I feel like RVW was reaching for something with this piece that he didn't quite find.

Whimsical yet with darker moments.

Barber is not a composer for whom I have much patience - his works are technically superb and prove traditional tonality remained valid during the latter half of the 20th century but most of his works simply are not my kind of music - however, I make a welcome exception for this piece which is superb! Thank you for making it available. I have already ordered a copy of the CD.

En mi humilde opinión esta es la mejor interpretación de Palillos y Panderetas

The overture to Das Modell is magnificent! Von Suppé out did himself, saving his best for last.

io ho la versione per chitarra forse attribuita a Mauro Giuliani.

This remains the best recording of one of Tippett's undoubtedly great works, yet the Davis version is out of print. We all know that Tippett's reputation fell into the doldrums not long after his death but Davis did not conduct rubbish and was a huge champion of the composer. Certainly, Tippett's operas after 'King Priam' were embarrassingly 'trendy' while missing the mark by miles and there some were dud works bound up with confused ideologies the composer never intellectually grasped. This could make him tiresome while he chased fame. However, he was a superb composer when he followed his profound musicality and people, now young, will realise what half a generation missed. The 2nd symphony was admittedly difficult to play [see the Boult YTube video] but Tippett accepted tips from his old mentor and, later, Colin Davis. Few know that Boult had young Tippett on the podium with him as a student to help him decide whether to go for conducting or composing. Boult, Britten, Vaughan Williams and Walton all said that he was a composer at heart and they were damned right. Actually, Tippett was a good conductor of small choirs and student orchestras but not at ease with experienced orchestras. He "knew his place". This relatively complex symphony of the mid-1950s manages to sound English and not English in one go and has massive energy within a stock solid architecture and the masterpiece grew out of some effects Tippett had studied in the concerti grossi of Corelli. Oak trees from little acorns grow.

Thank you once more Rodders. Bonynge accomplished a lot and this recording exposes the arrangement by John Lanchbery which included a sequence from "Véronique". I suppose that the original version may be lurking somewhere for someone to discover. Messager made an abridgement in 1906 which he brought to London. The Royal Ballet d.v.d. is on Sky Arts television early in the morning fairly frequently, in a double-bill with Rachmaninov. There are two delightful trained pigeons and I remember at the old Sadler's Wells Theatre in North London when I met the lady in charge of them, at balcony level. She managed to find one under the ceiling.

Same characteristic passion/feeling even here. 🤗

I can't help but think this soundtrack inspired the music for the 87 TV show "Beauty and the Beasts" ❤🌹

Best guitar conterto I've heard in a long time.....from a guitarist of 69 year playing for 55 years.

Mark Mothersbaugh from Devo sent me.

Bravo, to the composer, the conductor, and the orchestra.

I LOVE this ballet! Thank you for the music.

Я беру для игры.

Very John Fouldsesque

Awesome!!!❤❤❤

Just love it

This is magnificent compared with the funerial durge that is the British anthem.

Heard this piece as the introduction to David Nicholls audio on BBC Radio4. Beautiful.

Meravigliosa, poetica. Splendida orchestrazione di Respighi, come sempre.

he never really speaks to me - my problem - so often can seem a self-parody and occasionally too easy to predict

Villanesca ❤

I have the same box in my music collection. Beautiful music from this Danish composer and the performances are great and brilliant ❤👍

I am hoping after listening to it a few dozen times perhaps it might start to make sense to me !!

These orchestral suites were not much available when I was growing up. I had the good fortune of finding a recording of No. 3 which I loved. But had never heard No. 1 until today and I'm quite impressed. That opening introduction has some things that sound decades ahead of their time and so powerful. You can hear in the sound world the perhaps the last remnants of that early/middle style that brought us Swan Lake and the 4th symphony. It seems poised somewhere between a symphony and a ballet suite.

Great Ballet and wonderful composer

Love me some Arnold 👍

Какая прелесть эта увертюра! Это Римский-Корсаков. Его музыка меня всегда волнует.Спасибо, маэстро Светланов, хорошая работа! ❤

Римский-Корсаков. Хрупкая прозрачная музыка. Полутона, нежные краски, вдруг - яркий колорит. Оркестр под управление Светланова очень хорош.

Quelle belle découverte ! Mille mercis à Rodders !!

Very beautiful and interesting ✨️🎶✨️

Великолепный Евгений Светланов! Один из самых-самых моих любимых дирижёров. Музыка Римского-Корсакова никогда не оставляет меня равнодушной. А когда за дирижёрским пультом Светланов остаётся только наслаждаться. Спасибо!

Masterful symphony! It really makes me want to explore all of her extant repertoire…

Nice collection. Thanks for putting it together. How about a collection of Boleros or of Fandangos. (hint: Soler, Sierra, Boccherini, Scarlatti, Alpert)

Splendid three-piece suite with vibrant contrasts which never fail to capture the listener's interest.
