New releases

[gurnemanz]

Bezuidenhout looks rather tempting. I seem to have only one fortepiano Mozart concerto disc - Melvyn Tan/Roger Norrington in K488 and K466 with London Classic Players, which I've had for ages. It's an excellent coupling, both performances being favourite recordings of those works.

I already have about three period versions of the Mozart piano concertos, Jayne, but my ears are always open! I guess this new cycle is proving special for you?

It's quite a while since the first one so it may not become a cycle (Mozart 2056, anyone?) - http://www.qobuz.com/gb-en/album/wol.../3149020214725 - but I really do love that having bought it on CD... Haven't heard this latest yet (excerpts very promising), obsessed with early Bruckner again......

At last a new disc from Bengamin Grosvenor. Should be well worth acquiring.

One's fear that the issue of live recordings of Klaus Tennstedt and the LPO might have dried up has been confounded with this up-coming release:

I wasn't at this one, alas, but I did meet Rene Kollo in Berlin after a performance of Siegfried at the Deutsche Oper the previous year.

What other Tennstedt goodies have yet to see the light of day, I wonder?

Shame we don't hear so much from Laurie Watt these days.

I'd be interested to hear anything KT performed with the LSO pre the Philharmonic era.

Very fine it is, too. The download version (from Qobuz, Presto etc) contains a substantial bonus in the form of Ravel's "Le Tombeau de Couperin". Lovely recording (Wyastone) and piano tone.

I'm looking forward to the new discs of The Bach solo violin sonatas and partitas from Kyung-Wha Chung that's released next month. I find listening to these works fascinating as each player can be so truthful but so different.

I'm awaiting to hear that Zukerman, Anne-Sophie Mutter and Nigel Kennedy have recorded them before they get too old. (Although, sadly, I fear that the ship may have sailed for Pinky)

Pinky is playing with the RPO in their gala concert this weekend - Bruch 1 I think . Remember Ida H recorded them in 1996 . Jolly good that recording is too .

Anybody seen/heard the original version of Bruckner 8 conducted by Fabio Luisi?

Read about it in Smiths (HiFi news)

got me all excited there, Alison, I thought it might have been a recording of the LSO performance from the night England lost to Uruguay in the world cup, which I attended. ( the Bruckner not the footy).
but then I remembered there weren't any microphones in evidence.

not heard the CD.
Couldn't wait to get your copy of Hifi News home eh?

Not the LSO, but Philharmonia Zurich, ts:

I might very well invest in this - the Inbal and Tintner recordings I own don't quite "get it": excellent moments in both, but neither quite adding up. The reviews of the Luisi suggest that his is the one I've been hoping for. Thanks, Alison

Thanks Ferney, I did check, and forgot to post a link.

too busy doing the footy results...

A happy musical memory, TS. Much more preferable to watching another England World Cup defeat.
