What are you listening to now?

[Michael]

The Emperor Concerto. Ashkenazy, Solti and the Chicago SO.

For some reason (over-familiarity?) I haven't listened to this work in ages. It holds up well.

[Sorrano]

Dvorak: Serenade in D, Op. 44

[Sorrano]

This morning:

Arensky:

Symphonic Scherzo

[Quijote]

Bruckner Vth Symphony, second movement, that show Bruckner employing earlier harmony exercises he did with Simon Sechter, specifically sequences of falling sevenths. See bars 23-26.
It just so happens I'm teaching 'Secondary 7ths' tomorrow, and I wanted a couple of illustrative examples!

[Roehre]

Roehre, are you listening to a specific Mahler cycle?

Bertini's.
IMO one of the very few which is interpratively convincingly done throughout and very transparently recorded..
Only a pity of the vibrato of the soprano in 2.

[Roehre]

Mahler:
Symphony no.4 (Bertini)

Today:
Mahler:
Symphony no.5 (Bertini)

Holliger:

Tallis:

[Enrique]

The Emperor Concerto. Ashkenazy, Solti and the Chicago SO.

For some reason (over-familiarity?) I haven't listened to this work in ages. It holds up well.

I made up my mind to give it a listening too, some days ago, although not such illustrious interpreters as in your case.

Copland
Fanfarre for the Common Man

Beethoven
Piano trio no 1

[Sorrano]

Last night:

Schubert: Symphony No. 6

I found the extensive use of winds very interesting.

[Quijote]

Prompted by Chris's 'Schiff on Haydn' thread :

Haydn : St Nicholas Mass. I have to say that I find this Mass leaves Beethoven's Mass in C standing. Sorry Louis!

Haydn : 'Cello Concerto in C, 3rd movement. I wonder if Louis ever heard it? I doubt it. If he had ... dream on !!!!

[Roehre]

Nothing yesterday, as I had a meeting near Llanberis, just before the flash flood there.
Luckily enough no personal harm and my car only lightly damaged (damaged front wheel seal and a bent exhaust).
Cars of two colleagues of mine were not so lucky: nearly submerged and severely damaged respectively.
It took me 6 hours and a 50 miles detour to get home (A5 and A55 closed didn't help.) Normally some 25 minutes.
No time for music whatsoever, I'm afraid.

Today:
Cornelius:
Requiem

Mahler:
symphony no.6

Giovanni Gabrieli:
Intonazione del nono Tono (p.1593)
Fuga del nono Tono (1593?)
In Ecclesiis a 14 (p.1615)
Magnificat a 14 (p.1615)
Canzon VII (p.1615)

Monteverdi:
Adoramus te Christe (p.1620)
Exulta filia Sion (p.1624)
currite Populi (p.1625)
Christe adoramus te (p.1620)

Lotti (c.1667-1740):
Crucifixus a 10
Crucifixus a 6

Legrenzi:
Sonata di chiesa "La Bevilaqua" op.8/8 (p.1663)

[Sorrano]

Sorry to hear about the flash flooding, Roehre! Is Llanberis subject to flash flooding? There are places in the south of Utah that are during the summer, due to sudden thunderstorms. Vehicles can be repaired and replaced but humans are a bit more difficult; glad you are okay.

thanks Sorrano.
Llanberis is normally not prone to flash flooding, but this time heavy rain (2 inches within approx. 2 hours) was concentrated around Mount Snowdon. Llanberis is located at its foot.

A veritable 'wild animal' live concert today (at my daughter's music school / "family concert"):

Enrique (in particular) : note his bowing technique, though not as good as in his prime.
