MAHLER

Symphony No. 6 in A minor

Still my favorite of all Mahler symphonies.

Сергей Сергеевич [Sergei Sergeyevich]

Ruprecht: Sergei Leiferkus
Renata: Galina Gorchakova
& al.
Mariinsky Theatre Chorus & Orchestra
Gergiev

Prokofiev – 6 Operas

This is a big noise in the most wonderful way; no wonder the composer found the repeated failures to bring it to the stage vexatious.

(There's a geeky way in which I am enjoying the use of my newly-improved familiarity with some of the material via the Third Symphony.  But the whole piece is a great blast of a night at the theatre.)

From Disc 1, an exquisite Marian anthem:

Tallis
Ave rosa sine spinis
Chapelle du Roi
Alistair Dixon

Thomas Tallis – Complete Works [ 10 discs ]

[SonicMan46]

Titz, Anton Ferdinand (1742-1810) - String Quartets, Vols. 2/3 w/ Hoffmeister Quartet on period instruments; from 1771, Titz was employed in the Imperial Court of St. Petersburg - a recommendation from Gurn in the classical thread -

That's a nice pair!!  Sorry, I had to say it.

Tallis
Alleluia, ora pro nobis
Euge coeli porta
Chapelle du Roi
Alistair Dixon

Thomas Tallis – Complete Works [ 10 discs ]

You know, the juxtaposition of Tallis and Prokofiev is every bit as woolly (in a gratifying way) as that of Gesualdo & Stravinsky.

And about time I listened to this one, really:

I picked up a disc of Kalman highlights a year or so ago, because Kalman seemed like someone I would like. Well, I have finally gotten around to giving the disc a proper listen and what a discovery! Lovely tunes, wonderful singing and great panache!
