Elisabeth Schwartzkopf: Bach Cantatas

I have listened to this one a few times before. Good stuff. I don't know Bach cantatas. They all sound the same to me.    But I like when she sings them.

Sept 4th. Are we meant to be listening to Bruckner today?

There's a Celibidache 7th that's calling my name. . .

Bruckner: Symphony No. 7
Steinberg, Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra

In understand today is some Bruckner anniversary. (Birthday? Deathday?) I was going to stream a Celibidache 7th, but then I stumbled across this one and decided to give it a go. Starting with the "Overture in G minor".


ETA: I believe it's birthday 200. That's, like, a milestone, or something!

[brewski]

Bruckner: Locus Iste (VOCES8). Though Bruckner's symphonies are incomparable, his choral writing is equally mesmerizing, and this motet is a fine example.

-Bruce

[brewski]

Bruckner: Christus factus est (Kings College Choir / Sir Stephen Cleobury, conductor). Another of the composer's sublime motets. As much as I adore the symphonies, these choral gems are right up there, too.

-Bruce

[VonStupp]

Heitor Villa-Lobos
Five Preludes
Suite Populaire Brésilienne
Twelve Études
Anders Miolin - guitar

Not my normal listening, but not unpleasant in the least.

Agreed. The motets are all gems, if not mini-masterpieces.

Bruckner: Symphony No. 7
Sergiu Celibidache & Munich Philharmonic

I listened to The Stones for a bit, and now I am back to Birthday!Bruck. . .

[Bachtoven]

It's a sign that I have too many recordings when I browsed through my Discogs purchase history, and I had absolutely no recollection of buying this LP! Well, I'm so glad I did--his playing is absolutely phenomenal, and the sound, captured with just two Schoeps mics in 1970, sounds much more realistic than most digital recordings today. His program is almost overwhelmingly intense.
A1        Fantasy And Fugue On The Thee BACH Franz Liszt
A2        Mephisto Waltz Franz Liszt
B1        Sonata No. 5, Op. 53 Scriabin
B2        Sonata  Alberto Ginastera

Bartók: Violin Concerto No. 2
Christian Tetzlaff
Hannu Lintu, Finnish Radio Symphony

My solo violin listening needs to be from pretty ladies (with side trips to Grumiaux). But this dude looks cool. :p

Bruckner: Symphony No. 4, "Romantic" (ed. Nowak)
Staatskapelle Dresden
Eugen Jochum



No, this isn't the album art on my .mp3; it features a piano keyboard for some reason. What's also inexplicable is the fact I haven't heard this particular recording in over 4 years. It's magisterial.

I've done much the same, though with a different title.
