[Sybarite]

Beethoven's Sonata No15 in D (Pastoral), sonata No3 in C, Sonata No24 in F sharp and Sonata No30 in E – live this evening at the Royal Festival hall in London, played by Daniel Barenboim.

Stunningly, wonderfully good. The best live classical performance that I have had the privilege of experiencing.

[Corno Dolce]

Hi Sybarite,

Good to see you posting again. I trust that you had a wonderful time where you were.

Back on topic: "Ein Alpensymphonie" by Richard Strauss.

[Kromme]

Moonlight sonata by Beethoven played by Wilhelm Kempff.Kempff makes a couple of mistakes in the last movement(The guy had Parkinson's disease after all).However it still is the best performance i have ever heard.By far the most expressive.

[Sybarite]

Hi Sybarite,

Good to see you posting again. I trust that you had a wonderful time where you were...

Many thanks, Corno Dolce – and yes, I most certainly did. It was a wonderful experience.

On topic – I travelled to work this morning with the sound of Beethoven's 5th piano concerto in my ears – Mitsuko Uchida, Kurt Sanderling and the Amsterdam Concertgebouw Orchestra.

J. Haydn - Suprise Symphony

J.S Bach - Brandenburg Concert No.5 in D major BWV1050

[intet_at_tabe]

Sir Frederik Magle and Corno Dolce (teaching job for you CD towards me )

Finally, I got "The Infinite Second" where you improvise and record in the Riga Cathedral, built in 1215-26 performing on an organ built by E.F. Walcker in 1882-83.

Wow Sir Fredrik , that must have been awesome and also recording with a symphony orchestra.

The organ has 124 registers, 144 ranks (the one in my local church has 24 ranks) and 6718 pipes and finally 18 fixed combinations and General Crescendo.

In fact it´s great music. Very different from what I have ever heard before, however one organ player strikes me. Captain Nemo from the Jules Verne novel/movie (Ha-ha), he had a great organ too. But nothing compared to this one in Riga, the largest in the world in 1884.

Great organ Sir Frederik, I am realy satisfied that I took the chance to listen to this awesome album However something is wrong with my typing.

Meistro Corno Dolce HELP!!

[Krummhorn]

Last night ... live performance of the St. Olaf Choir (touring from Minnesota). One of the finest college choirs in the US. A splendid performance.

[Corno Dolce]

Hi Intet,

What help do you need? I know you're not drowning because otherwise I would already have pulled you out of the swirling masses of water.

Cheers,

CD
