Originally posted by ahinton View Post"Lefty" things and "righty" things do not especially interest me, so I've no wish to frequent such fora as you mention. I alluded to certain political (and also non-political) aspects of Schmitt's conduct at certain points in his life merely to point up the fact that they seem to have so little to do with his actual music ("don't judge a book byt its covers", as in) and to suggest that such thinks might have backfired on his reputation to the disadvantage of some of his music. I did talk about the music - and I'll gladly do so more, to suggest that it feels almost like Fauré on amphetamines - and I commended this remarkable work to you and to anyone else who might be interested on the grounds of my belief that, at the time of its completion 110 years ago, it was one of the first piano quintets since Schumann's.

Leopold Stowkowski's Symphonic Synthesis on Wagner's Parsifal has just been played on Radio 3. I had forgotten what a marvelous tranascriber LS was! It was played by the Bournemouth SO, Jose Serebrer, which was equally amazing. I have the BBCPO/Slatkin recording which IMO, is very good as well.Last edited by BBMmk2; 25-02-18, 12:06.Don’t cry for me

Sergei PROKOFIEV
Cantata for the 20th Anniversary of the October Revolution
Ernst Senff Chor Berlin; Mitglieder des Luftwaffenmusikkorps Erfurt; Staatskapelle Weimar/Kirill Karabits
rec. live, 23 August 2017, Weimarhalle, Weimar
AUDITE 97.754
What a riot, and all for less than 5 euros (24/48 flacs) direct from Audite (thanks, HD!)
Prokofiev’s 1937 Cantata for the 20th Anniversary of the October Revolution sets – during the "Great Terror" – central texts by Marx, Engels, Lenin and Stalin on a gigantic choral and orchestral scale. Alongside military tumult and sonic euphoria, the score also offers three instrumental movements as moments of reflection. An exceptional historical document, music of the highest compositional level.
Must dig out that BBC MM cover-mount with Elder and the BBC SO & Chorus in blistering form (c/w DSCH Second Symphony).
