Re: La Tribune des Critiques de Disques: Schumann Fantasy

I don't think that there is any difference, really, between one "list"
and another. Each would have favourite performances. They missed out
more performances than I think I would have, but then they would have
disagreed!!!
So, I allow their list to stand and judge the consequences.
In the end Le Sage's Schumann Fantasy is a wonderful recording, as are

I think this is an inherent problem with this work: some like it played
'vulgar' - and if it's not played that way, the comment is: "underwhelmed'.
I actually should compare this recording with those by Norrington, Gardiner and
Minkowski. But I'm not sure I will do so.
In the fourth movement he is as slow as Norrington, in the last movement he is

I was trying to think of a way I could use infamous to describe a Ring
and I think I have found it. I would call the 1953 Allegro Royale
issue of the Wagner Ring "infamous" because it was a fraud - though
presented as soloists of the Dresden State Opera conducted by Fritz
Schreiber, it was actually a poorly made recording taped off the radio

Nobody cares. But it's a good alternative for posting you shit here.

Re: Download: Stock & the CSO - Schumann Spring Symphony Victor M-86 (1929)

Thanks for this timely reminder of Stock's musicianship, Bill. My dad
still has the black label HMV's of this set, and I used to play it as
a teenager, so it's one of the recordings that got me "into" historic
discs. Great to hear it again.

That's quite a list of recordings!
You mean the BBC disc with Annie Fischer? Is that live? Or do you mean
the EMI one? Or is there another one?
I didn't know Zhukov recorded it -- LP only? Or was it on CD
somewhere?
And the Austbo -- I would quite like to hear that, But dealers are
charging rip off prices.

Re: Respighi's Buccine

2010-03-21T07:53:53Z

The Italian edition of Respighi's biography by his wife Elsa went into
great detail about his comings and goings, and might just reveal
whether he went to those record sessions. The English language edition
of the book had about 50% of it omitted by the translator.
Unfortunately I no longer own a copy of that, but if anyone has the

Re: Immerseel - Symphonie Fantastique - no bells

Stokowski doubles the bells with a piano so you get both on his Phase
4 recording (London Records) as well as in the live performance of the
work that preceded it (BBC Legends). I just checked the Gramophone
archive review of the Phase 4 LP (June 1969) and the critic made no
comment on this doubling, though he does end up by saying that "this

Alexei Haieff 's String Quartet#1 is one of my favorite Alexei
Haieff's works.
I attended the premiere performance at Ojai, California in the Spring
of 1951 with Eudice Sharpiro as the First Violin. It was the American
Art Quartet which later that year played it at Los Angeles at the
County Museum and was broadcast over the air.
