I have recently come across Kalinnikov's Symphony #1. It was a hidden gem of Russian symphonies! Especially the second movement is beautiful and charming.

I'm also a fan of Kalinnikov's Sym #1. It was a pleasant surprise that had eluded me for decade.

What's this like? Modernistic or neo-Romantic?

Conductor John WIlson, his newly re-established Sinfonia of London, and composer Ottorino Respighi, were all new to me. HR Audio highly recommended Respighi: Feste Romane, Fontane di Roma, Pini di Roma, recorded 2 – 7 September, 2019 and released 6/2/2020. I downloaded the album from Chandos in 24/96 5.0 multichannel. I was so impressed with this album I downloaded John Wilson's other albums and was equally impressed.

Chandos had an earlier series of recordings of works by Respighi that are well worth checking out. Can't tell you if they can be downloaded or not, https://www.amazon.com/Windows-Brazilian-Impressions-Ottorino-Respighi/dp/B00C30Z9XS/ref=pd_sbs_2?pd_rd_w=Pn39L&pf_rd_p=527ea27c-adf6-4b67-9c5f-265eb29e0622&pf_rd_r=T4Z8FH5CVAAVB5F46X4Y&pd_rd_r=d3d34cfa-b9fe-4910-a8f9-045e14a81a66&pd_rd_wg=ApriN&pd_rd_i=B00C30Z9XS&psc=1and here's an awesome disc. https://www.amazon.com/Respighi-Belkis-Queen-Sheba-Gnomes/dp/B00005OAD4/ref=sr_1_27?crid=296G5BL79R4BT&dchild=1&keywords=respighi&qid=1616613587&s=music&sprefix=Respi%2Caps%2C256&sr=1-27

Attacca Quartet played in my city last week on Easter Day, in an outdoor concert under a big shelter pavilion roof at local city park. I sat at a picnic table 8 feet behind the violist, 10 feet from cellist. They had a different cellist than this recording but otherwise same band and they played the opening track from this CD along with another original modern piece called “Strum” and Ravel’s String Quartet. The concert was fantastic. Often a live gig doesn’t translate to the CD when listened after the concert. But the CD is as good and in some ways better aside from the perfect sound quality of live band. Their articulation and timing was excellent. Tonal balance was terrific as heard in this Cd. Of course sitting that close to a live band is a rare experience but the album comes close. Its very dynamic and maybe a slight bit better rehearsed. This album won a Grammy. Extremely well recorded. The compositions are modern and mildly innovative but easy to enjoy with a slightly open mind. The tonal texture is very intense, intonation perfect. Highly recommended!

Vivaldi's Four Seasons. Never get tired of it.

Not that it has anything to do with this album in particular, but I'm amazed at what these Klipsch RP-8000F's do for piano. Very convincing with proper body and dynamics.
