    Karl Richter was awesome! I think I already posted him conducting Bach's St. Matthew's Passion.

    Today, I heard on the radio Schubert's Arpeggione Sonata, arranged for guitar and orchestra by the great guitarist John Williams. Very beautiful.

    Are there any other performances of his you'd recommend? Really enjoyed his version of cantata BWV 140.

    Also, is there a single version of Schubert's sonata that actually has an arpeggione?? :confused:

    Procession of the Nobles by Korsakov and Whispers to their Souls by Hazo are both my favorite pieces to listen to and play.

    I've been listening a lot to Liszt's symphonic poems lately. Mazeppa is my favourite, especially when performed by Mehta/BPO.

    Not quite classical, but Miles Davis's rendition of the Adagio from Rodrigo's Concierto de Aranjuez is really interesting, especially if you're familiar with Rodrigo.

    (and the traditional version for relevance)

    Here's one:

    And yes, there are versions with the arpeggione, but it is a very rare instrument.

    I've been listening to a lot of John Cage (most famous for 4'33"). While I find a lot of his experimental stuff just a little too removed from the pleasure of listening (being instead ghastly masterpieces of creation) there is one prepared piano sonata (his Sonata 5) I don't mind.

    But my favourite Cage is his In a Landscape, which is far more traditional (in the sense that he doesn't put screws in the piano strings, at least).

    I recently got back into flute playing after a break. I have a good teacher here in Seoul. I've been listening to Bach's flute sonatas. I'm currently playing the E flat sonata. The second movement has the famous Sicilienne. Ohhhh and Beethoven's 5th. Been listening to that too :slight_smile:

    I play flute, too! Bach is always great.

    Heard this Prokofiev piece last week. "The Love for Three Oranges"

    Must revive thread!

    Heard this nice piece by Smetana, "From Bohemia's Woods and Fields", part of his Ma Vlast series. The opening lines are beautiful.
