CD 3

[71 dB]

TV: Yle Teema & Fem: Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra Concert

Thomas Adès: Aquifer
Henri Dutilleux: Cello Concerto (Tout un monde lointain)
Pyotr Il'yich Tchaikovsky: Symphony No. 4 in F minor

Tomas Nuñez, cello
Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra
Nicholas Collon

At the beginning conductor Nicholas Collon dedicated this concert to Leif Segerstam who sadly passed away on Wednesday. Adès' Aquifer is a very new work commissioned by Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra to mark the inaugural season of their new Chief Conductor, Sir Simon Rattle, who conducted the UK premiere. Apparently Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra is the second orchestra in the World performing the work.

[Florestan]

The only other completely complete set I know of is this. I've never heard a note from it, and have no idea if it's available to stream.


I have and rather like Podger/Cooper. I also have Mutter/Orkis, Capucon/Armstrong, and Szeryng/Haebler. I can't say I have a strong preference for any particular one of them.

Boskowski / Kraus is also completely complete. It includes even the spurious "Romantic" sonatas.

Canções, Vilancicos e Motetes Portugueses Huelgas Ensemble, Paul Van Nevel
A Secret Labyrinth CD14

[Mandryka]

Radu Lupu's Tokyo 1987 concert with solo Mozart and Chopin, excellent sound, satisfying performances especially in the soulful slow pieces. Well worth seeking out and hearing when you're up for the music.

[Linz]

Bruckner Symphony No. 5 in B Flat Major, 1878 Version Ed. Leopold Nowak, ORF Vienna Radio Symphony Orchestra, Markus Poschner

[Madiel]

Surprised to read earlier this week that Barenboim is quite frail.

He's 81 years old.

Again, pretty good listening despite the late hour.

[André]

William Walton (1902–1983).
Viola Concerto original version (1928–9)

Edmund Rubbra (1901–1986).
Meditations on a Byzantine Hymn for solo viola Op 117, (1962)
Viola Concerto in A major Op 75 (1952).

Lawrence Power, Viola.
BBC Scottish SO, Ilan Volkov.
Recorded at City Hall, Glasgow, on 16 and 17 September 2006 (concertos) and Henry Wood Hall, London, on 27 September 2006 (Meditations on a Byzantine Hymn).

Both Viola Concertos I like enormously, and certainly in such fine performances and sound. The Meditations were unknown to me, but it a huge draw into the world of Rubbra. A work of religious and solemn aspects. This release brings together three major pieces by two outstanding and highly individual English composers and is Prime quality time for my ears and mind.

A friend brought a library copy of this to listen to. I liked it so much I ended up buying it. A truly remarkable release.

[Kalevala]

Radu Lupu's Tokyo 1987 concert with solo Mozart and Chopin, excellent sound, satisfying performances especially in the soulful slow pieces. Well worth seeking out and hearing when you're up for the music.

I haven't heard that CD; however, I have at least two others of him playing Mozart which I enjoy (one with Previn--four hands).

Sibelius: Violin Concerto
Christian Ferras
Karajan, Berlin

[NumberSix]

Oof, I never get tired of hearing the strings come back in between 5-6 min on the Sibelius concerto. I probably say it every time I post this piece, no matter who is playing it.

Now streaming on Idagio:



Kalevi Aho: Concerto for Timpani and Orchestra (2015)
Erkki Lasonpalo, Turku Philharmonic Orchestra
Ari-Pekka Mäenpää (Timpani)

I don't think I have ever heard a timpani concerto. Might follow this one up with Aho's piano concerto on the same album.
