Your post has just reminded me that I have this.....one of the earlier CD's I bought and remember how good it is ( I went through a big Poulenc 'phase')....now where the hell is it?

As with Weston ( see above) I encounter the 'doldrums' this morning, wistfully recalling visits to Finland (particualrly with my son) years ago and like Knorf ( see above in his reference to Shosty's 4th) I concluded that I need to 'blast' my lugs.....
Sibelius-Karelia Suite, the Gibson one!
Fixed!.......at the earliest opportunity I am going to Helsinki, if I survive staring at this bloody screen and attempting to teach real human beings.

After yesterday morning's maudlin post I approach the day with greater optimism ( for a number of reasons) yet I find myself again starting the day with Sibelius and the Karelia Suite ( Gibson)

What a great cover!....Was fortunate enough to see the original on a visit to Vienna. Also managed to get a ticket for the VPO ( Bruckner 6 and Mozart 26) conducted by the apparently much maligned Welser-Most.Alban Berg: Sieben frühe Lieder, Der Wein, Drei Orchesterstücke
Anne Sophie von Otter
Wiener Philharmoniker, Claudio Abbado
How I adore these gorgeous recordings! Sumptuous, enchanting listening.

It is Schiele.....I was so overawed by the very fact of being at a VPO concert that I did not think to focus on Welser Most.....just enjoyed the music and the occasion (the concert was actually preceded by a reception in honour of Abbado who had just passed away and nobody thought to chuck me out so I ended up with a small brochure and a free drink!)

While I might share certain reservations that many have expressed regarding Hurwitz I really enjoy much of what he has to say about various aspects of Dvorak's music.......particularly his enthusiastic advocacy of the earlier symphonies (primarily because he agrees with me!)
With the 5th I would naturally turn to Jansons and the Oslo PO am now thoroughly enjoying Suitner and the Staatskapelle Berlin.

Just before 'Lockdown 2' I bought an amazonia alexa thing.....then I upgraded my prime membership which gives me access to a load of music....( sorry if I sound like an advert)....working in my small spare bedroom/ 'home office'...it has proved invaluable as I realised I could listen to stuff before purchase and find music/performances I had not had the opportunity to listen to....
Celibidache-Brahms Symphony no.2 ( DG recorded in the mid 70's with the Stuttgart Radio Orchestra)
Frequently encountered mention of the debate regarding this conductor and in this particular instance am really enjoying this performance.If there is what some people might regard as a problem with tempo I cannot hear it. Will go onto the 3rd and then have a listen to the later recordings made in Munich.
