NP:

Honegger
String Quartet No. 2, H. 103
Quatuor Ludwig

From this OOP set -



@Spotted Horses mentioned these Quatuor Ludwig performances of Honegger's SQs weren't anything too special compared with the earlier performances from the Erato Quartet. Well, I own that recording, too and I'm going to have to disagree with him there. I find these Quatuor Ludwig performances more dynamic and emotional.

Tippett: Piano Concerto

A piece that feels by turns strangely-proportioned, free-roaming, thematically rich in connection and shot through with radiant outbursts of beauty and endless invention. What wonders Tippett spun. Excellent from all involved.

Dallapiccola: Canti di liberazione, for chorus and orchestra

One of my favourite pieces by Dallapiccola. AFAIK, this is the only recording the work has received. Metzmacher is excellent in this  repertoire (I saw him conduct Il Prigioniero live at the Teatro Real here in Madrid several years ago, and he was great.

TD:

More Elliot Carter chez ritter this evening.

Michael Gielen conducts the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra in the Piano Concerto (with Ursula Oppens as soloist) and the Variations for Orchestra.

Bruckner Symphony No. 1 in C Minor, 1877 Linz version with revisions - Ed. Leopold Nowak, Berliner Philharmoniker, Seiji Ozawa

[brewski]

Watching Mendelssohn's String Quartet No. 4 with the Elias String Quartet, new to me, and they are superb.

Great Hartmann pcs, too!

I don't know them yet and I imagine they're interesting. I've been able to dig his music most of the time.

There is this recording, but not sure if it is on CD too:

Tippett: Piano Concerto

A real beauty. There's no any other concerto like this one. It's got a special lyricism that bewitches with ease.

Pounds the table! I missed that phrase.

Hindemith was a great conductor of his own music.

Great recording and nice (mono) recording sound!

[Symphonic Addict]

Wolf: String Quartet in D minor

A symphonic quartet with plenty of great moments and ideas. The slow movement is redolent of Beethoven's one from his String Quartet No. 15, although less transcendent.

More Elliot Carter chez ritter this evening.

Michael Gielen conducts the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra in the Piano Concerto (with Ursula Oppens as soloist) and the Variations for Orchestra.
