    How is it? I have the MAK/Goebel, EBE/Pinnock and Concerto Italiano / Alessandrini. They are all different but excellent performances in my view, but I don't listen to the Pinnock often because the version on CD is too compressed to my taste, which makes for a fatiguing listening experience with headphones (which is how I mostly listen to music).

    It is okay but offers lots of nostalgia as it represents the old way baroque music used to be performed. I have over 30 versions of the Brandenburg Concertos so the chance for me to want to spin this set anytime soon is low ...

    The cover doesn't do much for me, but he's an outstanding pianist. Great sound, too. (24/96 FLAC) His Fazioli piano sounds wonderful.

    From Limelight: "Its title borrowed from The Hunchback of Notre Dameby Victor Hugo, Spira, Spera(Breathe, Hope) was prompted by the near-catastrophic fire in the historic Parisian cathedral in 2019. Remembering childhood visits there to hear performances of Bach on its venerable Cavaillé-Coll organ, Emmanuel Despax responded with this artfully sequenced, eloquently dispatched compendium of transcriptions for piano."

    Hello everybody!

    I hope it's okay for me to post a question in here. I've been trying to find the Flagstad recording from the clip below on CD, but with my limited opera knowledge I can't be sure if I'm just not searching for it in the right ways or with the right words, or if it never has never been available on CD. Does anyone on here know?



    Thanks in advance! :angel:

    How about the following set by Flagstad, conducted by Furtwangler ...

    I suspect the Wagner Ring by Flagstad is also in the following Furtwangler Legacy box, which I bought over 10 years ago though I have not taken the time to go through the recordings ...

    I’ll probably end up listening to this entire recording:

    This could lead to other Saint-Saëns recordings. He’s one of those ‘potato chip’ composers for me.

    Here is Kirsten Flagstad singing Liebestod from Wagner Tristan und Isolde. No video, only singing and applause ...

    I haven’t listened to this symphony in ages. I’m quite enjoying it I must say. Also, I refuse to call Mahler’s symphonies any of the nicknames that have been given to them by other musicians during Mahler’s own time and afterwards. These nicknames were never Mahler-approved.

    I never could quite get into Boulez’s Mahler for some reason. He’s one of my favorite conductors, especially when it comes to so many of my favorite composers, but there just seems to be a disconnect here. Of course, and if we’re talking about Germanic music, Boulez totally nailed Schoenberg, Berg, Webern and that Bruckner 8th of his (w/ the Wiener Philharmoniker) is magnificent. It just seems he’s not too interested in Mahler’s music to make his performances stand out from an incredibly crowded field.

    I've enjoyed the Jean-Marie Leclair I've heard so far in the Paillard Erato box, but this disc is a step above. The Violin Concerto in D major is the stand out.

    Leclair: Violin Concerto in A major, Op. 10, No. 2
    Leclair: Violin Concerto in D major, Op. 7, No. 2
    Leclair: Violin Concerto in G minor, Op. 10, No. 6
