What Are You Listening To Now? - II

[Lat-Literal]

There's too much to wade through, it takes forever. I often give up half way through. It's a shame.

Yes.

The thread is in its own self-contained section of "Talking About Music" to which presumably a second one could be added. With the two in that section, there would be no risk of not being able to find the first thread as it would be alongside it rather than slipping down the TAM page. There may be a wider point about the search facility. When I type in something like "Lilburn", I do not necessarily locate the key posts but rather it's the threads in which "Lilburn" was mentioned. If they are long threads, that can be a challenge.

Sorry - is this Thread to tell people what we've been listening to, or to discuss whether we need a new Thread to talk about what we've been listening to to replace the older one?

If the former:

Today (to commemorate the 25th Anniversary of the death of Leonard Bernstein)

Mahler Symphony Number 6 in A minor (1904 version); NYPO/Bernstein. (CBS/SONY)

Just watched Die Berliner Philharmoniker under Sir Simon playing Beethoven 8 & 6 in the Digital Concert Hall. Fantastic playing from the orchestra but I'm still not convinced the Viennese Classics are Rattle's forte. The second movement of the Pastoral seemed interminable.

It's a bit like looking at the workings of a fabulous Swiss watch without learning what the time is.

What I was questioning was why you feel like that.

Lat's suggestion makes a lot of sense and doesn't pose a problem for your OP.

Vaughan Williams symphony no. 6 from a BBC music magazine that I now longer have the info. for. The disc has been sitting on the window sill and has been bleached by the sun! It still plays but the writing is so faded now I can't read it.

Very good performance though.

Many thanks.

I was so enthralled by Trevor Pinnock's Haydn series that I ordered his complete Mozart. The Haydn features some really unbuttoned playing with whooping horns, punchy tympani and other felicities.. The Mozart set so far seems more restrained so I am a tad disappointed but it is still first rate. My other historically informed set is Hogwood and I have enjoyed it but I think it will be Pinnock for me in the future.

I had a similar experience, I bought both the Haydn and Mozart sets last year. However, on further listening, the Pinnock Mozart really grew on me.

Of the other Mozart periodish performances that I have, I quite like the Hogwood/AoAM.
