What are you currently listening to (Classical)?

@LL21 - you inspired me to have a listen to BPO / Furtwrangler's B's 4th. One of the ones I enjoy the most. The opening of the 4th is one of the best I have come across, noise and all.

There is what.. - over 140 Beethoven cycles released now? Something like that I read somewhere. This one is probably the benchmark for me, again noise and all.

Here is the wiki link to Furtwrangler. It is, I suggest, instructive.

On PrimePhonic. Released 2018 by the BPO on their own label

Two different guys, I think.

Amen. It's what he does.

Agreed. So far, I am generally positive.

Yes but I'd put this half-series ahead of it:

Wow, what a great find! Just listening to No 3: love the pace and energy of the first movement. The forward percussion is a treat, too. Can't wait to hear his 6-9.

A delightful weekend of listening ahead. Thanks!
