What Classical Music Are You Listening To Tonight?

Some Biber now.
I have SACDs that sound better.
But I do like this performance of the Rosary Sonatas:




(via Qobuz)

[Toccata]

Vivaldi - The Four Seasons with František Jiránek and the Ars Antiqua Austria [24-352 FLAC]

It might not be the most elegant presentation, but I love this version for what I'll call its darkness and body. I find this arrangement much more engaging than some of the more 'dainty' arrangements which end up being more background music than the focus of my attention.

Revisiting this to start the day.

This is a wonderful recording. Classics Today said of this recording,
“What makes Perahia so special, though, is his masterful application of the piano’s tone colors and dynamic contrasts to Bach’s music in a way that is at once personal and totally convincing. Artists as individually outstanding as Gould, Tureck, Koroliov, and Schiff have all found solutions that are equally valid, but none, I think, have ever made the music sound so naturally, joyously at home on the modern piano as has Perahia... Perahia has given us a recording for the ages, no doubt about it.”

I like that violinist's other recordings--will have to obtain this one!

Will be interesting and big fun I think.

I bet. Please report back.

These guys are amazing players. I think it's easier to follow the voices on the two guitars than with one keyboard.
