What are you listening to right now? (VOL I)
Posted by: Tam on 06 June 2005
Anyway, to kick things off, I'm currently, and probably for most of the rest of this week, listening to Radio 3's Beethoven Experience. They're doing one of the piano concertos at the moment and (number 2 with Glenn Gould). Anyway, the experience thing probably needs its own thread, but, even on this cheapo radio it's proving fairly enjoyable.
So, what are you listening to right now?

Transcriptions from the originals for solo cello. She has also an excellent disc of Telemann's works on the same label.

Yes, and she has another just as excellent Harmonia Mundi CD with Bachs three other cello suites in her own arrangement.
pe-Zulu,
I enjoy her also on Vivaldi's Recorder Concertos.

A good match between music and image.

Figaro, live from the Royal Opera House on Radio 3, rather disappointingly sung, so far and an intrusive amount of banging from the stage

Earwicker,
It is good to have a match between the music and the image. It means that someone listened to the music, gave it a thought, made a choice and selected some visual representation of the content of the disc.
Listening to the quartet and the piano you really get the feeling that you are being moved gentley from one musical space to another with a very slight variation, not unlike your eyes wandering from one geometric shape to another.

Beethoven Emperor Concerto. Edwin Fischer/ Philharmonia/ Furtwangler. This old HMV recoding is still my favourite. Now out again in the Great Recording of the 20th Century serieson EMI.
In this latest incernation, it hardly sound a decade old let alone done in the early fifties. But the spell is in the music making. Furtwangler was a genius accompanist, and Fischer and he were great friends as well as collaberators here. Those who know will not be surprised by the quality of the very young Philharmonia's playing, which deftly matches Fischer's reading with subtlety, and sensitivity. They were on very good terms with Furtwangler, who was once asked by the record producer at a session, if he could instruct the first trumpet to play down a bit, as it was too firm in the balance. Furtwangler told the him {W Legge, whom Furtwangler intensely disliked), that he could not possibly suggest that the player modify his playing as 'he is an angel!' Given his authority and reputation as a musician how could any band fail to be impressed by such un-self-conscoius humility!
Fischer is really my favourite pianist, so I find it quite hard to be objective about his playing! It is Bloody Marvelous!
All the best from Fredrik

Mozart Concerto in B Flat KV 595. Haskill/ Klemperer/ Kolner Guerzenich Orchestra live in 1956. So splendid I am going to turn the lights out and listen again, from the comfort of the hay! The performance mentioned in Pianoforte thread earlier...
