Anatol Liadov - Orchestral Works (Järvi/CBSO)

Corey, I've never heard Liadov's music.  How is it in comparison to some of the other Russian composers?

[Brian]

Joseph Joachim Raff.

Symphony No. 4.
Overtures, Benedetto Marcello/Dame Kobold/Die Parole/Concert overture.
Bamberger Symphoniker, Hans Stadlmair.

Five works of great beauty well played, and excellently recorded.

Hello Harry!
Raff's Symphony No 4 is the only Raff symphony I know very well, but it is one I love - excellent, imaginative work, with a great scherzo! Very fine listening. Maybe if the complete symphonies box ever dips down to a bargain price, I will listen to the other 10. 

[Brahmsian]

Faure/Debussy

Piano Trios

Florestan Trio
Hyperion

I was reminded of Borodin the most. Fairly lightweight, but not bad.

[CD]

Johann Nepomuk Hummel - Trumpet Concerto (Reinhardt/Munich PO/Marc Andreae, soloist)

[The new erato]

Loving this box!

Now we expevt the same quick, sequential, thorough runthrough of the Britten box.

Now we expevt the same quick, sequential, thorough runthrough of the Britten box.

You do, do you?

But . . . I haven't been sequential.  I've cherry-picked the first several pieces I wanted to listen to.  I probably won't listen to all four discs today;  so there goes either thorough or quick (one or the other, anyway).

I may just possibly take the Langgaard box in order.  The Britten crate, I'll be quite a while digesting . . . .
