[Bachtoven]

Beautifully played and nicely recorded, but the playing time is rather skimpy (43 and 48 minutes for disc 1 and 2, respectively). He could easily have added another hour of music, but I suppose that would defeat the purposes of issuing only the French Suites!

Ernst Krenek Lamentatio Jeremiæ Prophetæ (Harmonia Mundi)

[Bachtoven]

Impetuous playing and excellent sound.

Chamber music by Artur Schnabel:

 

[andolink]

Arne Nordheim: Tenebrae for cello and orchestra (1982) & Magma for orchestra (1988)
Truls Mørk, cello
Oslo Philharmonic Orchestra/Yoav Talmi

A very excellently engineered recording from 1991.

I bought a used copy, which arrived today, and I was very pleased to see that it had been autographed! Excellent playing and sound. Yarlung uses a minimalist approach (a single stereo tube mic, tube electronics, and records to both analog and hi-res digital--not sure which they used for this recording), which results in tangibly real sound.

This recording from 1988 has very much stood the test of time for me. The performances and recorded sound are vivid and fresh. It's always a joy to slip this into the CD player!

For Beethoven's birthday today. Shimkus' Op.106 is still my reference for both the performance and the fantastic sound.

 

[Bachtoven]

Op. 131.

 

[andolink]

Johannes Brahms: String Quartet in A minor, Op. 51 no. 2

Per Nørgård: Symphony No. 3

Edmund Rubbra: Sonata in C for Oboe and Piano, Op. 100

 

[Bachtoven]

I received this disc today and really like it. Warmly expressive playing, along with tremendous feats of virtuosity, all captured in richly resonant sound (perhaps a little too resonant at times.) It's on the IY label, presumably his own.

By the way, I wish more than 3 or 4 of us posted in this thread!

This is one of my faves. The recording and performance are top notch.

I listened to this via Tidal yesterday. Great, great performance, love it - thanks!
