Bartok's 2nd quartet for me last night - the Alban Berg Quartet recording.

Incidentally, on the subject of Schubert's D960, where do MBers stand on the first movement exposition repeat? My own view is that as Schubert took the trouble to write an extra 9 bars of music to accommodate it, it should be played. It sounds right to my ears.

If I’m on the decks I normally play that Ceefax tqpe I recorded in 1989, you know the one.
Otherwise I’m on the keyboard composing one of my wonderous pieces!

Seeing the posts here on Schubert's D960, I wonder whether the work might be a suitable topic for our own BAL thread - especially as there are such varied readings of the piece.
(I must admit that it is a work that is very close to my heart.)Comment

Sibelius - Pelléas et Mélisande (Beecham)Comment

Yes, John I like the idea of our own BaL.
Nobody seems to dislike D960.
Perhaps you should start a thread !Comment

OK, will do!Comment

Its a first outing for the RLPO/Petrenko Shostakovich 9 tonight.Comment
-
This evening, Tchaikovsky 5 - LSO/ Rozhdestvensky - superb performance.
Followed by some late night Vivaldi - the mandolin and lute concertos from L'Arte dell'Arco on Brilliant Classics (a new recording, not a reissue from another label).Our chief weapon is surprise...surprise and fear...fear and surprise.... Our two weapons are fear and surprise...and ruthless efficiency....Comment

Inspired by CD review's playing excerpts of Petrenko's Shostakovich cycle, the following works of Dimi:
Symphony No 1 Philadelphia; Ormandy
Symphony No 5 Leningrad Phil; Mravinsky (live).
I hasten to add this was last night's listening.

Schoenberg - Verklärte Nacht (original sextet version)Our chief weapon is surprise...surprise and fear...fear and surprise.... Our two weapons are fear and surprise...and ruthless efficiency....Comment

Which recording did you listen to? As of yet i dont have a recording of the sextet version, i have the Leipziger Quartet in the Quartet in D maj and the op 7 quartet which i love.
My last night's listening was the Villa-Lobos Missa Sao Sebastiao a very beautiful and haunting choral work.Comment

It was a recording by the Philip Glass Chamber Players.
I also have the Leipziger Qt recording on MDG, which I'd thoroughly recommend:
