I don't see the Rachmaninov 1st or 4th piano concertos in the PDF or the RSS. Lots to discuss about either, including multiple revisions of the scores, at least some of which have been recorded in their earlier editions. We have the composer's own recordings for comparison, and modern cycles from Stephen Hough, Daniil Trifonov, Yuja Wang and Leif Ove Andsnes, etc. that can't have been covered before even if the works have been.Last edited by Retune; 26-10-24, 17:52.Comment

Wow. Well, there have been a few new issues since…Originally posted by Retune View Post
How about the Etudes of Ligetti?

Back in 2003, Ivan Hewett picked Toros Can (Books 1-2) and Pierre-Laurent Aimard (Books 1-3) as joint first choice. I don't know Can and I think his version may be out of print, but Aimard would surely still be one of the favourites today. But looking on Presto there have been quite a few recordings since then - time to revisit? Rather shockingly, that seems to be the only Ligeti they've done in 25 years, except for a survey of his works in 2018 (podcast here).Originally posted by richardfinegold View PostComment

Not for the first time, I'd suggest the Ysaye solo sonatas which are recorded so often nowadays that they may be considered mainstream although I expect the recent Hilary Hahn may well be a foregone conclusion.Comment

How about Tchaikosky’s The Seasons?
Bruckner 4?Comment

In 2010, David Fanning's recommended version of the Tchaikowsky was Pletnev on a Virgin Classics double CD which also included Pictures From An Exhibition.Originally posted by Alison View Post
In 2014, Stephen Johnson's recommended recording of Bruckner's 4th was the Berlin Philharmonic/Wand on RCA Victor Red Seal. .Last edited by LMcD; 28-10-24, 17:33.Comment

Schumann's Märchenerzählungen -- masterpiece
Beethoven's eyeglass duo and ghost trio -- nice fun music, not too barnstorming.
Schubert/Liszt transcriptions. First class music, lots of recordings.
Schubert's Nachtelle -- masterpiece
All the fun Mozart which often falls below the radar:

How about a survey of the music of Bo Holten? (Who must be a candidate for Composer of the Week).Comment

We're certainly not going to run short of suggestions for next year's Summer BaLs, given the contributions already in this thread.
Can I remind forumites of our Recordings in Discussion option
which might be a good place to set a hare running if you have a particular favourite of one of the pieces mentioned and you want to see what others think and you can't wait until next summer (not least now that the clocks have changed). That sub-forum might also be ideal, say, for the Bo Holton suggestion.Comment

Schubert/Liszt is a cornucopia, but quite hard to narrow down for a BAL?
The opera fantasies might work.Comment

Listening just now to Boult’s recording of The Hymn of Jesus, which has prompted me to post re the most shameful admission from this year’s Building a Library, namely an episode to honour the Holst 150th anniversary.Last edited by Wolfram; 11-12-24, 16:13.Comment

I see they have just announced the Planets for mid January. That certainly leaves me with egg on my face.Originally posted by Wolfram View PostComment
