New Releases

[Que]

There's a sneak peek of the credo of one of the masses on streaming platforms, sounds like a Titelouze organ piece with voices instead of organ,

I tried to get my mind around that metaphor, but I guess I have to hear it for myself. 

[Mandryka]

I tried to get my mind around that metaphor, but I guess I have to hear it for myself. 

It's sometimes said, maybe Wili Appel was the first to say it, that Gombert's polyphonic sacred music, in particular the magnificats, is the inspiration of the whole baroque tradition of imitative polyphony on organ. And Titelouze is one of the founding fathers of that organ tradition.

Thnx for the explanation!

Cover shot finally.



Ólafsson already gets the complete recordings treatment.



Another version can't hurt.

[Madiel]

This tops without a doubt the atrociousness of any cover featured  before, but I hope the quality of the performances is better than anything they did before.

Q

And here was I thinking that was actually one of the more pleasant Beauty Farm covers. Which isn't saying much, I grant you.

[Que]

Definitely one to consider.

[Brian]

Hadn't seen this one anywhere until now but it's downloadable on eClassical.

Some DECEMBER news



Not just premiere recordings of the Mosolov works, but the first ever performance of the harp concerto.



A real contender for the Worst Album Covers thread:



(feat. Vivaldi, Locatelli, three less famous guys)

[ritter]

A new recording of chamber music by Reynaldo Hahn (the two String Quartets, and the Romance in A major for violin and piano):



This is the link to Amazon France.

The artists and the label are unknown to me. The CD is released "with the support of the Palazzetto Bru Zane".

Release date is October 23rd.

That is music I would be really interested in hearing, but the cover art is not helping. 

Ivan Fischer and the Budapest Festival Orchestra succeeded in recording Brahms 3 to complete their Brahms cycle just a few weeks ago (with Serenade No. 2), but their planned Beethoven 9 is canceled for at least another year or two.

I have to indicate that Mosolov's symphony is a premiere .It was played first time 26/1/2019 at Great Hall of Moscow Conservatory and it was his last work dedicated to wife Nina.

I know Mosolov for his short orchestral work The Iron Foundry. I wasn't aware he had composed symphonies. How are they ?

[André]

The disc of orchestral works by Novák is labeled vol. 1. That's interesting !

Five IMHO.But Symphony in E (excellent work) hasn't number

[André]

Thanks, Roy. This one looks hard to find, but I suppose someday it will become available at the right price (900$+ on Amazon  ).

Amazon is sometime totally madness

[Madiel]

Rossini Overtures arranged for mandolin quintet has to be one of the most niche things ever.

Some DECEMBER news

These look very interesting.

[Maestro267]

Interesting that the Novak disc is listed as "Vol. 1", given that in 2017 Naxos released a recording of In the Tatra Mountains, Lady Godiva and Eternal Longing. I wonder if that disc is going to be retroactively incorporated into this new cycle.

The three discs noted by Symphonic Addict above are the three that grabbed my attention more than the others as well.

Some DECEMBER news

Hmm? Would this happen to be a reissue from his private label? I didn't think Rübsam was recording for Brilliant.
