Josef Mysliveček - Violiin Concertos - Sinfonia - Ouverture
Collegium 1704, Václav Luks
Leila Schayegh, violin
.
.
Fanfare Magazine doesn't like the violin sound on this album.
They seem to prefer modern instruments.
I find Schayegh brilliant, and i do like HIP.
Light and optimistic pieces, that make one think of Mozart's early violin concertos.
And it seems they were inspired by Mysliveček's violin concertos.
Young Mozart was a great admirer of his Czech colleague.
Václav Luks tries to make the composer's works popular again, like he does with Zelenka.
He was kind enough to sign this CD yesterday after a long concert with his ensemble and choir.
They brought Händel's Messiah.
The ensemble was great, the choir also, the 4 solo singers decent to good.
Luks is kind of hyperkinetic on the scene, and clearly inspires his musicians.

This is one my favorites : Opus 35: The Violin concert by Tchaikovsky. Written in only a few weeks, In that time: hardly no orchestra wanted to perform this, because it was "unplayable": And from all recordings: this one is as far I know, the best performance available: This violin concert is performed very well by a wonderful Philadelphia orchestra, but not only that: it is a big show of one of the greatest violin players all time: Itzhak Perlman. And in this record he is on his best and made the perfect Tchaikovsky opus 35.

Got a lot of vinyl records from a shop in the Netherlands that was closed along time ago. It was via a friend, and there are some amazing recordings inside
This is the first one I like to share, the componist: Miklos Rosza three Hungarian sketches opus 14. notturno Ungherese opus 25, theme variations and finale, opus 13
Played by the RCA Italiana Orchestra
I love this record, the style is Shostakovich, if the music is played blind, I would definitely say: this is Shostakovich, however: it is made by the Hungarian Miklos Rosza and the performance by the Orchestra is very nice. I love this record.

Miklós Rózsa - Violin Concerto - Concerto for String Orchestra - Kaleidoscope - Theme, Variations and Finale
Jennifer Pike, violin
BBC Phiilharmonic, Rumon Gamba
Qobuz 24/96
A discovery to me, thanks to this thread.
Nice!
We saw Jennifer Pike in June playing in a small private concert at the famed violin shop Beare's near Wigmore Hall in London. She was demonstrating four violins that Beare had for sale - 3 Strads and a Guarneri del Gesu. She then played a concert with the golden age Strad (the most valuable of the 3 Strads and the del Gesu). She is a very fine violinist and hearing these rare instruments close up was a great treat. Nothing by Rozsa however.
I do have the famed Heifetz recording of the Rozsa Violin Concerto with the Dallas Symphony conducted by Walter Hendl. Rozsa wrote the concerto for Heifetz who premiered it with Dallas and Hendl in 1956.

For today I listened to 3 violin concertos opus 7 by Jean Marie Leclair, and I love it and will definitely repeat these soon.

Liszt - Wagner - A Faust Overture - A Faust Symphony
Staatskapelle Dresden, Christian Thielemann
Maybe not the absolute best version of the Liszt Symphony, but sometimes I just like to listen AND watch.
Picture and sound are absolutely fine, and I can very well bear the performance.
Music with image tonight! :audiophile:
Bach - Brandenburg Concertos 1-6
Orchestra Mozart, Claudio Abbado
Giuliano Carmignola, principal violin
Claudio Abbado brings his own flavour to these masterpieces, Carmignola plays as if it is all very easy, and the rest of the ensemble is also fantastic (I can especially mention the harpsichord player).
The recording is outstanding, the 5 channels provide a real sense of being there (again, the harpsichord is crystal clear).
What a joy!
Exquisite performances, image and sound.
Abbado was still in excellent shape there (April 2007).
Bye-Bye Berlin
Marion Rampal
Quatuor Manfred
Featuring Raphaël Imbert
Qobuz 24/44.1
Fantastic evocation of Berlin between the 2 world wars.
The string quartet is great, Rampal's German diction is quite good, and the bass clarinet and saxes of Imbert are highly enjoyable.
Bye bye… or Berlin for ever?
Throughout the 1920s, all eyes were turned towards Berlin. Driven by a collective energy, artists of all persuasions (writers, painters, architects, filmmakers and composers) there established the principles of “New Objectivity”, which saw the city become the very epitome of modernity, at the same time as following in the footsteps of other great cities worldwide, not least New York, the birthplace of jazz. Life in Berlin was not the stuff of romance however: strikes, poverty, repression, the rise of Nazism… The post-war social context contributed to the craze that swept the capital for cabaret, a kind of safety valve that allowed for a moral and social release. It is this ephemeral, underground world of “Great Berlin” as depicted in The Blue Angel that Marion Rampal and the Quatuor Manfred invite us to rediscover here, in collaboration with saxophonist Raphaël Imbert: a liberal burst of freedom and humanity delivered with passion! © harmonia mundi

Mozart - Clarinet Concerto K. 622 - Quintettsatz KV Anhang 1 - Clarinet Quintet K. 581
Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra, Gustavo Gimeno
Julien Hervé, clarinet
Qobuz 24/48
Wonderful interpretations of some of the most wonderful clarinet pieces ever written.
After "Waiting for Clara", which focused on the music of Brahms and Schumann, this second album on NoMadMusic from the clarinetist Julien Hervé looks back another few years, to the apex of Classical style, with Mozart’s Quintet and Concerto. After discovering the instrument later in his life, Mozart fell entirely in love with it and dedicated these sublime pieces to it. This hedonistic, luminous programme, recorded live, offers us the opportunity to discover - or rediscover - two of the greatest masterpieces in the clarinet repertoire. © NoMadmusic

Schubert - Symphony no. 9 ('Great') & Five German Dances
Budapest Festival Orchestra, Iván Fischer
This is one of my favourite symphonies in classical music.
Fischer delivers another fine performance here.
It might not be the best version that exists, but I don't own any better one, and the sound is really good too.
Wonderful!
I sometimes wonder what would have happened if Schubert had lived a bit longer...
We have our tickets for the Budapesters later this year in Brugge! :celebrate008_2:
Schubert - String Quintet D.956 and Quartettstaz D.703
Tokyo String Quartet
David Watkin, cello
We saw them live yesterday. Fabulous! Haydn and Bartók.
This album is also very good. And well recorded.
Arguably the best chamber music piece ever written.
(And probably the best performance and recording too?)
Moving, touching, heartwarming.
If you realise this was written just before he died, it is even more stunning...
