I ask this with the hope that many of you may mention works that I do
not know before or never had a chance to explore yet so that I can
start to explore them.
Whenever you want to induce yourself some peace of mind, what works do
you frequently listen to? For me, these are the ones :
- The Lark Ascending - among many performances I have, I prefer the
one by Hugh Bean and London Symphony (?) under Boult on EMI
- Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis - the performance by Sinfonia
of London under Barbirolli on EMI GROC is my most favorite
- Works by Arvo Part on an EMI Music for Pleasure CD by Tasmin Little
with Bournemouth Sinfonetta under Studt - Frates, Spigel im Sigle, a
work dedicated to Benjamin Britten.
- The fisrt movement of Mahler's Symphony no.9 by Berlin Philharmonic
under Barbirolli on EMI GROC. I listened to this for the fisrt time
4-5 years ago on a cool evening with light rain and I was deeply
impressed at once.
- The first movement of Glazunov's Symphony no.4 by Royal Philharmonic
under Yondani Butt on ASV. I hope that this work would be recorded
more than it has been.
- Respighi's Ancient Airs and Dances Suite 3 for strings. I like the performance by ASMF under Marriner on Philips (coupled with other
works, not suite 1 and 2). The one by Marriner with LA Chamber on EMI
does not work out well for me becaue it sounds too rush. Nor does the
one by Lopez-Cobos on Telarc (but its suite 1 and 2 are great for
me).
- Mozart's Clarinet Quintet. I like many recordings. The entire work
invokes an image of a pleasant stroll in a lush garden.
How about yours?
