Very good recording!  

 

Also a god sample how a violin should be recorded.

 

I found it chez Qobuz with a very different album art:

 

 

Thanks,

[Klavier]

A new composer to me and I like him a lot! Obviously modern, but not completely sado-modernistic.  His style is hard to describe--mixes gorgeous melodies with explosive clusters. This entire recording is available on YouTube for those of you who are curious.

(Don't let the "with tape" aspect of the first piece scare you--it lasts only 2-3 minutes near the end and imparts a literally other worldly effect.)

You're welcome. Actually both images are on the physical CD. Yours is the cover of the booklet while mine is on the paper slipcase. Also try the following for excellent recording of violin with piano accompaniment:

 

Homage James Ehnes

 

 

Played on instruments from the David Fulton collection. The package contains CD and DVD so you can also see exactly how it's done. Highly recommended. Now album of the evening:

 

Antonio Bazzini - Vol. 1

Luigi Alberto Bianchi, Aldo Orvieto

"Homage" ordered !

 

Extraordinary Violins, Violas and Violoncelli collection, Mr. Fulton !

 

Thanks again,

I listened to about the first 20 minutes of the title song, saved the other worldly section.  It was listenable and mirrored your bolded reflection.  Plan to give this a more critical listen, thank you.

Ah Dynamic, have never quite managed to put a finger on what inert quality in their recordings makes them appealing to me.  With that fresh in mind, my favorite Bottesini.  Which normally only comes out on deep Winter nights.

 

[Klavier]

Very spirited playing captured in crystal clear sound. (I opted for a $24 hi-res download rather than a $169 2-disc CD!)

Where did you got the hi-res download?  I can not find it anywhere !

I'm interested as well. I like Pandolfo and discovered links to some interesting video interviews with the artist on the Glossa site.

 

http://Paolo Pandolfo on his music

 

He appears on this SACD as well. Tonight's listen...

 

Ortiz: Recercadas del Tratado de Glosas

Jordi Savall, Ton Koopman,  Lorenz Duftschmi,

Great !  I own some of his recordings.  Like very much his Carl Friedrich Abel and Machy's albums.

I don't have the De Machy but enjoy the Abel as well as these works.

The release offered by Klavier above is on the way.

I find when my listening trends towards Paolo Pandolfo that Cafe Zimmermann fits the mood as well.

 

    

 

My second submission of today formed out of enjoyably witnessing a reviewer try throwing a haymaker at a conductor for mounting a haymaker instead of the podium.  An idea that increasingly took me as quite hilarious as his complaint directed towards the interpretation focusing solely on the perspective of a machine operator oblivious to all but his preternatural sense for precise operation of all the parts within his control.   Rather than catering to an audience expecting a raucous symphony of whirring knife edged blades and tines leaving an air born maelstrom in it's wake too exciting to ignore.  Little does anyone else suspect through their complacency the horrors that would erupt if it touched on rock or metal.  

 

Found myself drawn towards spending a few hours slowing down and listening to a year play out in the countryside.

Thanks for this, I have heard of them but confess to know little more. They sound like my kind of artists. A new repertoire to enjoy...

One more of equally high quality off the same label with Bruno Cocset playing cello.  Volume II of Barrière and his Boccherini are worthy of mention as well.
