Or just go in another direction altogether with some Chopin piano concertos instead... this latest release from Benjamin Grovesnor is good.

Streamed this.

IMHO, a WOW for Grosvenor's performance on Concerto No.2, 1st mvmt.

Enjoyed Concerto No.1. 3rd movement I found stellar.

Gidon Kremer · Mirga Gražinyt?-Tyla · City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra · Mirga Gražinyt?-Tyla

I appreciated (the max, if you like) No. 2, 1st mvmt.

Also, No. 21, 2nd mvmt. resonated for me.

K.219 & K.216 sure soar when performed by these two.

Cover Art by Neil Waldman.

And the rest of this Sibelius selection is ok too.

I like the original cover better:

Streamed Suite Balladesque - Adagio. Beautiful stuff.

 

[CKKeung]

Again a very enjoyable old cd.
And it's much much cheaper than the ERC 008 reissue and got a few more songs.

Gluck: Iphigénie en Tauride
Orchestra La Scintilla, William Christie, et al.

K.219 & K.216 sure soar when performed by these two.

The K.364 not too shabby either

 

[accwai]

Jean-Philippe Rameau: Les Indes Galantes
Les Arts Florissants, William Christie, Andrei Serban, Blanca Li, et al.

 

[CKKeung]

Interesting CD.
Songs of Dvorak transcriptrd by his great-grandson Josef Suk.
The booket written by Tully Potter is a good read too.

Listening to contemporary classic? Than you probably will also need this one - Gustavo Dudamel and the Los Angeles Philharmonic playing Andrew Norman’s Sustain. An impressive recording, BTW. But you will not be able to stop listening until it ends!
