Now listening to/watching, Bruckner 6 (Münchner Philharmoniker, Celi) on from DVD.

Currently listening to some Monteux recordings. All from the big 14CD RCA box from the 1990s
R-K: Antar with the SFSO from 1946
Debussy:La Mer BSO from 1954 - beautifully clear recording and lovely performance
Debussy:Images SFSO from 1951
Will go on to Nocturnes from 1955 whic is in stereo but strangely not in the complete RCA stereo recordings which I recently bought to fill some gaps but with some inevitable duplications. I’ve got to say that if I were listing my top conductors Pierre would be right up there!
Nocturnes also excellent!Last edited by cloughie; 03-02-19, 21:38.

CPE Bach
Symphonies Wq 183 1-4.
Kammerorchester "CPE Bach"/Hartmut Haenchen. Phoenix CDs.
and...
Solamente Naturali/Miloš Valent/Didier Talpain. Brilliant Classics. Qobuz Studio.
Despite the modern instruments, I've always warmed to HH and his band. They serve CPE devotedly well.
But delighted to discover the Bratislavan Naturali (searching around tonight...!) as there aren't many complete Wq 183s on period instruments, and I find Manze and Leonhard dull, stiff and uninspiring.
The Solamente really bring out the warmth and the fun of this wonderful music (which I often begin, and end, my day with).
And I just found a 2ndhand CD for under a fiver delivered!
Nielsen Symphony No.5. Odense SO/Serov. KONTRAPUNKT CD.
Remarkable, unusual 5th, way off-the-beaten, but showing in its bigboned fullness, subtlety and warmth, how much more to this music there is than the usually played-out extremes. (Not that drums or brass hold back - anything but!!) More on the Nielsen thread soon I hope.Last edited by jayne lee wilson; 03-02-19, 21:25.
