Listenin' to Classical Music and Conversation

Strongly . This should be the latest version of the Brandenburgs I have added to my collection and I have over 30 versions of these works ...

The version before this is, IIRC, the following



This is the only recording by the Bach Collegium Japan in my collection.

 

Beautifully played and recorded.

 

Now playing CD1 - Symphonies in G minor, No. 1 and overture from the following box ...

 

But some of the Philips reissues appear to use the original LP covers. Brand-new PentaTone recordings use photos of the artists, etc. I have very few DG reissues but have noticed the packaging has changed ...

 

Pentatone never used the original LP covers - they used a few photos but mostly clipart and such for their pre-2014 releases.

 

Now playing CD1 - Lyric Pieces for piano, Books 1 - 4 from the following box from my Grieg collection ...

 

Listening to "Lux Feminae 900-1600" by Montserrat Figueras on Alia Vox Spain.

 

First listen to CD 18 from "Alfred Brendel - Complete Recordings" on Decca.

Mozart - Piano Concertos Nos. 18 (K456) & 19 (K459) The Academy of St. Martin-In-The-Fields & Sir Neville Marriner

 

First listen to CD 25 from "Ferenc Fricsay - Complete Recordings On DG Vol.1 - Orchestral Works".

Kodaly - Hary Janos Suite / Symphony in C Major Radio-Symphonie-Orchester Berlin

 

this lady had a divine voice.

 

One of the most beautiful albums I own.

 

The Alia Vox catalogue is just amazing. We can pick at random and its pearl after pearl, im still yet to hear a bad Alia Vox recording.

 

@bluemooze can I ask you if you know Heinrich Ignaz Franz Biber? No doubt you do. I find it just unbelieavable beautiful/heavenly music and I rarely see it mentioned here or elsewhere, quite an underrated composer in my opinion. Any thoughts?
this came to mind beacause I discover him many years ago through Alia Vox records.

 

Primephonic.

 

I searched the forum for Biber posted by me and I guess I have about 10 Biber recordings.

 

im only at 7 but I need more. lol.

 

this conversation had opened my apetite



this is so good that hurts.

 

I have 14 Biber CD singles but may have more in big boxes ...

 

lets continue this path. Another excellent record with another 2 beautiful works

 

I have the following big box of Tartini, a minor Italian baroque composer. He was certainly no Vivaldi or Corelli but his works sound wonderful to my ears ...

 

Below is the only Biber choral work by Savall in my collection ...



I have Biber other choral works by Harnoncourt

 

I have some Tartini works or records but im not finding them, just 1 or 2. I remember being quite good, since I dont listen to them in decades. Maybe I got it on vinyl beacause im not finding in my cds but nowadays i dont have a turnable to listen them.
