What are you listening to now?

[Madiel]

Various bits of Sibelius all from around 1904, and all streamed from the BIS Sibelius edition.

Cassazione, op.6, 1st version (one of the times that Sibelius was deeply creative with opus numbers, the man couldn't leave anything alone)
Have You Courage?, op.31/2, 1st version
Violin Concerto, op.47, 1st version
Musik zu einer Szene (original version of Dance-Intermezzo, op.45/2)
Romance for string orchestra, op.42
Valse Triste, op.44/1

According to the sibelius.fi  website, the first 3 works all premiered at the same concert in February 1904. The others premiered in March and April 1904.

Yes an amazing deal indeed, I paid 38 euros 2 months ago for the same box, and thought it an amazing deal.
I now feel a bit cheated....

The mono Vegh op 131. Meh.

[aligreto]

Sonata in D major, BuxWV 267
Sonata in B flat major, BuxWV 273
Sonata in C major, BuxWV 266

The music on this CD is charming and intimate and is well recorded even if the acoustic is somewhat dry.

Listening to the 2nd now. Love the density of the introduction to this symphony.

All great stuff too. Yes, he loved revising works, but a lot of times he made revisions to a work's structure, but he did occasionally edit out sections of music like, for example, En Saga. There are noticeable differences between both the revised and original versions. I love both versions, but do miss some of the atmospheric music he edited out.

A recent purchase and a superb account of the Vespers.  Another winner from the Lautten Compagney. 

To my ears, an ideal blend between voices and instruments is achieved here.  A compact edition too, filling out just a single disc.

Hi Sarge!

Nice selection, I'll join you.

Credit Mrs. Rock. After an afternoon of Schoenberg, she insisted we switch to Bach

A composer largely forgotten. A shame for he writes beautiful music with a kick. Highly original and worthwhile to have and hear.

Like Woyrsch, this composer is equally obscure and totally forgotten. Nevertheless his music deserves better.
