Another EMI record that sounds terrific is the Charles Groves Malcolm Arnold second symphony and English Dances. But then, Arnold was such a great orchestrater so his music always sounds great. And then we have the Lyrita catalogue...

Very cool to hear the music of Frank Bridge, I've seen him mentioned many times in program notes for Benjamin Britten, but just never stumbled across his music until now, thank you! It's funny you mention the Solit Brahms set, and I have to say I don't think I've gone back to that cycle much in the last few years, I acquired an old rca mono box set of the Toscanini/NBC recordings, and while they're no audiophile marvel, I've become enamored with just how spectacular those performances are. Lastly, of all the great tracks reissues Bernie has cut, some of the best have been the ones he did of Minako Yoshida, a great jazzy vocalist I highly recommend checking out (Monochrome is my favorite). Thanks for the great entry! I'll try to do the drawing later this week once I get over this cold.

Try to find a copy of that Bridge record - it is very special. Yes, the Toscanini Brahms recordings are, how shall we say, very Toscanini!! I have the set on Testament - live gigs from London in the early 50s. I know you are primarily an LP guy, but I must say that through the wonderful transfers on the Pristine label I have discovered some amazing historical recordings, including the incredible Toscanini Beethoven cycle from 1939. The sound is superb and the performances jaw-dropping. I was very happy to retire my LPs/CDs of the later studio cycle whose sound was always a barrier for me. I will totally check out that Yoshida record.... Hope you feel better soon.... BTW I commented on your excellent Bernstein/Mahler review on the Hofmann forums. Looking forward to reading you often on Fremer's site.

For Shostakovich and that great portrait of him , the same was used on the quadraphonic version of the 10th conducted by Pavo Berglund (the insert). But first really came to know Dimitri's music on the Neeme Jarvi /Royal National Scottish Orchestra on Chandos label...almost complete cycle. First one I ever picked up in the late 80's was the 4th symphony...mind blown! Love Steve Wilson's mixes as well. Need to check out Porcupine Tree.

I watched your video of EMI gems part 2 again and loved your story about watching the sun rise on a beach in Aldeburgh. I can really relate to that as music follows me everywhere. In 1986 I was visiting London for a few weeks and I lived with an Australian woman who was a flute player in the marvellous Lontano Ensemble. We had a wonderful time and one day we went in her car to the countryside and there we walked slowly on a beach of pebbles - and suddenly I saw Moot Hall frpm Peter Grimes. This sight is etched in my memory and I almost wept as Britten and Peter Grimes is so close to my heart. We also visited the graveyard where Britten is buried and Pears had recently left us and had only a modest wooden cross on his grave. Poignant.

Oh man! I visited Britten's grave when I was in Aldeburgh that summer of '79. I could barely process my emotions. His music means so much to me. First sang the Missa Brevis when I was around 11 I think.... I will never forget that concert of Murray Perahia doing Mozart piano concertos - it was so moving. I remember going out into the parking lot to get some air during the interval and Peter Pears was sitting in his car weeping.... This was only three years after Britten's death, and everyone in that concert felt like we had touched something elemental and profoundly spiritual. Oh the Moot Hall! One of the greatest evenings of my life was seeing Jon Vickers sing Grimes in the famed Covent Garden production - a searing interpretation. On a lighter note, that morning sunrise on the Aldeburgh beach was shared with a lovely girl with whom I'd been partying all night - added quite the extra dimension to watching the fishing boats set sail.....

@@musiconrecord6724 I envy you the wonderful memories and I have always wished I was born in England. Britten is one of the two composers who is most important to me, the other is Stravinsky. I wrote about how I discovered Stravinsky and classical music in the book "Abecedaire" published by Fondation Stravinsky. Only in French unfortunately. When I was young I heard Simple Symphony and a few pieces by Vaughan Williams so when I saw that the radio was going to play Britten's "Spring Symphony" I looked forward to an evening of pastoral pleasantaries. It took five seconds and my ears was sharpened and it still is one of my favorite Britten works. I was lucky enough to have in my home town, Malmoe in Sweden, a record shop of the highest quality. Not only could I buy the Stravinsky conducts Stravinsky on American Columbia pressings but also the Britten conducts Britten catalogue on Decca. I have so many wonderful memories of getting to know all this music and taking the ferry to Copenhagen to buy the piano score of Peter Grimes. But I have to confess, I don't like the "War Requiem". I find it so dull and predictable and I have several recordings and have heard it live a couple of times. But no. I give it a try every two years or so, but nothing happens.

Sorry it took so long to watch your delightful video. I'm a collector of classical on CD but I participate with the vinyl community (I've been singing your praises as best I can). I enjoyed learning about your interest in music outside of classical. I found recordings we have in common as well as titles I'm curious to explore. I love King Crimson, Steven Wilson, and Gentle Giant.

I got hold of a grooved repressing of Solti’s Mendelssohn Italian with the Israel Phil on Ace of Diamondsfor a pound in Oxfam it sounded marvellous and tube-tastic I will definitely keep my eyes out for more. Your entry was a hugely enjoyable epic. Your entry for POP’s 5000 inspired me to have a go this time. It’s not a pretty sight but everyone has to start somewhere!

You started this talk with two of my favorite records and I remember vividly how I reacted when they were first released. I played them over and over again and I still love them just as much. The sound on the Britten is probably the best ever with a very dynamic range and a natural sound. I actually prefer the Bridge The Sea to Debussy's. I actually own a copy of the first published full score of The Sea from around 1921. There are markings in it but I don't know who made them.

What a piece of serendipity. That Britten has long been one of my demo records - it is ravishing on every level. But the Bridge is fully its equal. Interestingly, after listening to the Bridge I put on some orchestral Takemitsu (Quatrain etc. with Tashi and Ozawa on DG) and in spite of the obvious tonal differences the pieces felt remarkably similar in their ebb and flow.....
@thomasroth4533
@thomasroth4533 Год назад
@@musiconrecord6724 Agree about the Takemitsu pieces. We only add some impressionistic fairy dust. I have the Ozawa in the big Boston Symphony box where it is coupled with the Mozart clarinet and bassoon concertos. Strange coupling but rather fun.

The theme by Sakamoto from the movie "Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence" is incredibly beautiful and my favorite recording is the one he did with David Sylvian on the latter's "Secrets of the Beehive" album where the song is called called "Forbidden Colours".
@musiconrecord6724
@musiconrecord6724 Год назад
It is indeed a gorgeous piece of music and runs like a thread throughout Sakamoto's solo career. There are numerous versions. I love that version on Beehive, with its typically distinctive vocal from Sylvian.

Another great seascape work is by Belgian composer Paul Gilson. "De Zee" actually predates Debussy's great work (which by chance, we are playing in orchestra next week!). The premier recording was made in 1987 for the Discover label and never on LP.

What a piece! Haven't listened to that Rattle recording in years..... I must confess to having mostly so-so feelings about Rattle's recordings, though live he has mostly been fantastic (especially a Beethoven 9th with the BPO at the Proms - one for the ages). Have you discovered the Mark Wigglesworth cycle on BIS - well worth exploring. Good for you having that Shostakovich box - I've had hours of happy listening from it.
