We have ways...

[Timothy Weir @TimothyGWeir]

A @classicstoday review prompted me to listen again to this 2018 Sudbin/Oramo/BBC Rachmaninoff 2nd on @BIS_records. "These are elegant, intelligent performances from a soloist who’s clearly thought about the music and knows how to get what he wants out of it," said Dave Hurwitz.

Ok, I think this will be my new Beethoven 5th symphony. That 4th movement IS very exciting, indeed.

Got this from a Dave Hurwitz video. Thanks, @classicstoday

Happy Birthday, Johannes Brahms!

Johannes Brahms, a true representative of German Romanticism, was born in Hamburg 193 years ago today

Just got the recent re-release of the complete symphonies of Rued Langgaard. It’s not SACD & is very affordable. Salute to DACAPO. I just started the box but this music is really good. Saw online @classicstoday review. Suggest video review of each symphony!

RIP.

Günter Pichler, primarius of the Alban Berg Quartet, died in a car crash at the spritely age of 85.

He could be famously difficult and was exacting, but by those who withstood this, he was beloved or at least admired. He helped set new standards for string quartet playing.

@ClassicalCritic Certainy one of the best over-all cycles available! https://t.co/d0ByJHQLm6

@classicstoday @ClassicalCritic @DGclassics @KarajanMusic It’s Goebel Archiv which also happens to be one of the great recordings of Baroque music.

[Semyon Bychkov @SemyonBychkov1]

A special message from Semyon Bychkov to all those who have purchased the earlier symphonies of his Mahler cycle with the Czech Philharmonic:

"My warmest thanks to those who have shared kind messages about the Mahler recordings... 1/3

Two new releases - Antonio Pappano & the London Symphony with The Planets coupled with Bax’s Tintagel.
And… fascinating Puccini release with John Wilson & the Sinfonia of London. We get early opera orchestral excerpts and student compositions. @classicstoday

@ClassicalCritic @WrStaatsoper @sonyclassical @SonyClassicalUK @KarajanMusic Maybe for German speakers. Otherwise, too much dialog!

[ClassicsToday @classicstoday]

@ClassicalCritic @DGclassics @KarajanMusic Solti is the answer, but yes, yes, Karajan is up there. You may pass.
