Amalie, many thanks. I will check these out. I have a video somewhere called "Great Composers" from the BBC. About ten years ago. I only have the Beethoven and Mozart but they are fine programmes and on the Beethoven one, the leaader of the Lindsays ((I am sorry I don't recall his name) discusses and performs the Rasumovsky Quartets in an extremely compelling way. By the way, right now I am listening to Bliss's Viola Sonata by Peter Donohoe piano and Martin Outram viola. Courtesy yet again of Naxos. Worth checking out - gorgeous music. Thaks again for replying

Many thanks


Sorry Tony, I have just caught up with your message.
Yes, I have heard the Guarneri Quartet are excellent.
I can also recommend the recording I have of Beethoven's Late String Quartets by the Lindsay String Quartet.
I find the Lindsay's very expressive playing and empathetic . They really play the music from the inside and have an understanding Beethoven. There is a very plangent and emotional quality to their playing.
Having said all that, I have been meaning to get round to purchasing a recording of B's Late String Quartets by the Vegh Quartet.
The Talich Quartet are also excellent.

Hope this helps!

The 7th Symphony because the funeral march on the 'Snickers' commercial reminded me and Missa Solemnis because I'm going to hear it live next week!!!

[Pastorali]

Yesterday, all Quartets of Opus18, this morning the three Op. 59, 'Rasumovski' by hyperion.

I wish, all Opus could have this lenght!

Joseph Gabriel Rheinberger, (1839-1901) http://www.rheinberger.li/

Big Mass in C, for Soli, Choir & Orchestra, Op.169, just my cup of tea!

Quartet in E for Strings - #11 - D 353 - Franz Schubert - Such a pity that condoms weren't around in 1822!

Weren't condoms invented by the Greeks in 26BC.
Robert Schumann could have benifited from one (or two) of these in his wallet.

Now playing...The Suite Number 5 in E major by George Frederick Handel.

Yeah, but I don't think they were effective for disease prevention, in any case, half the population of Vienna had VD of some type or other.
But to give Schubert his due, I am now listening to his Quartet in d minor #14 D 810 - "Death and the Maiden" Such drama!

Am listening right now to Missa Solemnis Nikolaus Harnoncourt Arnold Schoenberg Choir The Chamber Orchestra of Europe. Supreme and sublime. Where are you going to hear this Master work next week?

Why am I currently pulled so often to Vivaldi?
Cello Concerto, G major, RV 415
What would life be without miracles!

[Gurn Blanston]

Pastorali,
That sounds great. If you are liking Vivaldi AND cello, let me recommend to you the Op 14 sonatas for cello and continuuo. They are outstanding.
As for me, I am still celebrating Haydn, this morning the Trio for Piano & Strings in f# minor Hob 16:39. Written after the 2 big London trips, these very late trios have enough complicated interest for anyone to like!
