Today:

Witt:
Symphony in C “Jena” (c.1795) (between 1912 and 1957 attr. Beethoven)

I've listened to this a good few times and I still can't figure out how it could have been attributed to Beethoven. I know how the musicologists were fooled by an inscription, but it still sounds pure Haydn to me.
(And not very good Haydn at that because none of the themes stay in my mind. I usually give up listening after the second movement - which makes me a half-witt.)

[Chris]

Bach:
Sonata BWV 1020
Sonata BWV 1031
Sonata BWV 1035

Telemann:
Trio sonata in B-flat major for recorder, harpsichord and basso continuo
Trio sonata in F major for recorder, viola da gamba and basso continuo
Fantasy No. 1 in C major for solo recorder

On a recorder disc with Denis St-Germain (Recorder), Myriam Chabot (Harpsichord), and Sizue Napper (Viola da gamba).

Charming works, and the recorder gives a different feel to the Bach sonatas, which I like.

Today: B's complete string quartets (played by Alban Berg quartet), shuffled in my MP3 player, while doing groceries...

Must try that! Hearing mixed-up movements can give you a different slant.

It is known that Beethoven had attempted a symphony based on Haydn's no.97 in C and there are also parallels with that work and Witt's Jena symphony.

[Peter]

Listening yesterday to Charpentier's Te deum.

Honegger:

Pettersson:
Symphony no.4 (1959)

The latest BBC MM CD : In dulci jubilo,
with seasonal repertoire sung by The Choir of Gonville & Caius College.
Amazing choice of repertoire –many non-trodden paths- in very nice performances (though some of the soloists are a bit wobbly).

[Michael]

Beethoven's secular cantata "The Moment of Glory" (or "The Glorious Moment- whichever you prefer).

[Roehre]

Beethoven's secular cantata "The Moment of Glory" (or "The Glorious Moment- whichever you prefer).

Do you mind just calling it Der glorreiche Augenblick

Not one of his best works, but the sopranosolo with that violin solo is a great moment even by Beethoven's standards. (But that lasts only 4 minutes or so of IIRC in total some 40 minutes)
