    If I were Esfahni, that (or any of the sculptures) wouldn't be my first choice for a CD cover, but I think the artist and his work are interesting.

    Ah yes, Rodin, forgot about him. And Zadkine.

    A BBC documentary that aired last week discussed this opera in some detail, and so I thought I'd try to get a copy. It arrived this morning, and it's very attractive music indeed.

    Listening to CD 41 from the "L'Oiseau Lyre - The Baroque Era" box.

    Domenico Scarlatti - Harpsichord Sonatas performed by Colin Tilney.

    From this superb set:

    This is such a gorgeous work with some haunting melodies and sonorities. It has an almost rumba-like middle section that Bernstein fans would certainly recognize as being not far removed from West Side Story.

    Symphony No. 2, “The Age of Anxiety”
    Krystian Zimerman, piano
    Berliners
    Rattle

    This has got to be one of Rattle’s best performances while in Berlin. Of course, Zimerman’s performance is remarkable.

    I’m trying to count, how many times did Haitink record the 3rd? Four times? I know there’s the first one with the Concertgebouw, then Berliners, CSO and Bavarian RSO. I can’t remember if he recorded it again in Concertgebouw in that Christmas Matinee Concerts box set. If so, then he recorded this symphony five times.

    I've really come to love Borodin's symphonies.

    Borodin: In the Steppes of Central Asia
    Ippolitov-Ivanov: Caucasian Sketches, Orchestral Suite No. 1, Op. 10

    Could well be. I remember watching Haitink conduct Mahler at the Christmas matinee shows live on TV back in the day. Wonderful!

    A remarkable set. I also like the Scelsi series on the Stradivarius label. I think there’s eight volumes now.

    He's used that artist's sculptures before...
    [​IMG]

    and he probably will continue doing so for the rest of the Bach series.

    I finished listening to the new Alina Ibragimova release of Paganini-24 Caprices. How would I describe what I heard? Jaw-dropping!
