I saw Trifonov in Dresden with the Concertgebouw back in May and he was terrific playing the Prokofiev Third Concerto.

Ligeti: Lontano for Large Orchestra
(i) Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra/Jonathan Nott; (ii) Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra/George Benjamin; (iii) SWR Symphony Orchestra/Ernest Bour; (iv) Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra/Hannu Lintu; (v) Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra/François-Xavier Roth
Intrigued by the differences in timing between, say, Nott and Lintu (almost 4 minutes slower then Nott in a work which usually lasts for about 12 minutes), a mini-BaL of the versions I have to hand of a work which has very much got under my skin. They all work - Roth gets my vote but that's today - Lintu might be what I want to hear tomorrow. We are fortunate to be able to have the luxury of so much choice (never heard Günter Wand but I am intrigued).
Followed by:
Maderna: Aura
NDR Symphony Orchestra/Giuseppe Sinopoli
Simply, a great work - in an excellent performanceLast edited by HighlandDougie; 04-12-18, 19:26.

I'm sorry I never got around to elaborating a recent post on Maderna, the demands of The Real Life currently somewhat overwhelming (paperwork and hard copy at that...), listening at a premium (and a minimum...) but HD, have you heard the NEOS Maderna series? All wonderful & gorgeously recorded, my top choices the Quadrivium, Grande Aulodia and the Violin Concerto...(and a more intense, more polished and better recorded Aura too...)..
The visionary effect of the closing minutes of Quadrivium is marvellous - unlike anything else I know, with a wonderful sense of arrival; as in its own way is the double-concerto-style Aulodia....
TBH once I'd got to know the other late masterpieces ( & I really believe they are just that) I began to find Aura a shade too strict in its more obviously multi-sectional structure. For me Maderna's at his best when he's more flowing and improvised in feel, singing through solo winds, or asking the percussionists to let rip (aleatorically or written-out...)...but preferably both across the same work...!Last edited by jayne lee wilson; 04-12-18, 22:25.
