What are you currently listening to (Classical)?

One of the better modern composers in my estimation.

After months of stasis the steady collection of silver discs is regaining momentum. This UK release of works by five Mexican composers was a pleasant surprise among a pile of possibles.

@Ron Resnick and @Hi-FiGuy recently brought to the surface a boil years of massaging have yet to salve. Not this impeccable performance or any element of the recording. Loss of the studio and college radio station outside of town down a dirt road at a remove from farm equipment and all other modern disturbances that would upset equipment or ability to capture performances such as this one. Idyllic to say the least. As personified below.

New to this forum. The Razumovsky String Quartets on this recording are beautiful. A favorite of my late father.
 
Depending on how orthodox you are classifying what constitutes classical music, for some Astor Piazolla may not count as a traditional, classical composer. Still, he is an artist worth having in a vinyl collection.

Recent album featured Mexican composers Copland felt existed in his chosen field. Jazz pianism of Classical works, grrr.


Valuable chance to hear these performances in lieu of being present as the fragile, and no doubt exceedingly rarely played, vinyl was spinning. Someone here probably owns two of each and plays one of them at least every month! :p

One of the better known organ performances available during that short period where mention of dual release on Compact Disc and Vinyl echoed Mono and Stereo releases placement on the rear of albums.
