Music for tonight....

http://classicalandjazz.blogspot.com/2010/11/bach-sonatas-partitas-by-nathan.html

Bach 6 Sonatas & Partitas for Solo Violin.
One set recorded in EMI (1950s) & another set in DG (1970s).

Music for today:

Rameau Une Symphonie Imaginaire

http://classicalandjazz.blogspot.com/2010/11/rameau-une-symphonie-imaginaire.html

KT Turnstall - Tiger Suit. KT goes electro-pop!


James - The Night Before. First EP of the double album (The Night Before/The Morning After combo)


LCD Soundsystem - Sound of Silver. Hit the beat! Argentinian pressing as is increasingly the norm


New Order - Power, Corruption & Lies

This is probably my best find from the Amcorp Mall in the last few years. The 1979 record is mint, not a single scratch and sounds fabulous.

More Swing? Dick Hyman's "From the Age of Swing"!

"In the digital mood."
This is Glenn Miller's best!

Finished all the Mahler's Symphonies; recording is very decent. The standard of the recording seems varied from disc to disc, but still a very enjoyable set.

How would you rate Jascha Horenstein's Mahler?

Rgds.

Hi, ecoli123.

Leonard Bernstein is one of the conductors who put a lot of efforts to introduce the Mahler Symphonies to music lovers.

Horenstein recordings are my reference for Mahler Symphonies. Unfortunately, he didn't record Symphonies 2, 5 and unfinished 10 (at least I still can't find any commercial recording for it). I haven't listened a 3rd and Das Lied von der Erde come close to his. But no doubt, it is difficult to collect his CD, very rare in market especially those from Unicorn (1st, 3rd and 6th).

Other Mahler conductors that I like are Hermann Scherchen (still searching for his 2nd), John Barbirolli (his unforgettable 5th), Bruno Walter & Otto Klemperer.

Hi,
Did you listen to Fritz Kreisler too?

No Kreisler in my collection .
I was looking for his "Liebesfreud & Libesleid" at one time, but no luck.

11 CD sets? Haven't seen it in our shore!

Hi 2A3,

If I were to buy just one CD each by Julia Fischer, Janine Jansen and Hilary Hahn. What are your recommendations?

I knew I have a copy of Jacques Loussier some where in the heaps.
At last, found it:-

You should try Kreisler works, very musical.
But all are poor mono recordings.
I am OK maybe because I am listen to it with lowfi system.

Hi, ecoli123.
I am not familiar with Julia Fisher and Janine Jansen albums.
But I think you can try Julia Fisher's Bach 6 Sonatas & Partitas for Solo Violin, Janine Jansen's Bach Inventions & Partita.

Regarding Hilary Hahn, I have her CDs.
http://classicalandjazz.blogspot.com/search/label/Hilary%20Hahn
All are gifts from a Japanese friend who is a part time violinist.
You can consider her Bach, Stravinsky or Mozart works also.
If only could have 1 CD, I will choose her Elgar Concerto & Vaughan Williams's The Lark Ascending.

Check my collection last night, and found 2 tracks of Fritz Kreisler from this album of Isaac Stern.

Thank you for taking time to response. You are extremely helpful here in this forum.

Found this blog, with some brief comments on both Hahn and Jansen.

Hi, ecoli123.

Thanks for sharing.
The Jansen's Mendelssohn is a great performance.
It is first time for me to listen to Jansen.

But please take note if you plan to buy the album.
I think this is not the performance recoded in her Mendelssohn/Bruch album.
It is necause the conductor in Youtube is Roger Norrington and not Riccardo Chailly.

Just for sharing, my personal favorite for Mendelssohn VC are:
1) Kyung Wha Chung
http://classicalandjazz.blogspot.com/2010/11/mendelssohn-bruch-violin-concertos.html
2) Yehudi Menuhin (one of the best Beethoven also)
http://classicalandjazz.blogspot.com/2010/11/beethoven-mendelssohn-violin-concertos.html
3) Jascha Heifetz
http://classicalandjazz.blogspot.com/2010/10/beethoven-mendelssohn-violin-concertos.html

I think I like Isaac Stern.
He is a great violinist also and have so many recordings.
But dunno why till now I have only one of his albums, Mozart Piano Quartets.
http://classicalandjazz.blogspot.com/2010/12/mozart-piano-quartets-by-emanuel-ax.html

Hi...

My choices, where he has managed to fuse the Piano as one instrument weaving around in the arrangements alongside the violin, the flute, and acoustic guitars in what is really ensemble playing. ( one of my finds during a visit to my regular haunt )

On Rebecca Pidgeon, one of the classical, heavy vocal, smooth flowing and good presentation.

Simply entertaining and soothing.

cheers
