Earlier today .... :

[Peter Friedman]

Symphony No.6 "Pastoral"

[JSngry]

 

[soulpope]

(IMO) never bettered performance .... closest effort most likely by Alban Berg Quartett + Heinrich Schiff ....

[A Lark Ascending]

Disc 1 of the first - Sonata 1 + 2, Partita 1. 

Still my favourite 'classical' record of recent years. Sheer entertainment, drawing off a range of Rameau's opera and covering a diversity of moods and colours. 'Tristes apprets' will break your heart. 

[Peter Friedman]

Cello Sonata Op.102/1 & Op.102/2

[Balladeer]

Maria Lettberg - Melartin: The Solo Piano Works (Crystal Classics)

Disc 2

Major discovery

 

[Chuck Nessa]

I will be diving into this puppy this evening..

[A Lark Ascending]

Disc 2 of the Bach - Partita 2, 3; Sonata 3.

'War Memorials' is a new release of music for brass band - 26 minutes of contemporary arrangements of lesser known Britten; 50 mins of pieces by Robin Holloway, Lucy Pankhurst and John McCabe. You normally get a flurry of 'war' related discs just before Remembrance Day though they tend to recycle the same pieces. Good to see the commemoration marked with unfamiliar music.

 

Cantatas 162, 49, 180

Apologies for size of that one - only seems to otherwise come in postage stamp size. 

[Peter Friedman]

No.3,Op.87 and No.4, Op.136

[alankin]

Now playing:
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart  
– Concerto for Piano No.21 in C major K 467
– Concerto for Piano No.27 in B flat major K 595
Daniel Barenboim (piano)  – English Chamber Orchestra  – Daniel Barenboim (EMI Classics)

First serious and proper listening of this famous record: marvelous! Incredible sound (Mark Levinson and Bob Ludwig involved).

Loren Connors and Jack Rose come to my guitar player's mind, of course the inspiration is here.
