Was expecting this to be some horrible CD transfer from an old live recording of a bootleg out of copyright release., esp as it was only US$5 new.

 

Well, it just may well be. But it actually sounds really quite good! :)

Gidon Kremer, Kremerata Baltica - Weinberg: Chamber Symphonies and Piano Quintet

 

My morning commute companion....well some of it...given that it is over 2 hours and today's commute wasn't.

 

I am ever so glad that one of our esteemed classical spinners tipped us off to the  Weinberg symphonies.  the Symphony 2 and 21 recordings are fantastic and the music is engrossing.  Finding this equally interesting and have been drawn back to it a few times since recent purchase.

Neville Marriner & ASMF - Bach: Art Of Fugue / Musical Offering -- picked up this 2xCD today for $0.50 ... yoink! An interesting listen, scored for a variety of instruments (strings, organ, harpsichord, etc). Noice, but personally I prefer the Emerson String Quartet version or the Tatiana Nikolayeva piano version.

I just heard that Alice Sara Ott was diagnosed with MS earlier this year. She is such a talented pianist. It must be devastating for her.

Raymond Lewenthal - Piano Music of Alkan -- yoinked this CD and a bunch of other classical titles today for $0.50 each ... always a thrill to see any recordings of Alkan's notoriously technically difficult piano pieces. This recording from the mid 1960s covers a good smattering of the composer's styles. And there's one of Liszt's trickier pieces on the end. The "high performance" series apparently means remastered in 24/96. Recording sounds pretty good anyway, I assume.

Nice to recognise such troubling news.  In this Jacqueline Du Pre is sad company to keep.

Snap ... I am playing another of yesterday's $0.50 CD yoinks right now:

Mischa Maisky & Pavel Gililov - Meditation -- piano & violincello duets. Can do without another Ave Maria but not bad overall.
