What Are You Listening To Now? - II

[Cockney Sparrow]

It certainly is. I wonder if it will ever be re-issued for Dvorak 'newcomers?' I rate it and Kertész as being the 'gold standard' in Dvorak complete symphony sets.

Its available on Amazon for about £16.

Arnold Schoenberg. String Quartets.

Lasalle Quartet. (With Margaret Price, op. 10)

This was a 4 cd DG set I found in the Salvation Army shop for £2.99 today. Alas, it's missing its booklet but still great value.

This was a 4 cd DG set I found in the Salvation Army shop for £2.99 today. Alas, it's missing its booklet but still great value.

Since it's 340 pages, I'm not inclined to offer to copy mine and send it to you, I'm afraid.

Still a bargain, as you say.

This evening:

Listening to my scores 164:

Vaughan Williams:
Symphony No 6 in E minor - study score
An Oxford Elegy - vocal score
The Sons of Light - vocal score

I was able to see a score on the 6th Symphony recently.
I couldn't possibly follow it while listening such is the effect of the music.
Just seeing the printed notes sent a shiver down my spine

It is certainly a deeply disturbing work ER as well as being tautly constructed. The genius of RVW as a symphonist for me is his ability to balance the intense emotional impact whilst maintaining absolute total control of the musical substance & structure.
