Vivaldi: concertos (concerti con molti instrumenti) - titled "Il Mondo al rovescio".
with Amandine Beyer and Gli Incogniti, harmonia mundi 2022

Very nice. The "molti instrumenti" (or "molti strumenti") are mainly different woodwinds (including chalumeau, or salmoe), violins and sometimes a mandolin or horn or trumpet. The diversity makes this an agreeable program.
These concertos are not the most popular Vivaldi works, but they have been recorded before quite a few times. Some of these concertos by Biondi, Pinnock, Savall, Goltz and a few others. More complete by Spinosi and the Ensemble Matheus, on Arion (
disques Pierre Verany), on 2 disks - these are recommended for those who like more of this kind of concertos.

The subtitle of this disk "concerti con molti instrumenti" however is not correct. There are a few concertos for solo instruments like violin of flute, or a concerto for 2 oboes. The real concerti con molti instrumenti -- and nothing but concerti con
molti instrumenti -- can be found on the twofer by Spinosi and the Ensemble Matheus.

On the radio: Anne-Marie McDermott playing Mozart's Piano Concerto #16
in D, with the Odense Symphony Orchestra under Kenneth Montgomery.
McDermott plays with both weight and flexibility; I found her
performance quite impressive. The orchestra/conductor matched this,
although perhaps a bit too "free" in a few places. So far 4 CDs in
this series have been released on Bridge; the nine concerti have five
different conductors (this the only one with Montgomery). This seems
highky promising; Presto quotes some very favorable reviews of various
disks from ARG, Fanfare, etc.

On youtube (with conductor Sebastian Lang-Lessing, who seems quite solid):
K466 (i) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=48cIfr8M5Lg
K595 (i) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jjm9L_9gGz0
and at least several more movements I have not listened to.

Also an interview/demo with her from a year ago (focusing on Bach and Prokofiev) rather interesting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_LHYBgXg0OI

You seem to be listening to antique music most (all?) of the time!
Why not try some Richard Strauss? What's wrong with you, man?

Verdi. Falstaff. Glyndebourne 2009, streaming on Glyndebourne Encore. The only individual I've ever heard of connected with this performance is the conductor, Vladimir Jurowski, but it's brilliant. The action takes place in a small provincial town in the
Thames Valley ca. 1941 (there is a GI in the cast). Costumes and decor are wonderfully of the period. There is a painting of King George VI in Falstaff's tavern.

The production was later revived with Laurent Naouri as the portly person, despite being the wrong shape, unless he's put on a bit in recent years ...

Well, everybody here is free to write what he or she likes (according to that pool attendant), as long as it is about music played by HJ Lim of course.

Saturday night, Jeremy Denk in concert in New York: Schubert’s 4
impromptus; 3 short pieces by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, Blind Tom
Wiggins, and Scott Joplin; Rzewski’s Winnsboro Cotton Mill Blues;
Beethoven Op. 111.

One of the things I like about Denk is his thoughtfulness, as in not
doing things just because everyone else does them. At the end of
Op. 111 he had the audience in the palm of his hand (certainly me!) The
first thought that popped into my head after he finished was, “I hope he doesn’t play an encore, he should just let the mood sink in.” And
that’s what he did, even though the applause went on for a few minutes.
I don’t know for sure whether others in the audience felt the way I did,
but there were lots of people standing and applauding and not putting on
their coats; nobody shouted “encore!”

_The Basketweave Elegies_ by Peter Garland, a solo vibraphone cycle
performed by William Winant.

https://peteergarland-coldbluemusic.bandcamp.com/album/the-basketweave-elegies

A sort of study in consonance.... (Winant is very well-known in
some circles, but maybe not here. Garland was new to me. For those
who wonder, I did not "find" this on Bandcamp originally. It was
a promo from Naxos distribution.)

I've been continuing to go through my CD collection, to reacquaint
myself with the less common works.

I've now been listening to Varese - I'm not sure why he doesn't get a
lot of mentions these days. I particularly enjoy Arcana - my imprint
version was Martinon and the CSO, and I also listened to Chailly. But my favorite now is the earlier Boulez version with the NYP - this was the
era where he achieved clarity but also expressiveness, while his DG
remakes seem more routine.

And I tried to appreciate Weinberg - I listened several times to the
Chamber Symphony No. 1 - Misha Rachlevsky with the Kremlin Chamber
Orchestra.

The music seemed to be perfectly pleasant, but just not memorable. I've
seen Weinberg mentioned as one of the "Big 3" of Soviet music but not
sure yet about that...

I don't know whether it is lowbrow or highbrow, and folks may raise an
eyebrow about this, but I think the music from Candide is really great.
I've long enjoyed the suite from Candide by the Minnesota Orchestra
conducted by Eiji Oue, but I found another version that is even better: Orchestre Lamoureux with Yutaka Sado. It is just full of vigor and pizazz!

After reading a review of a Midori solo recital at Carnegie Hall I listened to John Zorn's Passagen, for violin solo - a wild twelve minute piece. Zorn is originally a saxophonist, a NY downtown composer and performer.
The violinist in this vid, Pauline Kim Harris is part of the violin duo String Noise.

New double album on Ondine of Schubert piano trios (+ Arpeggione
Sonata, etc.) by the Tetzlaffs & the late Lars Vogt....

Enjoying the Eb Trio so far... one of my favorite pieces.

I'd be interested in critical reactions, yours and others'. For completes, I have Florestan and Stuttgart, neither of which quite hit the spot for me. I've had limited exposure to Vogt; I saw him once in concert in a fairly intimate setting, and he
came across as mannered. Shouldn't generalize from a single night though.

The story behind completing the trio project is moving, and I wonder if the performances themselves convey it in some way.

Well I've continued to enjoy it. I read the notes too -- where the
Tetzlaffs talk about Vogt feeling unwell during the sessions, but
not having been diagnosed yet, how he felt the Eb Trio was a
big/summary sort of piece for him....

Anyway, they do talk about him being an emotional guy, so your reaction
is probably right....

I recently re-surveyed the Brahms trios (including inquring here),
and the Op.101 by this group was my favorite, so there's a clear
precdent in my case, and a similar sort of sound....

My reaction is quite positive, but it's only been a couple of
hearings.

The VOXBOX with the complete piano works by Saint-Saens. Performers Marylène Dosse and Annie Petit.
The sound leaves much to be desired but most performances are as easy to listen to as the music.

The études, at least some of them, sound far more modern than I expected from Duchable's and Piers Lane's versions.

Does anyone know Annie d'Arco's set?

I guess no one else is interested? Nothing obvious to hate,
perhaps....

Anyway, it's a bit of a "rough" performance (& I'm just talking
about the Eb here... liked the Op.99 performance well enough...
Arpeggione I'd probably prefer more like a song cycle...), but I
mean that in a good way. I've pretty much been resisting those
smooth, Schenkerian, mid-20th century interpretations my whole
life... not that I mean to condemn them, just that being born in
the 1960s (young for this group, I suppose...), I've always wanted
a different approach.... So I don't have old performances of any
of the big Schubert pieces that I really love.... Anyway, Vogt &
the Tetzlaffs... rough, bristling even, searing at times... tenderness
too.... Still enjoying it overall. If one is looking for ideal
fingerings or perfect articulation in every moment, there're things
to fault here, though.... (Bend but don't break?)

It gets to be way too easy to fault performances.... Anyway, it's
also true that there're undoubtedly hundreds or thousands of
performances of core repertory works such as this that I have not
heard, which is one reason I don't dive into a discussion of
individual performances with more enthusiasm. On the other hand,
I'm comfortable saying what I enjoy.

I've started to go systematically through the 8 CD's Kocsis recorded
of Bart�k piano music (about half-way so far). I'm impressed with
how consistently interesting the music is (much like anything else
by this composer), even the CD-length 80-piece "For Children" (new
to me). (The only work I can do without is he 14-minute "First term
at the piano", which is exactly as its title describes.) Soon:
Mikrokosmos, which I've not listened to much of in the past.

Available on an 8-CD Philips set and in the 26-CD Decca Kocsis Edition.

What also amazes me is how little I've encountered most of the
many great works in recitals.
