My first listens, but I can't argue with you on their goodness.

I had never heard Christian Ferras before, but I thought I would try him out after reading that Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto thread. I may do his earlier recording next.

(I love streaming and having more or less everything ever released available to sample. ;D )

An outstanding violinist. You can't go wrong with any of his recordings.

Faure's C minor piano quintet, FAQ and Cristina Ortiz - understated maybe, nothing underlined, still passionate. Sound is certainly listenable.

Quote from: Irons on October 10, 2024, 07:31:18 AMYes, Bliss Cello Concerto excellent, not familiar with Hymn to Apollo.

Armstrong Gibbs symphonies on my playlist at present. I discovered that he and Bliss were on good terms. I thought of you Jeffrey when coming across this photo.

What a great photo Lol! Armstrong Gibbs's 3rd Symphony 'Westmorland' is a favourite of mine and very moving (in memory of his son I think who was killed in the 2nd World War). We both love Hadley's 'The Trees so High' and both Rootham symphonies are wonderful scores - one very outgoing and the second one much more reflective. Rootham was the teacher of Bliss. I think that you would enjoy 'Hymn to Apollo' (there are several recordings).

Quote from: ultralinear on October 10, 2024, 01:21:16 AMFWIW I did get to see a performance of No.1 some years ago, Michael Jurowski conducting the LPO.  And I say "see" advisedly as it was as much a theatrical experience as musical.  E.g. at one point the entire brass section got to their feet and filed off stage left, still playing their instruments - carried on playing while processing audibly around the outside of the auditorium - then re-entered stage right and sat back down, all without missing a note.  Great entertainment.  :)

Sounds like a quite cool experience for sure. There's hope for that work being performed elsewhere then.

Florent Schmitt: Haybessée, op. 110.



I had missed the news that there was a need for a Memoriam...

I can pull out a box of Sibelius recordings later.

Karayev: Suite from 'The Seven Beauties'

This suite is so good that I wonder why the complete ballet has not been recorded in its entirety yet. The same goes to the another suite on this disc.
