GerateWohl 4,369 Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 Right. I even think, mostly his tango nuevo pieces of his band have been widely arranged and adapted by classical musicians. Therefore, it is mostly like you say. But this concerto is to my knowledge an actual arrangement by Piazzolla. Jurassic Shark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Guernsey 2,284 Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 5 hours ago, publicist said: Great choice, absolutely love Bartok. Is this a recommendable performance? I have a number of them, but happy to have more Bartok! A World Requiem (John Foulds) - Probably a fairly obscure composer, but one whose stuff is well worth seeking out. Having said that, the World Requiem isn't perhaps his most idiomatic work, but a fine secular requiem that stands well as a companion to Britten's War Requiem, even if it's not quite up to the Britten. However, I would more highly recommend Fould's Dynamic Triptych and Three Mantras which are vibrant orchestral works. Currently on Frank Bridge Orchestral Works (volume 3 from the Chandos series). Not a composer I know well but enjoying exploring. The mini piano concerto Phantasm is especially fine. karelm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting - that's not Carmen! At least the second part is L'Arlesienne, but not the familiar suite version, so I suppose it's the original incidental music, and the first part might also be from there? Here's the suite version for comparison: Loert 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marian Schedenig 8,193 Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 And Karajan wasn't really (at all) concerned with historically informed performances. Plus quite a bit of old music *was* loud and big (within the possibilities at the time), so the choice might just be between Romantically loud & big or historically accurately loud & big.

bollemanneke 3,348 Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 Today I heard part of Handel's Water Music. I knew this work inside out, I thought, until the Musiciens Du Louvre started performing it , conducted by Mark Minkowski. Never heard it performed so well. This man understands how you make baroque music interesting and actually makes all the repetitions worth your time. Ordering it in a few days.

Minkowski's recording is indeed good, but to my ears there's several better recordings out there. What do you think about McGegan's Philharmonia recording? Possibly my No. 1 choice.

bollemanneke 3,348 Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 I found it to be rather dry. What's mainly drawing me to Minkowski is that he genuinely does interesting stuff with the repetitions. Like, he replaces the completely useless da capo of track 3 with the variation that 90% of people refuse to include in their version for some idiotic reason.

I'll have to check that out. Many of the various sources for Water Music are notoriously unreliable (there's no original manuscript), so that's probably the reason this particular variation is seldom performed.
