I love Arvo Pärt.
Today's choice is Sofia Gubaidulina: Complete Works for solo piano (Marcela Roggeri, piano).

Great choice. Why not this madness as well: Hannigan & GSO - LIGETI Mysteries of the Macabre

Well, it makes sense having a dominatrix looking conductor.
I have the Ligeti Project Teldec box (5CD), but I've only listened to 2 CDs thus far...
Nothing of the kind but I recently discovered David Matthews. His complete Piano Trios are brilliant (source: Spotify).
Teresa Berganza, Narciso Yepes & Félix Lavilla - Canciones Españolas (Spanish Songs), Deutsche Grammophon (2CD)
I can't flaw it, I like at first listen. Assertive but not pacy, a fluxus of rich harmonic layers, even joyful. Which makes a more civilized and endearing listen compared to the stop'n'go dynamics of Richter. He plows through Schubert like Yngwie Malmsteen covers Van Halen. *biggrin* Lewis makes me want to sing along and hum the melody, without headbanging.

D894 is my favourite of the sonatas. My preferred CD is Arcadi Volodos, both the playing and the sound. Luminous is a good way to describe it. PL is very interesting in Beethoven, and the Brendel influence is apparent at times.CnoEvil said:
I do have a cassette I copied from a Radio 3 about 25 years ago of Pollini live and that was my fave for years, far better than his studio recording.

Yes, she was superb. I can understand most of those lyrics but what's striking are those songs written in Galician-Portuguese in the 13th century by Alfonso X. The language is very much close to the one we talk nowadays. Most of the lyrics are understandable.
On the Schubert matter I love W. Kempff.
Yesterday I bought a bunch of CDs here in Prague (holidays).
- Now playing one of those albums on Spotify: Martinů - The Complete Piano Trios (Smetana Trio). Excellent!
I'll hit the Supraphon shop again tomorrow

I like the abundance of allegro. *good* Excellent trio.
I'm listening to Jenufa by Janacek, rather nice. His Sinfonietta and Glagolitic Mass are as good. A bit too modern for some of you I fear. I recently discovered the symphonies of Vaughan Williams, quite different from the East European stuff I tend to prefer, but very English and rather good.
All hail Sofia Gubaidulina. Those records are nothing short of amazing. I love Hommage à TS Eliot.
Janacek was one of my choices for today's roadtrip: String Quartets (Panocha Quartet). So, not too modern for me!
I also listened to Dvorak - Piano Trios 3 & 4 (Smetana Trio - again. These guys are great!)
