Re: What are you listening to?
I have been thinking about that Seán and comparing a number of different versions of the one work is something that I used to do a lot of; and I really used to enjoy it as it is a great way to really get to know a work. I really must get back to basics in this regard and resume that practice again. My new purchases have diminished to the extent that I am now at my lowest level for quite some time of the discs sitting on my shelf awaiting listening....a mere 10CDs + 2 box sets. I really am trying to catch up on listening to my collection as opposed to just continually adding to it.Seán wrote:This morning I listened to and really enjoyed a performance of Beethoven's First on Lyric's Coffee Concert, the programme was presented by Paul Herriott. So today I have enjoyed a feast of Beethoven Firsts and all are so different.

Disc 2, The 'Haffner' and the 'Linz' symphonies. The overall sound feels a bit 'heavier' and larger than the previous release of the later symphonies a few months ago but overall this is still an extremely good recording to have.

I really like it Dave....Brahms with a bit of life to it as Solti can really attack the music!

Re: What are you listening to?
After listening to the Mackerras/RLPO recording of Beethoven's First yet again, I moved on to:
and the symphonies 7 & 8 from Svetlanov's marvelous box set of Miaskovsky Symphonies:
and finally to the second of the two recordings that succeeded in turning me into a Mahler nut:
