You might give this a listen.....

Brahms' Symphony no. 1 and Ravel's Bolero....on the Vuvuzela...

Great performances!

It certainly does full justice for Bolero.

Been listening to ...

Elliott Carter: String Quartet No. 3 -- two versions:

1. Arditti String Quartet -

2. Pacifica Quartet -

I like the Arditti slightly better for performance but the Pacific for sound quality.

Smitten by Gorecki lately, so listened to 2 versions in the last couple of days. Still awaiting to hear Dawn Upshaw's, see what a more soaring and more penetrating soprano sound would convince me as being the best Gorecki 3 recording. The NAXOS is OK. The Naive is superb in its SACD sound. Now, give me the best soprano voice......

Mussorgsky - Pictures at an Exhibition
Original Version & Orchestration by Vladimir Ashkenazy

Vladimir Ashkenazy (Piano)

Recorded: Kingsway Hall, London, June 1982 (piano original); September 1982

I have a few different versions of Pictures with full orchestration, but this 'piano only' version may be the most enjoyable version to date.

Vivaldi: Le Quattro Stagioni (The Four Seasons); Pachelbel: Canon; Albinoni: Adagio for Strings and Organ
Vivaldi (Composer), Pachelbel (Composer), Albinoni (Composer), Karl Munchinger (Conductor), Stuttgart Chamber orchestra

I actually have the vinyl version imported, and it lists 'Pachelbel Kanon' ahead of the 4 Seasons on album cover.

Mahler Symphony no. 2 Resurrection
Mahler (Artist), Kaplan (Artist), Lso (Artist) | Format: vinyl

Very nice recording, $1 vinyl. Was just reading the history/knock on this, that Kaplan was a wealthy man who learned to conduct simply to lead this piece, so it's technically correct, but no artists soul.

Well, the technical correctness of it has my attention, and in a good way.
