Re: What are you listening to?
Didn't know that disc even existed, Dave, will have to look it up. I'll be turning pages and pulling stops for a friend at a recital in Luxemburg soon, and she's playing some Saint-Saens. I don't know much of his organ music, even though he's squarely in the period that I love.

Schumann – Symphonies 2 & 3 Goodman....
No. 2 was wonderful with a really agitated Scherzo and a beautiful, expressive slow movement.
No. 3 was much different than any other version I have heard and I will need to assess it with a few more listening sessions.

Re: What are you listening to?
Out of sheer perversity:
Bruckner 4, KlangVerwaltung Orchestra conducted by Enoch zu Guttenberg (father of CSU politician Karl-Theodor Freiherr von und zu Guttenberg, currently in trouble for cogging his PhD thesis). Beautifully recoreded, but I found no reason to change my previously expressed opinion!
What a relief to turn to
Cantata 127 Herr Jesu Christ, wahr' Mensch und Gott for Estomihi Sunday in Vol. 34 of Suzuki's Bach Cantata series. Wonderful: stunning soprano (Carolyn Sampson) aria, "Die Seele ruht in Jesu Händen".
Finally a favourite CD:
Songs by Grieg, Anne-Sofie von Otter with Bengt Forsberg: one of the first CDs I ever bought and I keep listening to it, especially the Haugtussa cycle which starts the disc.

Re: What are you listening to?
I think you played that for us during one of the classical meetups in your place a few years ago. I found it challenging at the time but made a note of it. My classical palette has advanced a bit since then so I might take the plunge and get this recording.Ciaran wrote:Finally a favourite CD:

I have the two of them performing songs by Sibelius and they are very enjoyable, Ciaran, I think that I might have played a snippet for you when you paid me a visit?Ciaran wrote:Finally a favourite CD:
