Whatever floats your boat
Really enjoyed this recording by the Petersen Quartet of Erwin Shulhoff's String Quartets No. 1 and 2. I think anyone who likes modern classical with touches of neoclassical, jazz and Czech influences would enjoy this album. It's quite enjoyable. The quartets are also available on a Naxos recording. I have not yet listened to the Naxos to compare what is the better performance but I probably will.

Ralph Vaughan Williams--Symphony No.5 in D and Symphony No.9 in E Minor, both performed by the London Philharmonic Orchestra under the baton of Sir Adrian Boult.

Your closing key is not the same,
This gives the Masters pain;
But Hans Sachs draws a rule from this:
In Spring, it must be so! 'Tis plain!
"In Spring! In the creation of art it must be as it is in Spring!" -Arnold Schoenberg
"I think that all right-thinking people in this country are sick and tired of being told that ordinary, decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not! But I’m sick and tired of being told that I am!" - Monty Python

I'm glad this has finally been re-released. It was a 2-LP on Columbia, released in 1980. Ruggles' music is very powerful, almost scary. I first heard his music on an old VOX LP in about 1970. I remember it had "Men and Mountains," "Angels," and "Lilacs." This new CD release is very good.

Listened to Hans Rott's Symphony in E Major and now listening to Richard Wetz Symphony No. 1. Both of these symphonies are really nice works. Too bad Rott wrote only one. Wetz wrote three and anyone who enjoys Bruckner would likely enjoy his symphonies. Off to bed soon so this will end my listening for tonight. Sometimes I wish there were more hours in a day! Especially when I am really enjoying listening.

Listening to this amazing disc. CPE Bach is highly underrated.

A Song For Francesca: Music In Italy 1330-1430 - Gothic Voices
Some of Vivaldi's best work imo. Sounds a little like CPE Bach imo after hearing them back to back but still has some of those Vivaldi characteristics. Just more moody.
