^^ Okko Kamu is conducting a Sibelius programme (surprise, surprise!!) at Cadogan Hall
Karelia Suite
Violin Concerto (Soloist: Elina Vahala)
Symphony No.5
Perhaps the most predicatble Sibelius programme possible, but I am looking forward to it

Hey Matt. I think Bax's symphonies are all of a very high quality, but I gather the 6th is viewed as his greatest piece. Don't forget the tone poems; they are splendid too. I hope you have the chance to try some more Bax...ravel30 wrote:Nice! This is the only cd that I have of Bax's music and I enjoy it. I always wondered about his other symphonies. Some people suggested me to try his 6th.bombasticDarren wrote:Bax - November Woods (David Lloyd-Jones, Royal Scottish National Orchestra, Naxos)

My Vlast by Bedrich Smetana Antoni Wit/Polish Radio Symphony Orchestra/Naxos
You know the feeling you get when you listen to a cd that you haven't listen to in years and then after a few minutes you realize how great that piece is? Well that is what I felt after listening to that cd. Love everything that I have ever heard from Smetana.

Le tombeau de Couperin played by Alexandre Tharaud
And Ma mere l'oie for 4 hands piano
A lot of the orchestral pieces by Ravel were first composed for piano. Ravel is one of the greatest orchestrator that there was but I more often than enough prefer the piano version to the orchestral version. The two pieces that I listened tonight are better on the piano in my opinion.

Matt, I hope that you have copies of the Kubelik/CPO (1989) recording on Supraphon and the Talich/CPO (1954) recording on Naxos, both recordings are essential listening for anyone who loves Má Vlast.ravel30 wrote:My Vlast by Bedrich Smetana Antoni Wit/Polish Radio Symphony Orchestra/Naxos

Kuchar has a very good 3 CD set of Smetana's Orchestral works, it is available on Brilliant Classics, it's very cheap too.
