Anton Bruckner: Symphony No. 7 in E major
Giuseppe Sinopoli: Staatskapelle Dresden (1991)

This sounds completely different from the Jochum recording with the same orchestra made in 1976. Part of it, I think, is that Deutsche Grammophon's engineering is more neutral than EMI's was for Jochum. I like Sinopoli's way of conducting Bruckner, but I could understand how someone who likes Karajan or Celibidache would not be fond of it. Clear, transparent, and on the brisk side overall, but still beautiful.

Xiaogang Ye ▪ Lamura Cuofor Op. 69b
Dan Zhu, violin ▪ Deutsche Staatsphilharmonie Rheinland-Pfalz ▪ Franck Ollu
Rec. 2014 ▪ Naxos

Amazing long melody that depicts the sacredness and mysteriousness of Lake Lamura Cuofor in Tibet. Fantastic music.

I purchased this on vinyl long ago and then later as a CD. I left the vinyl by the kerb to be collected and taken to the dump. I ripped the CD. I am unsure if I still retain the CD.

 

[Becca]

Do by all means check out Bernstein's earlier recordings (CBS/Sony) of these symphonies. They're even better

Definitely!

[Philidor]

Good morning. - Today's Sunday's name is "Laetare", it is sometimes called "little easter" as it is referring to subjects beyond easter. - There is no known cantata from Bach for this Sunday. In Leipzig, lent was tempus clausum without figural music, in Weimar, he had to deliver just one cantata per month, and he wasn't long enough there to cover each Sunday.

However, there is a motet from Bach on the main choral (understood as congregational singing) of this Sunday.

Johann Sebastian Bach: "Jesu, meine Freude" BWV 227

Bach Collegium Japan
Masaaki Suzuki

This was my first CD with Masaaki Suzuki. I was thus excited that I bought all cantata CDs with Suzuki. (There were lost-cost boxes at that time.) I still think that these recordings are exceptionally good, even on the background of excellent small professional HIP ensembles from England, Netherlands and Belgium.

If there was a Philidorometer (greetings to Art Rock!), it would have 10/10. Desert island disc.

 

[janwillemvanaalst]

Domenico Scarlatti (1685-1757): Stabat Mater pour dix voix et basse continue (1715), as recorded in 2007 by Vox Luminis, conducted by Lionel Meunier.

Domenico Scarlatti is mostly remembered for his 555 keyboard sonatas, but he did write in other genres as well, including operas and choral works such as this Stabat Mater. I feel it's an appealing work, well-performed on this CD, with fine sound quality.

 

[Knorf]

...how someone who likes Karajan or Celibidache would not be fond of it.

It seems like you've been frequently linking the Bruckner recordings by Karajan and Celibidache as somehow similar? But they're not. They are worlds apart, both in concept and execution.

Anyone, what a sad state to be in, if liking one approach to anything precludes one from appreciating something different!
