goldmine of material by Fricker on youtube, and the same user is posting lots of interesting material which can be found nowhere else. 

 

 

 

Do take a look. 

On Fricker alone he has two versions of this viola concerto!

As anyone interested in Fricker will know, there are maybe three commercially available digital recordings. Some other stuff this user has I should think there has never been any commercial recording.

Just the 'Jazz' Suites off the Shosty; 2 + 3 from the Prokofiev. 2 has never made much of an impression but 3 is a thrilling piece.

Disc 4 of the latter. 

Image result for adoration of the magi fabrianoImage result for universal music australia pty. ltd. the lindsays / haydn: string quartets, op.77 nos 1 & 2; op.42; op.103

XI - XX off the first; Op 77 No. 1 off second. 

Now something appropriate to my mood having lain awake all night listening to the world end...

Haitink still regularly comes to conduct the LSO in Bruckner or Mahler. A real great. Meanwhile André Previn has withdrawn from this week's concert with the LSO. I'm going to make the most of Haitink while he can still make make it onto the podium. This year, Mahler 9, Bruckner 7 and 9. 

You are in for a treat .... guaranteed ....

Maria Lettberg plays Erkki Melartin - Solo Piano Works 

Grateful for Crystal Records´ Piano rarities series that released this gem. Melartin, once student of Sibelius, deserves wider recognition.

Those Preludes and Impressions on Disc 2 are ceaselessly fascinating late romantic and expressionistic stuff.
