What Classical Music Are You Listening To?

[Larry Kart]

Wow -- how did I ever miss this?Maybe I was seduced by my old Maderna LP, lavishly slow, but this Serenade is superb. And I haven't even gotten to Five Pieces yet.

New Prague Trio - Novak, Suk, Fibich - Piano Trios

Beethoven Violin Sonatas  No.7,Op.30/2  &  No.10.Op.96

[Teasing the Korean]

Villa-Lobos

Nonetto and Quatuor, two chamber works, on a Capitol LP conducted by Roger Wagner.  

There are fantastic, and they don't seem to have been recorded very often, if at all, since this 1950s LP.

String Quartet in A minor  and String Quartet in D minor

Villa-Lobos, Forest of the Amazon (1959).

This may have been the last thing he wrote, and I believe this is the only stereo recording of him conducting.

This version runs 47 minutes.  I prefer this recording, and this edit, to the 75-minute version which was recorded posthumously. 

Here is the full album:

I didn't know he composed music.  I thought all he did was piano exercises.

Yes, he composed a number of very good string quartets and also some symphonies. The funny part is that his  non-piano compositions are more interesting than the music he composed for piano/

Argerich - Mendelssohn - Piano Trio No.1,Op.49    and    Schubert - Symphony No.5

[Teasing the Korean]

Now listening to to Green Mansions by Bronislau Kaper and Heitor Villa-Lobos.  Kaper had to rework Villa-Lobos's music for the film, and also wrote his own passages.  Villa-Lobos reworked his own composition into Forest of the Amazon, which I posted earlier.
