[Corno Dolce]

Symphony #3 by Brahms.

CT64 - I am not against podium tyranny i must say.I am not really interested in a conductor's working ways,i am only interested in the results he gets. Böhm,Klemperer, Reiner and Celibidache,all were podium tyrants but i think all of them superior to Karajan artistically.

 

[methodistgirl]

Toccata and fugue

[Corno Dolce]

Passacaglia in D-minor by Wilhelm Middelschulte.

 

[Contratrombone64]

Tristan and Isolde (first act) - shame it wasn't a death potion, we'd have been spared two hours more tedious music (I jest)

Mendelsohhn organ sonata No 2. Amy Johansen, Sydney University Organ

 

[Corno Dolce]

"Isle of the Dead" by Rachmaninoff.

 

[Contratrombone64]

I think Isle of the Dead would be wonderful in arrangement for organ!!

 

[Corno Dolce]

Hi RADM CT64,

I believe Louis Robillard has done an organ transcription of the piece. Maybe one can order it from Organ Historical Society.

Cheers,

CD

 

[Corno Dolce]

[Krummhorn]

Listening to "The Hope", composed by Frederik Magle

 

[Contratrombone64]

Sweet Corn - thanks for the link. I have a wonderful CD of Gillou and some Japanese lady playing Symphonic Dances (Rachmaninov) for organ using two consoles, i.e. four hands and four feet. It's terrific, on St. Sulpice, from memory.

 

[Contratrombone64]

Back to the question, I'm stuck on Mendelsohhn's wonderful organ sonatas at the moment. I know why they're not played often: they're just too damned difficult!!
