The Triple Concerto was beating my poor ears to death this morning so I changed to a little gentler fare.
Listening now to Brahms Violin Sonatas Nos. 1-3 Itzhak Perlman - Violin Vladimir Ashkenazy - Piano These guys play well together - certainly no surprise - a very good recording.

From Renaissance to Baroque !
Album : Handel Concerti Grossi Opus 6
Composer : George Frederick Händel Artist : The Avison Ensemble (Pavlo Beznosiuk) Released : 2010 Label : Linn I have heard so many good things about that version, from Julian and others, that I had to buy it. Last night, I downloaded the high resolution FLAC files (24-bit / 88200Hz) from Linn Records and I'm now listening to the contents of Disc 1 (Concerti Nos. 1-5) for the first time. What a glorious performance and sound ! Thanks Julian for praising the Avison Ensemble. I'm happy to have followed your recommendation ! Guy |

I went to high school with Paul O'Dette. Man, I wish I could hear this. He has come a long way from thrashing out "Gloria" on the old electric guitar.

I'm listening to . . . Kathleen Battle - Itzhak Perlman - The Bach Album
Orchestra of St. Lukes - John Nelson, Conductor DG changed the name of the album from The Bach Album to J. S. Bach Arias - same recording though. Kathleen Battle may have been hard to get along with (fired by the Met) but she had a glorious voice. And Itzhak ain't too bad on the violin either.

Discovering lesser known works, to me at least, from Sibelius !
Album : Sibelius - The Origin of Fire
Composer : Jean Sibelius Genre : Vocal / Choral Artist : Lahti Symphony Orchestra (Osmo Vänskä) - Tommi Hakala, Tom Nyman, YL Male Voice Choir Released : 2007 Label : BIS After the many recent posts about the composer, I was intrigued by this offer from BIS, the Daily Super Bargain of today on eclassical. So I bought it. I just listened to it once and kind of like it ! Quote:

On the table: Antonin Dvorak - "Legends" Op. 59
Philips LP 6500 188 London Philharmonic Orchestra, Raymond Leppard It seems like everything I play is for the first time, and this is no different...it took the place of Prokofiev's 5th Symphony (which my wife vetoed when she got home)...I wasn't in the mood for it, either.
