What classical music did you listen to today?

[Corno Dolce]

3rd Symphony by Anton Bruckner.

[Rod Corkin]

Today Handel's opera 'Flavio', by Jacobs and Ensemble 415. A reasonable effort, nicely recorded.

[Fretless]

One of the greatest symphonies the 8 of Bruckner.
Played by Gewandhouse and Herbert Blomstedt.

The cello theme in the slow movement is one of my favorite melodies of all time. I really like Blomstedt's Sibelius but haven't heard much else. I'll bet he does a fine job interpreting Bruckner.


Today--Martinu's Symphony 3 & 4. I'm amazed that Martinu doesn't get more recognition. His symphonies that I've heard so far are marvelous. Very melodic with really creative uses of dissonance and orchestration.

[Corno Dolce]

Elgar's organ works played by Thomas Murray at the Woolsey Hall Organ of Yale University.

[Rod Corkin]

Handel's "The Choice of Hercules". by jail-bird Robert King and his band. Adequate performance, indeed the only performance I think.

[Corno Dolce]

Bach's *Goldberg Variations* played by Jean Guillou on the organ at Notre-Dame des Neiges.

[Muza]

There are so many great pieces posted by everyone - I am very inspired to listen to every single one , too bad there is not enough time for that

Anyhow, the day started with Frederic Chopin, Fantasie

[Corno Dolce]

Chopin's Polonaise in A-flat major.

Glenn Gould, english suite no 6 by of course JS Bach. Then a difficult one - Valentin Silvestrov's 6th symphony on a fine ECM.
