Bach- Actus Tragicus BWM 106- German Harmonia Mundi. My copy is vinyl but I've read from the BBC the CD recording by another band on French HM is very good. Hence, I mention it again to you, again. That and because it doesn't get dusty around here.

Don't call me luv!

Bach's Golberg Variations, Angela Hewitt's version.
Seems she was just practising while the recorder was "on" and did not intend to release it as a recording.

A very fine violin concerto and one of my favourites ...

William Walton: Violin Concerto ~ James Ehnes; Bramwell Tuvey / Vancouver Symphony

... a very fine performance, and the Barber & Korngold are great too.

Tyson,
Do you have Kyung-Wha Chung's Bruch recording? I have the Perlman Scottish fantasy and some other recording of the concerto, but never heard them played like she does them. What a magnificent violinist.

Tyson · « **Reply #313 on:** 28 Sep 2010, 03:08 am »

Randy,
Agreed, Chung is indeed a very special artist. I have a huge number of performers in the standard repertoire and I always come back to Chung as being well neigh definitive in almost all of them, including Bruch.

not a bad debut album was it

- I have to agree - she has played many of my reference VCs.

just spun

nice listening , great recording, lovely playing - but i wouldn't have picked it as Haydn across a crowded room -

that's more like it -IMO anyway

I've been listening to one of my audio reference discs ...

John Rutter: Requiem ~ Timothy Seelig - Turtle Creek Chorale; Women's chorus of Dallas

Sappy religiosity but beautiful just the same, and fantasic sound -- thank you, Prof. Johnson.

Randy · « **Reply #316 on:** 28 Sep 2010, 07:52 pm »

I've never been able to tolerate the wobble in the female voices of the Turtle Creek Chorale, esp. in this recording.

What? Don't you think that a little of tremolo indicates greater spiritual involvement and sincerity? Don't forget these pieces are religious in inspiration; if you were a Turtle Creek Choraler you wouldn't want anybody to doubt your Christian faith! (And if some tremolo is good, more must be better, right?)

Alright, I'm getting suspicious here. Maybe your Christian faith isn't what it ought to be.

I assume you are joking, or at least I hope you are. I like the piece of music pretty well and have a couple other recordings of it. Wobbly, matronly sounding female choruses like you get here are not to my taste.
