Ernst Von Dohnanyi Seranade for String Trio Op.10 (modern yet easy on the ears), and Quintet for Piano and Strings N.2 Op 26 on the AFKA label. A 1979 issue opened tonight and a very nice LP. After hearing it, I went shopping for more.

Sublime Schubert in excellent performances.

No one knew Gershwin better than Oscar Levant. Listening to a promo copy from the 40's remastered in '87.

In laws are visiting from German. So it's been Bach, Beethoven, and Mozart around here....

When Mozart was born, there was no Germany.

True, but by that criteria, neither was Beethoven; although I'm pretty sure most encyclopedias (do they still exist?) write: Bonn-Germany. Like Mozart he gets to be a Holy Roman.

The first volume of HJ Lim's Beethoven sonata cycle. It's not very good, by which I mean it's quite poor. Ms Lim plays fast, fast, fast, but varies tempos too much and to poor effect (she's no Russell Sherman), and though she plays fast, clarity is not the greatest.

Someone wanting to sample some new Beethoven played on a high level may be more interested in Francois Frederic Guy. He tinkers with tempi a bit, and adds his own personal stamp, but his playing is comparable to some of the big name cycles. If the rest of his cycle is as good as his first volume, he may displace Eric Heidsieck as my preferred French player of Beethoven.

A very different Shostakovich, Symphony no. 14- Rostropovich conducting an ensemble of the Moscow Phil (Melodiya). Wow. Been too long since I've listened to this.

La Mer
Debussy (Artist), Lap (Artist), Leinsdorf (Artist) | vinyl

After 10 trips to the Philly Symphonic Orchestra, for first time enjoying a recording more than the live performance. I don't think the PSO was on their 'A' game last night, seemed somewhat turgid and ponderous. This recording is much more alive.

Sundays are Bach days for me. Listening to Egarr's performance of the Brandenburg Concertos in HiRez. Sprightly and engaging. Perfect for a spring sunday in Denver:
