Originally posted by Mahlerei View PostQuite a list, Bryn. I'd be interested to know your opinion of the Gerhard/Maso; I'm a great admirer of Maso's Mompou cycle.

As mentioned on another thread I'm awaiting with keen anticipation a release on the LPO label of Bernard Haitink conducting Ravel's Daphnis and Chloe in a 1979 performance at which I was present. I vividly recall the concert and it should prove a moving evening hearing it again after 33 years. Released on Feb 27."The sound is the handwriting of the conductor" - Bernard Haitink

Mahlerei
Originally posted by Bryn View PostThe delivery was made today. I listened to most of the Gerhard in the car during the drive back home. The survey is organised chronologically and I have only heard the pre-WWII works, the post-war dances arranged for piano form his Ballet Don Quixote, and the beginning of the first of his Three Impromtus of 1950. All very pleasant and sounded well played. Lost of influence from Satie, Ravel, early Stravinsky et al in what I heard, but none the worse for that. I'd recommend getting it if you can. The 'fill-up' is the 2nd piano sonata of Joaquim Homs, who studied with Gerhard. I have not listened to that yet.

Apparently his last concert was due to be Beethoven's Choral Symphony but he was indisposed
and replaced by Sir John Pritchard. That must have been a bit of a let down.
