What are you listening to now?

[Joy]

It must be a Beethoven morning, already on the radio has been Beethoven's Sextet for Winds, his Symphony #8, and his Piano Sonata No. 25 in G Op 79 which is a delightful piece.

[Joy]

Sonata for Piano, Four hands in D K 38 by Mozart with Dezso Ranki, keyboard and Zoltan Kocsis, piano. Very good and well played.

[JA Gardiner]

LVB - Romances for violin and orchestra as played by David Oistrakh and our own Royal Philharmonic conducted by Eugene Goosens. Gorgeous!

Joy, didn't you mean kv.381?
well I had the opportunity to go to a free concert thursday, the programme was Brahms' 1st symphony in c minor, Rach's 2nd pianoconcerto in C minor and the ouverture to il barbier di seviglia by Rossini. It was performed by the Symphonic orchestra of my school and students had free access. Wonderful account, it's so thrilling to see and hear pieces like this live, I never heard the brahms before and I was very pleasantly surprised.

Beethoven/Szell/Gilels, Piano Concerto No.1 (er, 2). My very favorite recording of this work. Now, sigh, out of print!

Faure's Requiem

It's Saturday night and Faure's Requiem with scotch comforts hits the spot. It's too cold here to go out tonight.

Haydn - Die Schopfung - Leonard Bernstein and the Bavarian Radio Chorus and Symphony Orchestra

[Geratlas]

Good old masterpieces

I am in for Beethoven's concertos. Op.15 (Lupin/Hogwood/AAM, very [very!] good). Also the Konzertant, and the Violin Concerto with cadenzas by J.Joachim.Very technical and tasteful. / Have a nice week, will you. I will!

[Peter]

Beethoven's Razumovsky no.1 - I simply adore this piece, one of my favourites out of all the quartets.

[ntg1213]

Maxim Vengerov's recording of the Tchaikovsky Concerto, perhaps the best recording I've ever heard of this great piece, certainly my favorite.

Also, Barenboim's recording of the 15th piano sonata.

[Tony John Hearne]

Haydn "The Seasons" Rene Jacobs and the Freiburger Barockorchester Listen to Der Fruhling 6 and try not to feel uplifted - impossible

[Gurn Blanston]

The 6 Quartets for Strings from Op 18 - The Smithson Quartet - Deutsche Harmonia Mundi. Very nice (HIP) performances on a set that is out of print, and which I feel fortunate to have found in "Used, like new" condition on a web site in Germany. It cost a bloody fortune to ship to Texas, but worth every penny!

[Joy]

The Andante Favori WOO 57 by Beethoven with Claudio Arrau, piano.

[Peter]

Mendelssohn - Violin Concerto and Barenboim playing the Songs without words.

[Joy]

On the radio Variations on a Theme by Handel by Beethoven with Yehuda Hanani, cello and Walter Ponce, piano.
