    Firstly, the music of Arnold Bax has been a kind of "re"-discovery for me lately. I have owned the Naxos recording of his Symphony #7 & the tone poem Tintagel for about two years, but in recently getting back to it, I have begun to appreciate this guy's music at a whole new level. I've also gotten into some of his music for the coronation of 1953, as well as similar works by Walton & Bliss. Walton's Facade, an "entertainment" with narration, is also on the same Eloquence disc, & owning it for the first time has been a joy!



    But to talk more to the topic of this thread, I have "discovered" most of the songs on this compilation of historic recordings of Kurt Weill's songs (as well as some of his orchestral music on Naxos under Marin Alsop). He was definitely one of the most versatile & adaptable composers of his time, esp. in his varied works for the stage produced in Weimar Germany to Broadway in the USA & beyond -

    Another recent "discovery" has been the music of Leonard Bernstein -

    I've just been listening to Schumann's Davidsbündlertänze, I love them.
