#morninglistening to the PanochaQuartet in some #Dvořák from this excellent set on supraphon_classics. Such good music that, even though you know it is, it'll still surprise you. Amzn: amzn.to/4o2HRBt

Leider-Lieder-#Weidringer [TM] w/ Malcolm Martineau & Patricia Nolz at the Musikverein Wien w/Alma, her lovers, and Schumann

Our latest #ClassicalDiscoveries podcast has landed: ARIBERT REIMANN: Unlocking Modern Music ...in which two ignoramuses try to see how (and why) to bother with contemporary "difficult" classical music. youtu.be/tbQXZYQBJy4?...

Endtimes #Weidringer [TM] for the albanbergensemble in Mozart & Messiaen at the beautiful Schubert-Saal

#morninglistening to KarlBöhm in Strauss. The Heldenleben here isn't actual that great, but this disc is one of the few to feature the Festive Prelude, written for the opening of the @wienerkonzerthaus in 1913. An endless climax of Straussisms. Amzn: amzn.to/4wR37hm

#morninglistening to the #Shostakovich Cycle that did everything right: @pacificaquartet On Cedillerecords. Playing, coupling, sound quality... 😽💯 DSCH SQ4t Cycle Survey: https:// ionarts.blogspot.com/2018/10/a-surv ey-of-shostakovich-string-quartet.html

Foursome #Weidringer [TM] for the Supraphon stars, the excellent Pavel Haas Quartet

#morninglistening to AlfredBrendel's handpicked live performances of Schubert D575, 894, 959 & 960 from Frankfurt, Amsterdam, Snape, London. A lovely-if-subtle addition to the Schubert-discography. Amzn: amzn.to/4nPBDV6

#morninglistening to #SviatoslavRichter in #Prokofiev PianoSonatas. Is it strange that I have never particularly cared for Richter in almost anything, except Prokofiev? Of you took him out of my collection elsewhere, I probably wouldn't notice or care. 😮😇 Amzn: amzn.to/4tUsMmG

Mixed feelings about the evening, expressed in @diepressecom.bsky.social Musikverein: Alte Klagelaute von Ian Bostridge und Europa Galante Der englische Tenor und das italienische Ensemble mit Musik von der Wende zwischen Renaissance und Barock... www.diepresse.com/25897793/mus...

#morninglistening to YoYoMa's third (and last) recording of the #JSBach CelloSuites from 2018, after previous goes at them in 1983 & 1997. "Six Evolutions", as he or @sonyclassical.bsky.social put it. Only wispelweypieter recorded them as often, I think. Amzn: amzn.to/4tQqogE

Gallant #Weidringer [TM] for Ian Bostridge & EuropaGalante at the Musikverein Wien.

Gallant #Weidringer [TM] for Ian Bostridge & EuropaGalante at the Musikverein Wien.

End-of-Time #Weidringer [TM] for Messiane, Berg, Ravel & Carter w/Widman-Faust-Queyras-Aimard. Woha!

Unanswered #Weidringer [TM] for the ORF Radio-Symphonieorchester Wien - RSO Wien & ThomasAdès & Nicolas Altstaedt and, wait for it, Dénes Várjon. Kurtág, Ives, Adès, Tchaikovsky [sic]

She's a good'un! Relationships of the Board of Governors and the musicians might still be strained, after the kerfuffle with Esa-Pekka, but Elim Chan has all the makings of a successful MD for the SFSO.

#morninglistening to a newish release of the @TrioPantoum in Ravel and the excellent Arensky Trio on ladolcevoltaEmojis, Likes and Ringtones"; he also wrote the opera "Southpole") is 8 minutes of fun. Amzn: amzn.to/3PTYH8M

#Bachstiftung singalong & "Bild-your-own-Cantata" For @diepressecom.bsky.social www.diepresse.com/24943248/kon...

Latest for @diepressecom.bsky.social: AndrisNelsons, Yulianna Avdeeva & the GewandhausOrchestra at the Musikverein in Rach2 & DSCH10. Woha! www.diepresse.com/24709127/mus...

From-Switzerland-with-BACH #Weidringer [TM] at the Wiener Konzerthaus for the J. S. Bach-Stiftung Cantata evening.

#morninglistening to the quatuor_diotima's latest on @pentatonemusic.bsky.social the late #Beethoven #StringQuartets on one what would appear is the quartet's opening impressive shot of their own cycle. (See the LvBSQ4tCycle-survey!) Amzn: amzn.to/4ugt6Nt

Review to go with the picture -- for @diepressecom.bsky.social diepresse.com/24208150/beg... (Clicks keep us in business)

#morninglistening to the @chicagosymphony under [mutter-under-breath] JamesLevine on DG in the most blazing, take-no-prisoners #Prokofiev 5th Symphony. Amzn: amzn.to/42FAsy4 Check out the Prokofiev Symphony Cycle Survey on ionarts!

#morninglistening to #AndréPrevin's 1991 Vienna (but not very Viennese) #Fledermaus, w/Dame Kiri as the Amero-Hungarian Rosalinde, Gruberova, Brendel, and the Fassbaender-Orlovsky that Kleiber was missing. A bit stately, a bit self-aware. Amzn: amzn.to/4tE8ugY

#morninglistening to what's arguably the most delicious #HänselUndGretel recording, thanks to the great #JeffreyTate, a superbly dramatic BRSO & a stellar cast. Yumm! I dare you to take a big bite and hear for yourself. It's Humperdinck-deliciousness. amzn.to/4uXEyh6

#morninglistening to #CarlosKleiber's magical #Fledermaus, which I was about to defend for the controversial casting of Rebroff as Orlofsky. Nowadays a countertenor would be logical even. A touch of the comedic. Foreign. Isolated. Gay. But the result, a few minutes in... Amzn: amzn.to/4nzWYlu

#morninglistening to a #GustavMahler 2nd from Basel in what may or may not be a new cycle (desperately needed) w/#MarkusPoschner, W.Lehmkuhl, N.Hillebrand & @sinfonieorchesterbasel on Prospero. Gorgeously packaged, lavish booklet. Amzn: amzn.to/4dnzM6J #Mahler #symphonies

#morninglistening to Bizet's #LesPecheursDePerles, his two-hit opera, perf. for the 1st (!) time at the @wienerstaatsoper last night. (My review on @opermagazin.bsky.social) Anzn: amzn.to/4vb4iH1 #GeorgesBizet keeps me bizet!

#morninglistening to Bach cantatas from bachstiftung & #RudolfLutz who will perform at the wienerkonzerthaus on Tuesday! Vol.51 is one of the best yet, w/ glorious BWV149, indelibly dancing BWV88 & 148. Oh, the singers! Amazon: amzn.to/4mBeLIl

Oyster #Weidringer [TM] at the Wiener Staatsoper for Les Pêscheurs de Perles. I guess I'll be bizet for the next few hours...

#morninglistening to #NinoRota's piano concertos w/the teatroallascala orchestra, RiccardoMuti, who always does Rota well, and GiorgiaTomassi on EMI. Sort of Prokofiev-meets-Gattopardo. Amzn: amzn.to/4nvSnRk

#morninglistening to underrated #ErnestBloch's ConcertoSymphonique w/MajorieMitchell, VladimirGolschmann & the WienerStaatsoper orchestra on an adventurous Vanguard classic. Very fine music, indeed.

Latest for @diepressecom.bsky.social Musikverein/Jeunesse: Brillanter, gar nicht verhagelter Dvořák Auch der zweite Wien-Auftritt der Geigerin Maria Ioudenitch in zwei Wochen wurde zum großen Erfolg – diesmal mit den Baslern unter Markus Poschner. www.diepresse.com/23601514/mus...

#morninglistening to #WAMozart's LaClemenzaDiTito, live from @theatre_champs_elysees w/ @lecercledelharmonie & JérémieRhorer on @alpha_classics, which had been a celebrated production and has some very lovely moments in it. Amzn: amzn.to/4dio0sG
