What classical music did you listen to today?

[Contratrombone64]

Beethoven Symphony 9, Roger Norrington, London Classical Players with the glorious Yvonne Kenny as soprano. Now, I thought I had enough Beethoven Cycles on period instruments and wasn't going to buy the Norrington, but the set was like $40 (all the symphonies) so how could I resist. AND I just LOVE it. In fact it's wonderful.

 

[Corno Dolce]

Complete Piano works by Sergei Rachmaninoff interpreted by Vladimir Ashkenazy.

 

[Contratrombone64]

Ashkenazy, ah yes, a true and gifted artist. He's also my home town orchestra's newly appointed chief conductor ... yay!!

 

[Corno Dolce]

Son of a gun.......Ashkenazy chief conductor down Sydney way???

 

[marval]

My favourite LP (yes I still have vinyl) is Chopin played by Ashkenazy, I could never play it enough.

i like to rejoice when waking up by listening to a music that evokes the worst nightmare for all of us: the truth of human monstrosity, turned into something so beautiful:

Gorecki's third symphony.
