Any favorites for the first half of the year?
Today I get notice that someone replied to a thread on a site I haven't visited in years! Head-fi lives!
Janine Jansen is special.. got to check out Akiko Suwanai, she's been on my wish list waaay too long
Any favorites for the first half of the year?
Hello there Mr. (Ms.?) Christer. My lament is not so much about my post being neglected as it is about the thread being neglected.Maybe limping along might better describe it. Peace and listen in good health!!Don't despair!
Your posts are interesting and I have the conductors videos you posted on DVDs. But until the end of the BBC Proms season I am busy listening and re-listening to what currrent mainly young artists have to offer in the classical repertoire.
At least via headphones the SQ BBC Radio 3 streams are not bad and some of this year's performances are very good indeed imho.
A couple of favourites are Mozart's last Piano Concerto no27 and Currenthzis's Beethoven symphonies 2and 5,and Karena Kannelakis's concert with a brilliant performance of Beethoven's Coriolan Overture also available as a video just keep me to busy to post often here currently.
And Manze's Haydn London Symphony is a concert I have played more than 5 times since it was broadcast
The same goes for Debussy's magic Opera Pelléas and Mélisande which I have revisited quite a lot recently.
Cheers Christer
Hm, maybe there is a reason for that. The thread is just boring. Beethoven, Mahler, Mozart, Bach... etc. Over and over.Hello there Mr. (Ms.?) Christer. My lament is not so much about my post being neglected as it is about the thread being neglected.Maybe limping along might better describe it. Peace and listen in good health!!
Hm, so what? I just care what is relevant to me regarding the context.The reason many historically great recordings are such is they towered above their competition at the time they were relevant. And they are still relevant to many.
