What are you listening to now?

[Sorrano]

Anton Bruckner

You did not mean the complete works, did you?

[Megan]

You did not mean the complete works, did you?

Oh thanks for noticing Sorrano, duly amended. I let slip there when I copied the pieces .

I enjoyed my afternoon listening, when I have the house to myself.

[Sorrano]

Last night:

Dvorak: Symphony No. 8

[Enrique]

Bach
Chaconne from suite no.2 for solo violin (original instrumentation).

Beethoven
Missa Solemnis, Santus - Benedictus - Agnus Dei.
Orchestre révolutionnaire et romantique.

==============================
Mozart's piano concerto no. 17, which Megan was listening to yesterday, has one of the most touching slow movements he wrote.

[Quijote]

Beethoven Missa Solemnis, Santus - Benedictus - Agnus Dei.
Orchestre révolutionnaire et romantique.

That would be with Eliot Gardiner?
We don't often talk about the 'Missa solemnis' on this forum. Adorno called it an "alienated masterpiece".

[Enrique]

Elliot Gardiner indeed. I'll will have to read this Adorno for, contrary to the Mass, he is very often quoted here.

[Sorrano]

Bach
Chaconne from suite no.2 for solo violin (original instrumentation).

Beethoven
Missa Solemnis, Santus - Benedictus - Agnus Dei.
Orchestre révolutionnaire et romantique.

==============================
Mozart's piano concerto no. 17, which Megan was listening to yesterday, has one of the most touching slow movements he wrote.

Those are my favorite parts of the Missa Solemnis and I do like the Gardiner recording a lot. It's one I had to grow into as I had another I preferred and used as a benchmark.

My favorite Mozart slow movement comes from the 22nd Piano Concerto. After listening to all of his concerti I find that is one of my favorite genres for Mozart.

[Enrique]

Mine too.

[Sorrano]

This evening (on Performance Today):

Bruckner?: Symphonic Prelude in C Minor

It may not be Bruckner (do you know anything about this, Quijote?) but it does have some very Brucknerian sounds. Regardless of who composed it, I quite liked it.

[Enrique]

Bach
Cello Suite No. 5 in C Minor BWV1011, first number of the suite.

Bloody youtube won't let me know the name of the performer (or may be just my browser). Later, and following Peter's example,

Prokofiev
Symphony No.5

The first movement begins in a fashion reminiscent of Romeo and Juliet!

Bach
Cantata (profane) No.209

[Sorrano]

This morning:

Sir William Walton: Symphony No. 2

Bruckner: Intermezzo in D

[Enrique]

Beethoven
Mass in D major, Kyrie.

[Enrique]

Mozart
Symphonies 25, 28, 29

No. 25 was a surprise for me, coz I realized I had stored in my mind, from my childhood, the trio and, as so many things absorbed at that age, they have a unique taste.

[Sorrano]

This morning:

Walton: Viola Concerto

Tchaikovsky: Symphony No. 6, 3rd Movement

[Megan]

Bach
Cello Suite No. 5 in C Minor BWV1011, first number of the suite.

Bloody youtube won't let me know the name of the performer (or may be just my browser). Later, and following Peter's example,Prokofiev
Symphony No.5

Bach

Enrique, if you find that Bach piece on youtube again, I will show you how to find more info about the piece. It's just a matter of clicking on show more info. Unless you already did this.
