A Lark Ascending Posted April 11, 2016 Report Share Posted April 11, 2016 (edited) Disc 2: 'A Child of Our Time'; and the stand alone arrangement of the five spirituals for choir tucked on the end. Disc 3 K593, K614 No. 1...and then on to 2, 3, 4. Don't know this music except in passing but very much enjoyed it this morning. Everything from allusions to Scottish folk songs to a wonderful section from the middle of the 4th built round the arresting harmonic sequence that opens the 4th Symphony (or maybe the symphony reflects the sonata). Tippett's music doesn't seem to get out much at present...quite common I suppose in the immediate years after a composers death. I'm keen to hear some of this live. Hopefully the Proms will come good. Edited April 11, 2016 by A Lark Ascending Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry Kart Posted April 13, 2016 Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 "The Sound of Stokowski and Wagner," a 1959 RCA Living Stereo LP, which I found today in very good shapehttp://www.amazon.com/SOUND-STOKOWSKI--WAGNER--SYMPHONY-AIR/dp/B008F0978I/ref=sr_1_6?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1460508141&sr=1-6&keywords=the+sound+of+Stokowski+and+wagner Composer-critic Robin Holloway, who knows his Wagner inside-out (he wrote the excellent book "Debussy and Wagner," among other things) has said that in his view Stokowski was THE Wagner conductor. Having listened to this disc, I believe him. The implicit synesthesia of Wagner's music is right there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Lark Ascending Posted April 14, 2016 Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 (edited) Disc 1 (of a 6 CD download a few years back). Originally aimed at the dead maestro market, I suspect, but otherwise serves a very useful function. There are bucket loads of full opera recording and plenty of one or two disc greatest hits sets but this one nicely falls in the middle, allowing you to hear extensive chunks from each of the operas when you are not in the moody for taking on the full beasts. Chirps only. There's a companion set of orchestral music. Â Â Edited April 14, 2016 by A Lark Ascending Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Lark Ascending Posted April 15, 2016 Report Share Posted April 15, 2016 Both of these sounded wonderful this morning. You usually hear "Estancia" as a short suite but in its 30 minute + state it is marvellous - the whole album has echoes of Ravel, Falla, very early Stravinsky and, of course, South American music. It's 'Uirapuru' on the VL that really grabs me - a really haunting chain of harmonies at the start that linger in your brain.  No 6 off the Rubbra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
