Rachmaninoff: Liturgy of Saint John Chrysostom - Estonian Philharmonic chamber choir, Kasparov Putnins
BIS
The October thread was one of the longest in recent memory. Let's keep
it going.
Thanks, Oscar for starting this month's thread.I don't have too much time for listening or posting, so I hope to chime in this thread with stuff I have been listening to going back to July.
"America": 20th century American choral music, performed (of course) by non-Americans: the SWR Vokalensemble, Stuttgart, directed by
Marcus Creed. Label: SWR/Hänssler. recorded 2013.
Works included:
Copland - Four Motets
Reich - Proverb
Cage - Five
Feldman - The Rothko Chapel
Bernstein - Missa Brevis
Barber - A Stopwatch and an Ordnance Map
The Copland and Cage are purely a capella; the othes include some percussion,
and the Feldman viola and keyboard(s) too. By far the most substantial
and (to me) most fascinating work is the Feldman. I would also put in
a particular word for Barber's effective dirge and for Bernstein's late conservative Missa Brevis, the latter of which is very well-crafted and features very effective use of bells and drums to support the vocalists.
The Copland is an attractive but not all-that-interesting student work; I have mixed feelings about the Reich and Cage.
The performers seemed quite effective; I would especially single out the violist (Andra Darzins) in the Feldman and the countertenor (Franz Vitzthum) in the Bernstein. (I have no idea if the Cage, which allows a great deal
of freedom, was at all idiomatically performed.)
I am not familiar with other recordings (and, indeed, the majority of the works were new to me), but I think it safe to recommend this CD.

Something more substantive, a concerto by Jean Wiener:

I've been stuck at home due to illness, so in addition to pestering
people with long posts, I've been revisiting old favorites and exploring
new works.
Thanks to a recent RMCR thread on Scriabin's piano Sonata no. 5 I
discovered this fantastic work - it packs enormous beauty and excitement
into 10 minutes or so - absolutely phenomenal!
I started with a Horowitz performance which was sitting on my shelves in
a Sony Original Jackets Horowitz box unplayed for years. That box seems
to be available on Amazon or the single Scriabin "RCA" CD is here: https://www.amazon.com/Horowitz-Plays-Scriabin-Alexander/dp/B000003EOZ
There is also a different Sony Original Jackets Horowitz box which has
the Scriabin album which was originally on Columbia: https://music.apple.com/us/album/the-original-jacket-collection-vladimir-horowitz/345674796
This includes 10 albums of prime Horowitz and can be downloaded from
Apple for $10! Based on good advice here (I assume) I also downloaded Sofronitsky performances here: https://www.prestomusic.com/classical/products/8604503--scriabine-sonates-pour-piano-les-indispensables-de-diapason
As a contrast to Scriabin, I've been listening to a Hilde Gueden
operatic aria album: https://www.amazon.com/Sings-Songs-Lehar-VARIOUS-ARTISTS/dp/B00000C3R4/ref=sr_1_1?crid=E3JR34ZFVTRP&keywords=hilde+guden&qid=1668419580&sprefix=hilde+guden%2Caps%2C106&sr=8-1
This includes Kalman, Lehar, Fall, Stolz as well as Korngold - and Charpentier! Hilde is very lively but not in perfect voice, and the
orchestra and chorus tends to be overpowering. Still it is very
enjoyable, particularly the famous "Nun's Chorus" which was arranged by Benatzky from scraps of Johann Strauss music.

If you like that kind of music, you might wish to see if the contents of the following lp has been issued on cd. Fredericke Sailer is an overlooked, underrated and neglected soprano:
https://www.discogs.com/release/12292169-Fritz-Wunderlich-Friederike-Sailer-Songs-From-Viennese-Operettas
Brahms String Quintets: #1 in F (Op. 88) and #2 in G (Op.111).
Boston Symphony Chamber Players: Joseph Silverstein and Max Hobart (violins),
Burton Fine and Patricia McCarty (violas), Jules Eskin (cello), recorded
in 1982 for Nonesuch (and hence not in the recent BSO players box set).
I also listened to the 1937 Budapest Quartet (with Alfred Hobday, viola) performance of #1.
Like all of the chamber music Brahms allowed to survive, these are
great works, and like the sextets very accessible. I came late to them, but better late than never. The Boston group is wonderful in the first
movement of #1, with a beautifully blended sound, yet bringing out the individual lines when needed. The mostly-slow second movement also
sounds fine to me, but the finale is perhaps a bit overly-emphatic.
The Budapest, in less good sound, disappoints in the opening by omitting
the exposition repeat (standard chamber music practice, I think, in the 1930's, and are generally less smooth than the Bostons - while still attractive. But I really love their other movements: the Grave second
has their hallmark intensity, and the finale has a grace which I find just right.
I have no signficiant reservations about the Boston #2. Their first
movement is joyous, their superb second both lyrical and dramatic. And so on. (I did not listen to comparisons, and I admit not being all that familiar with this work.) I certainly recommend their disk.
The October thread was one of the longest in recent memory. Let's keep it going.

https://www.discogs.com/release/12292169-Fritz-Wunderlich-Friederike-Sailer-Songs-From-Viennese-OperettasThanks, Greg, for the suggestion. The name Friederike Sailer was
somewhat familiar to me, and then, amazingly enough it occurred to me
that I had recently listened to her! She appears on the Fritz Werner
version of Bach's cantata no. 26, one that has been a favorite recording
of mine ever since I had the MHS LP years ago.
In my defense I checked and see that she sings for only 51 seconds - but does a fine job! Also, as a Szellot in good standing I have Szell's
Salzburg performance of Magic Flute and she has a weightier part - First Lady...
I do enjoy what is called Operetta and am NotSure why it is considered
by some to be a lesser art form. Sullivan, Lehar, and J. Strauss in
their best work have created masterpieces - and Offenbach was the
greatest of all (not sure about Dostal...)
I did a quick search for Friederike Sailer recordings and found this: https://www.prestomusic.com/classical/products/8723529--beliebte-operettenmelodien

the Budapest String Quartet on a 2-CD Biddulph set, LAB-120, transerred
by Ward Marston. The set includes the two String Quintets, String
Quartets 2 znd 3, and the second String Sextet. So far as I can tell
from dates in a Budapest discigraphy, the lineup for the first four works
was Joseph Roisman, Alexander Schneider, Istvan Ipolyi, and Mischa
Schneider; fo the Sextet (which I have not listened to), violist Ipolyi
had been succeeded by Boris Kroyt.
Who said Brahms
in his last years was necessarily autumnal?

on a Urania LP. Just a few months ago I listened again - but I never had
a libretto. I looked online for one, but this work has been so
shamefully treated that the online libretti didn't match the performance.
In the end I bought the Laurent Pelly/Minkowski DVD to get subtitles at least. I hesitated since the production appeared to be Eurotrash -
soldiers gassed coming back to life, a cabinet full of skulls, etc - but this all seemed only a small part of the production and the acting was splendid.
Particularly Felicity Lott - the role was really meant for a young
woman, but Flott made it work. Comedy is hard and the cast had the right tone. and the singing was fine.

I think you may be right that he doesn't beat

this a little more (and listen a little more) -

I will not listen to HJ Lim again in Brahms, sorry.
I really did try (maybe I will listen to the 4th movement
