Title: New classical titles
Post by: Desertpilot on 25 Aug 2023, 09:22 pm

Hi All,

I've downloaded several new titles that you may find interesting.  I download (nowadays, surround DXD) directly from the studio website and when not available, from Native DSD.

-- Tchaikovsky: Symphony No. 5, Schulhoff: Five Pieces for String Quartet (arr. Honeck/Ille), Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, Manfred Honeck, music director  (Reference Recordings available at Native DSD).
---- Review by David Hurwitz:  Review: Honeck's Thrillingly Visceral Tchaikovsky Fifth https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sedKJn597Ds (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sedKJn597Ds)
---- Review on HRAudio:  https://www.hraudio.net/showmusic.php?title=16101#reviews (https://www.hraudio.net/showmusic.php?title=16101#reviews)

-- Mattias Spee, Eclipse Vol. 2, Hans Henkemans  Mostly solo piano.  Vol. 1 is also fabulous.  (from TRPTK)
---- Review on HR Audio:  https://www.hraudio.net/showmusic.php?title=16059#reviews (https://www.hraudio.net/showmusic.php?title=16059#reviews)

-- Works by von Tilzer, "Into Eternity".  Tracks 1 - 3 are sad beyond belief.  Tracks 4 - 8 change direction to a lovely chamber/jazz fusion mix. (from TRPTK)
---- On YouTube:  The Letter of Vilma Grunwald (Into Eternity), https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YvbZBLl_Lyg (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YvbZBLl_Lyg)
---- Joost Galema, NRC, writes: "From the dark turmoil of the opening movement, Von Tilzer allows the sung letter to rise slowly — with soft strings and the heartbeat of the piano — from the muck of Auschwitz. And in the final movement, she recaptures innocence from hatred and evil through the simplicity of a lullaby, a beautiful dialogue between alto Bella Adamova and Maya Fridman's drifting cello."

-- Nicolas van Poucke, The Schumann Collection, Vol. 2.  Release date is October,  https://trptk.com/shop/downloads/the-schumann-collection-vol-2/ (https://trptk.com/shop/downloads/the-schumann-collection-vol-2/).  Solo piano (from TRPTK).  I own Volume 1.  Can't wait for its release.

-- Hannes Minnaar, Shostakovich: 24 Preludes and Fugues.  https://spiritofturtle.com/collections/downloads/products/hannes-minnaar-24-preludes-fugues-op-87-2-discs-download (https://spiritofturtle.com/collections/downloads/products/hannes-minnaar-24-preludes-fugues-op-87-2-discs-download).  Solo piano and I listen to it frequently.  (from Spirit of the Turtle).
