Gosh and golly - that looks interesting, Marco, and very obscure! - How did you find your way to York Bowen?
I have these 2 CDs in a box set, and yep, I agree, great music!
Bowen's 3 concertos for viola, piano and violin are also well worth hearing.
Yesterday chez-Jerry ....
Luvverly - I'm not usually a fan of Simon Rattle but this is gorgeous music very well performed, lovely solo vocals, too.
I'm getting into Rattle's Birmingham Sibelius symphony cycle, too. Listened to twice yesterday ---
.
The Szymanovsky Stabat Mater is rather gorgeous.

Entirely fortuitously, Jerry... After being blown away by Chloë Hanslip's solo violin playing, when attending a recent live classical performance in Wrexham, with the BBC National Orchestra of Wales, I searched the Net for some her music and found the aforementioned CD!Originally Posted by jandl100

I guess that's one of the knock-on benefits of going to hear live music
Subsequently, York Bowen is now on my radar for future classical music purchases.

Brahms symphony 2 & 3 fest continues chez-Jerry ....
Marriner and the Acadamy of St Martin in the Fields- far too light weight for Brahms!
Actually, it's a rather refreshing change and works well
Ah, but this is the real McCoy ....
Karajan's 1980s digital recording. Cor.

Brahms - Piano Concerto No.1, Nelson Freire with the Gewandhausorchester under Chailly. One of my very favourite concerto recordings of all with some heavenly piano playing and a wonderful sense of the over-arching structure of this huge piece. Beautifully recorded by Decca too.
