I decided to take my current exploration of early music as far back as I plan on going, right to Hildegard von Bingen. Medieval music is quite old enough for me, almost assuredly, as I have no real interest in listening to how people think the Romans may have listened to music. I

This has to be my favorite post on here. I am a great lover of all the standard classics and still listen to them often. But I am always looking for new listening experiences and this post has been a great source of new listening experiences to try.I have made several new purchases of new composers music based on recommendations on here. Please keep them coming, if I have anything I think is of value I will post it. Thanks.
Having enjoyed all of the recordings of music by Ahmed Adnan Saygun, I figured I could go for another one, and I settled on a CPO disc devoted to his Third and Fifth Symphonies. It

Clair de Lune is one of my favourites, and - again IMO - it's at least as good as the classic piano versions.
On this CD there's pieces by Faure, Tournier, Salzedo, Marescotti, Tchaikovsky, Spohr, Grandjany and de Falla as well.
jesus. id have to turn that cd cover around backwards. frightening.
Goes to show that nobody have the whole package!

Albert Roussel is one of those composers I
Where have you been all my life? I pondered this question, not exactly seriously, while listening to another disc of music by Roussel conducted by Mr Eschenbach. This disc, with the large-scale, serious symphony, and two suites from Bacchus et Ariane, made for a perfect follow-up to the prior disc of Roussel
Whilst browsing a local used LP hut, I stumbled upon a CBS recording by Robert Casadesus that I didn

I haven't heard Tryptyque. It would be worth the price of the disk just to hear it.
