What are you currently listening to (Classical)?

Mostly because of Fleisher, who I saw perform this concerto with the Cleveland Orchestra many years ago. Interestingly, he specialized in this concerto for many years when his right hand function was lost. He was able to regain its use after 30 years and began to play two-handed repertoire again.

The "Wandererfantasie" today. I think I prefer this interpretation to Pollini's, Brendel's, and Richter's. Great sound, too, if just a trifle distant for my taste.

 

[Bachtoven]

My, he really rips through the "Waldstein" Sonata! Op.110 is sublime. Great sound, too.

Just the Barber Symphony on this wonderful sounding SACD.

 

[Bachtoven]

For starters, this disc has stunningly realistic sound--the two musicians are practically in one's living room, yet there is plenty of hall sound. Next is the extremely powerful and sensitive playing. If the contents appeal to you, then I highly recommend this recording.

I have the 24-bit download version and it is indeed beautifully recorded and very enjoyable music. Listening to it as I type this .

Alessandrini plays with great gusto, and the sound is wonderfully present and clear.

Loved many of Jordi Savall's albums on the Astree label!

Concluded today's listening with Op.102 No.2. Sublime.

I don't know this one, even though I have it. So, it's like "first play" tonight.

^^ I'd never steer anyone wrong!

D.960 today.

 

[Bachtoven]

In honor of Handel's birthday, Concerto Grossi 9-12 played by an enormous string section with lots of vibrato--just the way he envisioned it! This 1964 recording still sounds great.

 

[LL21]

Did not know it is Handel's Birthday. Great music. If i had to rank, perhaps Handel, Haydn and Bach. Fortunately, we dont have to rank when we play...we can play from lots of composers!

This recording has received mix reviews, but I thoroughly enjoyed it, and I guess that's all that matters. Excellent sound, cheesy cover.
