I see I have 8 recordings of the Berg but not Bryn's Suk/Ancerl. Something I will need to remedy!
All the best,

It really is a magnificent set. Of recent recordings, Faust/Melnikov and Ibragimova/Tiberghien are very impressive (F/M ahead, in my opinion), but it will be the Suk that I'll return to more often.

Faust's adaptation of the cadenza in the first movement of the Beethoven is a triumph by the way. I do not have the Suk but it will have to go some to match Faust in the Berg.
As for the Beethoven sonatas - Menuhin/Kempff are marvellous .Last edited by Barbirollians; 27-03-12, 23:28.

Just to reiterate a post on the what are you listening to thread, one of the best new releases for me this year is
Kalevi Aho Chamber Symphonies 1-3 / Tapiola Sinfonietta/Kantorow/Asbury (BIS 24/44.1 download).
As fine a recording of a string orchestra as I've heard, seamlessly smooth, transparent, powerful and natural. Gorgeous alto sax in no.3 (John-Edward Kelly). It's challenging music but I've become especially fond of nos. 2 and 3 over several hearings, music of great intensity, very atmospheric in its contrast of hectic activity and profound stillness. Aho is a true nature poet, the sounds and forces of wild creatures and wild places are always close.
Not a new release, but a related discovery for me was:
Kalevi Aho Tuba and ContraBassoon Concertos - Bergen PO/Litton, Norrkoping SO/Rondin, Lipnick, Baadsvik (soloists).
(BIS 24/44.1)
Right between the eyes, the roar and crackle of the tuba, in the context of a substantial, powerfully dramatic concerto, is a rare and slightly scary pleasure! (Remember Birtwistle's Earth Dances?). But both pieces are weighty and long enough to be serious symphonic statements. Highly recommended!
