Mozart - Concerto for flute and harp & Oboe Concerto (Robert Wolf/Naoko Yoshino/Hans-Peter Westermann/Nikolaus Harnoncourt, Concentus musicus Wien, Teldec)
Niiiiiiice! I am a big fan of Borodin and especially of his unfinished third. The first movement is amazing. It is at the same time catchy, philosophical and spiritual. I have always found that movement to be very unique. Maybe it has to do with Glazunov's orchestration...bombasticDarren wrote:Borodin - Symphony No.1 & No.3 (Orch:Glazunov) (Gerard Schwarz, Seattle Symphony, Naxos)
I had never heard Borodin's 1st or 3rd symphonies before this disc. I really enjoyed the 1st and the fragments of the 3rd were absolutely wonderful...if completed it would have been a worthy follow up to the glorious 2nd symphony. I hope more of you give this disc a try.ravel30 wrote:Niiiiiiice! I am a big fan of Borodin and especially of his unfinished third. The first movement is amazing.

Matt.
Darren, I share you admiration for Borodin's orchestral works, this set on Brilliant Classics is well worth getting:bombasticDarren wrote:I had never heard Borodin's 1st or 3rd symphonies before this disc.
