Took some time away from Head-Fi and come back to a couple dozen new posts on this thread. I have plenty to listen to at work today.

I think that this is the first time that I've seen Pergolesi get any love outside of my music history classes. Another round of Russian "holiday" music.

I'll make time to listen to a staple of the repertoire like this. I own the Herbert von Karajan bluray with Seiji Ozawa conducting this and Anne-Sophie Mutter performing the solo, but it was a somewhat uninspiring performance. Technically, it was very clean, just not very fun. Dallas Wind...

Going for the trifecta.

Would like multiple times if I could. Dvorak is in my top 3 favorites, especially his 7th, 8th and 9th symphonies.

Reminds me a bit of Grainger.

Follow up to Mahler, Hans Rott might be one of the greatest unknown composers from the Romantic Era. Ridiculed by Brahms as having no talent he lost any self confidence, which is displayed by his lack of output. He was admired by Bruckner and Mahler, the latter having a good friendship...

I had a chance to study with this man when I went to UNT. He is pretty much the guy when it comes to Euphonium. Absolutely fantastic musician. Too bad I can't find any recordings of him from when he was in his prime.

Viola? You sir are a mad man.

That one takes me back to my college days. Performed that on my tuba.

Watched these a few weeks ago and have had the melodies stuck in my head. I was looking for the performance from the Mnozil Brass, the brass ensemble that I have posted on here before, but I could not find it.
