Cheers Fergus. The back is still on the mend. Moving more boxes during the week didnt exactly allow it to recover but the worst is over now thankfully. I never would have thought that moving house could be such a pain in the ass(and back!).

Franz Liszt
Piano Concerto no 1
Totentanz

Nelson Freire (Piano)
Dresden Philharmonic Orchestra
Michel Plasson - conducting


I listen to these two pieces every day, this is deeply satisfying music. Does anybody else here listen to Liszt's orchestral music?

Aram Khachaturian
Spartacus Suites Nos. 1-3

St. Petersburg State Symphony Orchestra

Pleasant music but it doesn't excite me.

I am slowly making my way through this set.

Nikolay Myaskovsky
Symphony no 6 in E flat minor, Op. 23 "Revolutionary"

Russian State Symphony Orchestra
Evgeny Svetlanov - conducting


This symphony has been described as Myaskovsky's masterpiece, well I don't know about that. It is a long - 65 minutes or so - and deeply satisfying piece of music.

JSB – Two versions of Cantata BWV19 for the feast of St. Michael and All Angels; first up was the Gardiner version and that was followed by the Harnoncourt version....

Not able to post as often as I would like as I'm waiting on those muppets Vodafone to move my landline/broadband to the new place. 2 weeks now and still waiting.

Gustav Mahler
Symphony No. 3

Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra
Ricardo Chailly - conducting


This is a lovely recording of Mahler's Third Symphony. In fact I have yet to listen to a recording by Ricardo Chailly that disappoints, he is consistently good in everything he does.
