Bingham: First listen to Salt in the Blood & The Darkness Is No Darkness...





Two interesting works that warrant further listening.

Now:



A little Tchaikovsky before going into work. Absolutely thrilling performance.

Bought it during a stay (conference) at the Universidad de Málaga, 15 years ago, but never allowed myself enough time to play it. Will do that now, thanks to your enthusiasm . 

Glad my proselytising has found a listener, Christo.  Do listen to it, as I'd love to know your impressions of this work. Cheers!

THREAD DUTY:

In the car, on the way to (and back from) the gym, listening to assorted chamber music by Arthur Honegger. CD 3 of this set:

Perfect for a carefree, sunny summer day (well, carefree if you forget Brexit and don't think of what what the outome of today's election in Spain may be    ).

[AndyD.]

Ottman's score at times gets into more "uncomfortable" harmonic areas, making this stand way out from the usual superhero fare. A current favorite of mine.

Bit heavy and draggy, but the orchestra sounds great.

Bit heavy and draggy, but the orchestra sounds great.

I haven't heard that one yet, but I'm a bit surprised. Haitink has done Bruckner quite well in the past.

Fibich, Zdenek (1850-1900) - last few days, I've been listening to my collection of this Czech composer - Dave

     

     

[Kontrapunctus]

DVOŘÁK   Saint Ludmilla     oratorio op. 71
Eva Zikmandová, Věra Soukupová, Beno Blachut,
Czech Philharmonic Chorus, Prague S.O.   Václav Smetáček, cond.
not one of the often recorded "greatest hits", this is a transfer of a 1963 session.

Mozart: Piano Concertos 1-4 [Anda]....

[Ken B]

6

Big, spreading Bruckner.

I like this set overall. Don't expect Concertgebouw playing, or Karajan's depth, but the performances sound committed.

[Todd]

Disc 4.  A nice set of Handel Variations, a ho-hum set of Paganini Variations, and a very strong set of Waltzes.

[Kontrapunctus]

Brutal.

[NikF]

Brahms: Symphony No. 3 - Wand/NDR.

[Sergeant Rock]

Brahms: Symphony No. 3 - Wand/NDR.

My favorite performance of the Poco allegretto...

Sarge

[Kontrapunctus]

I finished listening to this today. Some truly jaw-dropping playing.



(I hope he doesn't continue to mimic Uchida's covers!)

Haydn, Quartets op 77, 1,2,3
Mosaiques

First listen to this piano recital:

Wow - truly special. Lubimov really blurs the lines here between different musical languages; CPE Bach sounds crazily modern, Valentin Silvestrov sounds Mozartian, John Cage and Debussy enter into dialogue, and all the works performed are superb. Great artistry by Lubimov, not just in assembling this bold century-hopping program but in performing it so that the choices make total sense. A new favorite.
