Haydn 2032 Vol.7. Symphonies 67, 65 etc. Basle KO/Antonini. Alpha 24/88.2. New Release on Qobuz Studio.
Still in medias res here, but I already think it’s one of the best in the series, with stunningly high-resolution 88.2khz sound reaching far, far back into a very sympathetic acoustic to bring out the tiniest details. Wonderfully alert, pert and expressive, with some great horn-playing. More space and body to the sound than on some earlier releases.
Looking forward to the c/w, Mozart Thamos Suite...
(photos in the booklet even more beautifully quirky and oblique than ever...
)

Now playing: Luigi Nono, Prometeo a new double CD on Stradivarius, the third recording to be released so far if I'm not mistaken, and if I'm recalling the others accurately enough, not having heard either for a while, this one is the clearest and most spatially vivid version, free of the incidental noises which threaten to overcome the music in the first (EMI) recording. I would go so far as to say that the music is now making sense to me for the first time (even bearing in mind the live performance at the RFH about ten years ago).Comment

Duly ordered. It had better live up to the impression you give of it.Originally posted by Richard Barrett View Post
[In the meantime, I have downloaded the booklet from QOBUZ. Along with the Klaus Pauler's Listening Score from the col legno SACDs, that should help me 'get my head round it'.]Comment

Cheers Nethersage, I fancy this discOriginally posted by Bryn View PostRe. Sarah Walker on the (fairly) new Fidelio Trio recording of trios by Fauré, Chausson and Satie (arr. White). Naughty Sarah. She should really have declared an interest. She does, after all, play in a piano duo with John White (WW!!, by name). That said, White's love for Satie's music is long established. I cannot recommend too strongly his own recordings of a selction of Satie pieces:

Just had through the new release information from Australian Eloquence. The forthcoming releases include An interesting Nielsen CD - I must admit I’d forgotten about their existence - Sym 3 LSO Huybrechts and Sym 5 SRO Kletzki, both late 60s/early 70s.Comment

A superb new recording of "Les Indes Galantes" from the Hungarian forces that brought us other Rameau gems on Glossa:
You can hear extracts from it on France Musique:

Very nice no doubt. It hasn't appeared on Qobuz's new releases today, but I guess it will next week or some time soon. Something that did turn up though was an opera by Johann David Heinichen called Flavio Crispo (thanks for asking, mine's a salt and vinegar please) which I thought I'd give a few minutes to, having enjoyed for many years the compilation of his instrumental ensemble music performed by Musica Antiqua Köln (some bits of which appear here also) and released in 1993. Now about an hour in; really excellent, and very well performed too.Comment

The sea salt and black pepper opera is on YouTube - search for Flavio Crispo, and jpc.de have it on sale for a tad under 30 euros for 3 CDs. I’ve not looked for other versions, or in other sites.

Is there no truly HIIP version, I.e. plain with salt in blue wax-paper wrap?Comment

That would be because this recording derives from the first ever complete performance in 2015! I don't expect it's the sort of thing people are going to be queueing up to perform; I haven't even bothered to look up what happens in the no doubt rather silly and stereotyped libretto, but especially its colourful scoring marks it out as not just another baroque opera.Originally posted by Dave2002 View PostComment
