Listenin' to Classical Music and Conversation

First listen to "Graupner - Partitas for Harpsichord Vol. 3" performed by Genevieve Soly on Analekta.

Partitas GWV 103 & 150
Februarius GWV 110

 

I like it, but the sound quality is mediocre. ...but at least the vinyl is in very good condition.

 

I will report back my impression after I have had a second listen ...

 

Looks like I will not resume my first listen to this box for a while as it is not high on my listening priority ...

 

This set came out in Europe in June this year (2017):

 

First listen to CD 3 from "Defense De La Basse De Viole" performed by the Ricercar Consort on Ricercar.

 

Playing Mozart Piano Quartets on the TT. This DG recording from 1982 by the Amadeus Quartet is my long-time favorite, but the mid-'60s recording on Columbia by the Budapest Quartet is a close runner-up.

 

First listen to CD 3 from "Narciso Yepes - The Complete Solo Recordings" on DG.

Fernando Sor - 24 Etudes

 

CD 3. Symphonies 4 & 5. The 5th concludes on CD 4.

 

First listen to CD 2 from "Joseph Bodin de Boismortier - Transition baroque" performed by Jean-Louis Charbonnier (basse de viole) and Claire Giardelli (violoncelle) on Ligia.

 

It may be a good idea for me to wait for Analekta to release a big box on Graupner ...

 

Going on the TT: A couple of well-known Romantic concertos from a lesser known pianist. The SQ is above average for this early (1984) digital recording.

 

Whatever happened to her? I used to see her recordings displayed at records shops often back in the day though I do not have any of her recordings. Did she flame out?

 

She is still active, this is her most recent recording (I think).

 

Hope to stumble upon it this summer!

 

There is always hope at your favorite records shop!

 

Op. 132 and 135 (disc 6). Sublime.

 

When I need a Baroque "fix" and can't decide what to play, I often pull down this LP which is a great smorgasbord.
The liner notes are all in German, so I don't have a clue what it says about the compositions, but this appears to be a sampler put out by Telefunken-Decca (L'Oiseau-Lyre) with six complete works from their catalog of recordings that were issued between 1975-78. All the selections are delightful and the recorded sound is superb.

 

Now playing the following CD from my Brahms collection ...

 

It is kind of odd to see this recording under the Telefunken label ...

 

Now playing the following CD from my Liszt collection ...

 

There you go, another AAM/L'Oiseau-Lyre I don't have. Have never seen it before.

 

But it looks like it was released under Telefunken ...

 

First listen to "Bach - The Six Keyboard Partitas Vol. 1" performed by Sergey Schepkin on Ongaku Records.

Partitas I-IV.

 

Glad to oblige! I'll have to look for some more...
