What Classical Music Are You Listening To Tonight?

Italiane Baroque




CD 3: Francesco Geminiani - Concerti Grossi con due violini, viola e violoncello di concertino obligati, e due altri violini e basso di concerto grosso - composti sull'opera v d'Arcangelo Corelli

What a title!
We have a guest from the UK, and she just loves this music, so the best thing to do was putting CD 3 in the tray.

With music from Fiorenza, Porpora, Leo, Sabatino.

SACD 12 from this box:

Johann Sebastian Bach - Complete Organ Works played on Silbermann organs




Volume 12: Villingen - Benediktinerkirche, Ute Gremmel-Geuchen

The music speaks for itself (wonderful box!).
Here you have a couple of pics of the church and its organ:

Currently listening to Bach's Cello Suites on the radio.
Tomorrow starts the Queen Elisabeth Competition, this year for the first time for Cello.




To prepare its listeners, radio Klara has a six hour programme, one hour for each Cello Suite.
With musicians in the studio, explanations, different versions, etc.
It makes one appreciate even more these masterpieces...

Vivaldi: Concerti Op. 8
Avison Ensemble
Pavlo Beznosiuk, diretor & violin
Linn Records (2011), in 24/192

Superb playing and sound, and it's nice to have all 12 concerti instead of just the usual Four Seasons.

Yesterday's listening:

Bach: Cello Suites
Heinrich Schiff
EMI Classics

Listening to disc 1. Schiff's performance of the cello suites is one of my favorites, second only to Rostropovich. Great stuff.

Bach Violin Concertos
Julia Fischer
A wonderful CD with Julia's usual stellar play. she adds such emotion and feeling in her play. A well recorded favorite!

Dvorák - Hausmusik
The Alberni String Quartet




Adorably romantic (but not overly so) pieces.

[bart]

Mozart - Complete works for keyboard and violin - Volume 2
Gary Cooper & Rachel Podger




Ideal for dinner, but so much more than that.
Wonderful series these SACDs are.

Josquin Desprez - Messes La sol fa re mi - Gaudeamus
Ensembles vocaux Métamorphoses et Biscantor!, Maurice Bourbon




Our UK guest requested some polyphony.
As she knows Tallis and Byrd, I put this in the tray.
She's enchanted.
