What Classical Music Are You listening to Now? III

[Joseph K]

Liszt - Years of Pilgrimage book 2 - Lazar Berman

[PHS]

'Paris'. The latest album from the wonderful Hilary Hahn.

Chausson. 'Poéme'.

Prokofiev. Violin Concerto No.1

Rautavaara. Deux Sérénades.

Philharmonic Orchestra of Radio France conducted by Mikko Franck.

[HighlandDougie]

Panufnik: Sinfonia Sacra/Sinfonia Rustica

Monte Carlo Opera Orchestra/Composer

Continuing my trawl through long-forgotten LPs, this chimed with Jayne's recent posts. Perhaps not the greatest orchestral playing (certainly by comparison with the excellent Störgards Panufnik CD on Ondine), but fine recording for its day (mid 60s) - and, unsurprisingly, fine performances of these approachable and well-wrought works.

Quite beautiful I think. I remember its premiere at the Proms very well! When it comes to his orchestral music though, my favourite is Sea and Sky (1979-80), a kind of La Mer for our times... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kIT6BlSgXWE

Too bad the Grimwood appears to be completely unavailable.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. I'll line it up for listening later.

Finnissy - Sea & Sky (see above for link)

Thoroughly enjoyed this. I like the long sustained lines, the music seems to unravel itself in long sentences quite naturally (this applies to Red Earth too) and everything is fresh and often sensuous.
