Olivier Latry's recording of Messiaen's Complete Organ Works
Attachment 17051
While the sound of this DG recording is excellent I'm an admirer of Jennifer Bate's earlier cycle on Regis and I am still undecided if I like Latry's version at all.
:scratch:
''One of the wonderful things I do with Spotify is choose a particular recording of a work to settle down with ....
I start off playing one and if that doesn't hit the spot I start a different recording at the point the first one had got to. And so on, until I find one that suits. Often enough, it can be done pretty close to seamlessly with Spotify.''
10/4 on that, Jerry.
I don't usually get on with viola concertos, but this one by a 20thC Romanian composer (1929-1993) maintains interest throughout.
The symphony is interesting, too.

Mahler homework
^ Mahler isn't homework for me, but Barbirolli certainly is!
I must try harder.

This is mighty appealing to me. It may not be for others!
Beautiful, ancient music.
Lovely sq, too.

More Schnittke.
I found the 1st concerto quite listenable, but the 2nd I think I would classify under "weird noises" rather than music, although (disturbingly) it is starting to grow on me. :eek:

And then Op 109 from this set, this is masterly playing, imo.
I like "late Brendel" - but I'm not very keen on his earlier recordings.
