What Are You Listening To (Classical Version)?

[Richard Cribb]

Another fine work of Schubert; his Octet.

[Kullervo]

There's no such thing as too much Norwegian music.

Famous remark! I might say the same in regard to Danish music...

[Richard Cribb]

A splendid version of a splendid work.

[Kullervo]

I am currently going through one of those phases where all I want to listen to is tragedy. Shostakovich is a perfect outlet for this, so I started with the 14th symphony, and worked my way through recommendations from there. At the moment, this is going through my headphones:

[Richard Cribb]

A most satisfying transcription for organ of the symphony which is my absolute favorite musical work:

Remembering the anniversary of the death of Beethoven, an aria from his funeral cantata on the death of Emperor Joseph II.

[Kullervo]

Continuing my personal tragedy streak, the most depressing piece of music I know: Shostakovich's 14th symphony.

[ReindeerThistle]

I am listening to Orff's Carmina Burana on my cd player, Andre Previn conducting. However, my roommate Just got back from a cello recital: Bach's "Canon alla Duodecima in Contrapunto all Quinta" and "Canon per Augmentationem in Contrario Motu" plus Debussey's "Sonate pour Violincelle at Piano," and a few others. It was Joel Krosnick and his daughter, Gwen, and some other. The recital was over 2 hours and I'm wicked jealous!

 

[Richard Cribb]

I know about Krosnick as a member of the Juilliard String Quartet, a very fine group. Unfortunately I live in a place where there are not so many interesting live concerts, so I am mostly left to "canned" music, which by being fine in its own right doesn't really match up to the real thing.
Since it is Easter, I suppose it makes sense to post something related. So here is Penderecki's St.Luke's Passion, a work which at least for me is most rewarding.

Simply beautiful and a great song to sing.

Continuing music related to easter with a real gem from the Baroque era which may be too little known, Reinhard Keiser's version of Brockes Passion

[Kullervo]

The full William Tell Overture. Of course the most famous part is the finale, but I consider all four sections of this piece to be worthy of listening to, particularly the haunting introduction.

Arnold Schönberg's Piano Concerto

[Richard Cribb]

If I am not mistaken, that good man Kullervo has already posted Magnard's 4th symphony here. I think no. 3 deserves to be presented as well.
