Mozart Symphony Jupiter on period instruments ? My favorite is Immerseel (Anima Eterna) on ZigZag....
;

 

I was referring to the one on DG with Wislocki, Warsaw Philharmonic (25 - 26 April 1959)

I also love Moravec, Haskil, R Serkin and Casadesus's recordings of the Mozart concertos.

 

Yeah, my collection of early music has blasted off like a rocket over the past two years ...

 

I hope Tchaikovsky 6th is an exception. T6 is so dark and can be out right depressing to many ...

 

Now playing this CD, which just arrived today from an Amazon US MP vendor. I am continuing to shy away from non-US based etailers for now given my recent lousy experience ...



The very young Ashkenazy performed Piano Concerto No. 2 splendidly. With performance like this plus excellent sound at 24/96, who needs Bang Bang?

 

Now playing CD3 from this set for a first listen ...

 

Thanks to the mention of Bruckner symphonies I just listened to HvK's fine mid 60ies reading og Symphony 8.c-dur HAAS Rendition CD 116 from the box set and now Jochum's take on 4 and 9.
Like it mellow strings elegant flow...

 

Mine also but in the past year.
I never realized how much I like it over Opera!
Much of the Consort stuff is fun and whimsical music from the period.
Opera is kinda serious and drab also in a foreign language I can't understand.
All of the early Consortish music is in English I can understand..

 

listened tonight to Mahler's Kindertotenlieder & Ruckert Lieder,some of the most
beautiful music ever written,beautifully sung by Janet Baker.orchestras:Halle' & New
Philharmonia,conducted by Sir John Barbirolli.the Kindertotenlieder were recorded
5/4/67 at Abbey Road.on the same day the Beatles were working on mixes for
Magical Mystery Tour (the song.)

 

no one, I guess!

 

I am just finishing with the 4rth CD and the experience was good.

 

Now playing CD4, the last CD from this set for a first listen ...

 

Ok I got this today and it's VERY nice but I'm in the dark as to the history of the CD label.
Actually the origin of the CD period....my guess is it's direct from Germany.

Can someone here possibly have some info on this?

 

Now playing this CD, which arrived from MDT last week for a first listen ...

 

I am fine with early music sung in language other than English. I just prefer early music over opera and that has nothing to do with the language.

 

Come on, don't we have some fans of Bang Bang at this corner?

 

Ahhhhhh..... "The Earthquake Mass".....lemme know how it is.
I was wondering about that one myself.

 

Or is it the Armageddon Mass?

 

Jim, How do you like this CD? I have owned it for a number of years ...

 

it's a great piece and deserves a wide audience. i have the version by van nevel/huelgas ensemble.

 

I have a number of other recordings by van nevel/huelgas ensemble and they are great - highly virtuosic and inspirational singing ...

 

Was wondering about that one also.
I have it on my bucket list.

These 2 I have by the Ann 4 are awesome and I like em a LOT!!

 

No I'm sure.....

I have plan to get EVERY recording by the Anonymous 4 ...
