Spinning Today (Classical version)

The perfect recording of Mozart Requiem?
There's no such thing of course.
So many to choose from, across a whole range of styles. Who can manage to listen to them all?
But this one with William Christie might just get my vote.
It gets mixed reviews on Amazon, but I think that's a good sign and indicates an individual approach to the music.

Songs of the Auvergne
Netania Davrath
1959 recording absolutely lovely. On vinyl.

^ Yep, superb recording of the Songs of the Auvergne. What a voice!
Thanks for the prompt, Chris, I'll have a listen later.

Quite a Mozarty day yesterday.
Probably my favourite Mozart pianist - Jeno Jando

... and Elgar's 1st symphony with Slatkin.

Always on the lookout for organ music that's a bit out of the ordinary, I found this on Spotify...



The organ voices suit these works very well, I think.

I remember having a crack at these transcriptions many years ago. They were published in Debussy's lifetime and are very idiomatic for those wonderful French organs of the era - they sound like Debussy had actually written them for the instrument. Marvellous. I didn't realise they had been recorded.

80 minutes of nothing much at all.
But strangely fascinating.

Whooshhh.

Chopin playing like this takes my breath away. Beautiful.
