[Sorrano]

Last night: Schubert's 1st Symphony

This morning: Canzonettas by Barber adn Pierne

[Megan]

Anton Bruckner — Symphony no. 1 in C minor vers. 'Linz' [1865-6]

[Michael]

I forgot to add Tchaikovsky's Marche Slave to this morning's listening.

We will ignore it on this occasion, but please be more careful in future!

It's a beautiful day here and I've just been listening (outside, on my iPod) to Opus 111 played by Ashkenazy.
The only problem is, I played it too early in the day and I find it difficult to listen to any more music after that final movement.

[Sorrano]

Last night was Schubert's 1st Symphony. I didn't forget anything this time.

[Preston]

Sorry, no, never heard of them...

When I listen to jam/rock music I usually listen to them. They jam and rock hard. A quite talented band. I would recommend buying their album "Til' the Medicine Takes".

[Michael]

Opus 110 with Ashkenazy again.
It's interesting that Beethoven quotes from Bach's "Es ist vollbracht" in the third movement. He also uses the Bach melody in the development section of the first movement of his A major Cello Sonata.
He also wrote a piece of his own with the same title as the final part of Friedrich Treischke's Singspiel 'The Triumphal Arches', WoO97.

[Eva]

Right now it's Kempff's rendition of Op 10 no 3 - the piano sonata in D. Doesn't get played enough to be honest, it's a wonderful piece .

Haven't decided which cycle of the sonatas to buy yet, so I'm listening to as many different versions on youtube at the moment. So hard to pick a favourite for the entire set, as different pianists excell at different pieces. What to do
