About LinkBacksHi Corno,
I did--I've been "auditioning" Messiaen's organ stuff, what I can find in the libraries, because I've been intrigued by the Complete Organ Works disc set on Amazon. I love his orchestral music and Vingt Regards.

Today I listened to the complete Vingt Regards by Messiaen.

Brahms Piano Concerto No.2 in B-flat major.
That's quite an act of stamina to get through the entire piece. I need to do that again soon. Thanks for the link--I've only seen some the Muraro segments of the piece. This one had interesting lighting to go along with the playing. The tempo is sligthly faster than the Hakon Austbo version I have, which is fine with me.Originally Posted by Corno Dolce
Listened today:
Schoenberg Quartet No. 3
Robert Simpson Symphony No. 3 and portions of No. 5
Hello Fretless,
There is another piece by a little known composer which has an approximate duration of 540 minutes - that, dear colleague, needs stamina with a capital S. I waiting for the typeset version of it - there is only the manuscript:

*If a man wants God to hear his prayer quickly, then before he prays for anything else, even his own soul, when he stands and stretches out his hands towards God, he must pray with all his heart for his enemies. Through this action God will hear everything that he asks* -Abba Zeno-
*Protagoras: "Truth is subjective. What is true for you, and what is true for me, is true for me. Your opinion is true by virtue of its being your opinion."
*Socrates: "My opinion is: Truth is absolute, not opinion, and that you are in absolute error. Since this is my opinion, then according to your philosophy you must grant that it is true."

Shostakovich's 5th Symphony
Shostakovich's 13th Symphony *Babi Yar*.
I love the opening of movement V--A Career. Haunting wind line and harmony.
Hi Fretless,
A recording of the 13th I wish I had was with Kirill Kondrashin conducting the Moscow Phil. and Vitaly Gromadski as bass vocalist on the old Melodiya label. Gromadski just stuns one in one's tracks.
Cheers,
Corno Dolce
