Paul Hindemith (1895-1963): String Quartet No. 4 (1921)
Amar Quartet

A real masterpiece of a string quartet. If you enjoy the chamber music of Shostakovich you’ll have no trouble appreciating Hindemith.

Christian Wolff (1934- ): John, David (1998); Rhapsody (2009)
Robyn Schulkowsky, percussion; SWR Sinfonieorchester Baden-Baden und Freiburg; Lothar Zagrosek, conductor

Ostravská banda; Petr Kotík, Peter Rundel, Roland Kluttig, conductors

Two totally fascinating orchestral works by American composer Christian Wolff. Not “difficult” music but requiring close, thoughtful listening nevertheless to appreciate Wolff’s very original musical syntax.

I normally listen to only 1 CD of classical music whenever I start a long listening session, but yesterday I spun several ...

Bernhard Henrik Crusell - Clarinet Quartets
Marvelous! Best sounding clarinet in my entire collection (I think).

Carl Friedrich Abel - The Drexel Manuscript
Love the sound of the viola da gamba. I have several CDs of this instrument, which I cherish.

Tomaso Albinoni - Double Oboe Concertos and String Concertos Volume 1
Love the sound of the oboe.

Anonymous 4 - An English Ladymass

For those who like the clarinet, the Spohr concertos should not be missed. I like these performances as well as any I've heard. Recommended!

Shostakovich's set of Preludes and Fugues for solo piano is considered by many (including me) to be one of the towering masterpieces of music, along with works by Bach and others. It is a trip to another world.

This is one of several performances that I like. The sound on this release seems more realistic than most, less like one's head is under the lid of the piano. Available on Qobuz.

Be prepared . . . it's about 2.5 hours long. It does not suffer from being listened to in 2 or 3 sessions.
