I imagine the Debussy and Ravel are good!Last edited by Stanfordian; 29-05-20, 13:51.

Back in the time machine for Harnoncourt, epic & tragic & lyric & ....
Sibelius Symphony No.6

Stephen Oliver's music for "The Lord of the Rings":
Oddly enough, it was the Cyrillus Kreek "Whilst great is our poverty" on Record Review (fabulous piece) which reminded me irresistibly (and no doubt coincidentally) of the Aragorn section of the LoTW music ("Seek for the sword that was broken" - starts at 16:05 on the youtube link.)
"The Road goes ever on" and the idea of an apparently hopeless fight against an apparently invincible enemy seems particularly apt at the moment ...
Stephen Oliver taught at Huddersfield School of Music - unfortunately I missed him by a year (I arrived in 1976). I heard from ex-students that he used to hum the tunes of things that he was working on. Tragically, he died of AIDS in 1992 - possibly caught from nursing a friend who was dying from it. His marvellous music for LoTW is infinitely better than Howard Shore's scores.
(BTW the singer in "Sam's song" is Oz Clarke)Last edited by peterthekeys; 30-05-20, 12:06.

Sibelius
Symphony No.4.
COE/Berglund. Finlandia CD.
Great and radical 4th, personal favourite...excellent sound. Kept away from 4 for a long time, really need it now....
Beethoven
Symphony No.1
Piano Concerto No.3
Wallisch/OWA/Haselböck. CPO CD.
Terrific performances. Physically, sonorously, Fiery finale to the 3rd!
Had fun here converting to DSD... useful extra warmth and body, especially in those lovely lower Graf registers, at the expense of a little space, but there's plenty to go around....! Best of all... my appetite for LvB is still keen....Last edited by jayne lee wilson; 30-05-20, 16:42.
