Album of the Evening

[jiminlogansquare]

A two-fer this evening, if that's OK.

First is a fun recording I hadn't given a listen to in years and years! The cover art here really does a great job illustrating the sound inside. 

 

Roon suggested it while I was listening to something completely different:
 

 

Second album, a recent release from Cleveland with the same conductor, which includes an organ concerto, "Okeanos." This is a good listen for those who find the world needs more organ concertos (and why not?).This one gets really loud at the end, which is what I want from an organ concerto. The Prokofiev 3 is pretty good, too.

I was checking this out on Qobuz, and saw it had 6 Beethoven piano concertos. Wait, what? There’s a 6th?!

 

 

Turns out Op. 61a is a piano transcription of the violin concerto, and it’s lovely!

Speaking of Beethovens violin concerto - here's a wild and innovative version that I listened to the other night!

Sorry about my bad quoting above... I need to practise my inserting skills ;-)

There's another "6th" one. the Chorfantasie op 80, which isn't very well known.

Bon Iver - For Emma, Forever Ago.

 

'Blindsided' for the melancholy, and 'Re:Stacks' - ''l'll keep throwing down 200 at a time'' for the ah-f**k-it!

 

The Album Leaf - In A Safe Place.

 

Just very nice electronic music that'll help see in the early hours.

Streaming from Qobuz. I really liked the first book, I'll probably have to buy this as well.

I can recommend the book 'Zen and the Art of Inserting'

Listening to it now. Really excellent! I’m a big fan of the Naïve label.

 

 

EDIT: Just finished listening. WOW. You weren’t kidding. This is indeed a fresh and uninhibited rendition. Loved it!

Here’s a really excellent recording and performance of the Choral Fantasy, Opus 80.

She is an exciting performer with intriguing performance ideas. This recording of Schubert is a great further introduction:

I like this one as well. The Saint Paul (MN) Chamber Orchestra won a grammy for this too, for whatever that's worth.

Pleasant music for a beautiful summer evening.

I'm not only a fan of Rachel Podger, I'm also a fan of the instrument she plays, just love the sound of her violin. Vivaldi again (SACD).

Will I ever get bored with WTC.?  I don't think so.. I also don't think there are many who perform this piece better.. (16-44)

[Teresa]

Ole Bull's works for Violin and Orchestra: Sæterjentens Søndag (The Herdgirl's Sunday), Concerto In A Major, Concerto Fantastico, I Ensomme Stunde (Melancolie), La Verbena de San Juan, Et Sæterbesøg (A Mountain Vision)

 

Very melodic and quite beautiful music IMHO.
