On a warm night here, this seems just right...  A clip can be heard here. |

Symphonies of J.P.E Hartmann
A Dane. Interesting stuff. There's something to the idea of a 'Nordic' school, but I can't put my finger on it for the life of me.

I have the disc of 4 & 7, bbm, and was pleasantly surprised by the music, which seemed to me to contain elements of Brahms and Mendelssohn. Spinning now, a disc of songs from RVW operas. I don't know Hugh the Drover, but the songs are most attractive.  |

Yes IGI, the music of Stanford is not generally played all that often, especially the Proms seem to neglect this composer amongst others to. Certainly Brahms was a major influence and Mendelssohnn to. Great composer from this country of ours from the pre-Elgar era. Roger Wright, come on chap!! Include some of this compsoers music in the Proms soon!!! |

Brahms Piano concerto #1 in D m inor(Emil Gilels/BerlinerPhilharmoniker/Jochum). What a performance of this monster of a concerto. One of the best? If not the best?

Now spinning, full volume on me cordless headphones, singing along to Rachmaninov's Francesca da Rimini, a suitable dark, Gothic swirling piece for a dark afternoon with spine tingling bass profundo. Wonderful!

It's a quote from the libretto (actually it's incorrect: it should be 'The soil is now ready for a new child'). I forget how much I enjoy this opera. |
