Whats on your turntable tonight?

Pergolesi's Stabat Mater performed by the Czech Philharmonic Chorus. Dark, emotional and beautiful. The record is old, worn, and noisy and some spots are quite noisy but the music shines through. Goose bumps and tears guaranteed.

Thanks for prompting me to pull out the Bloch Hebraic Suite and the Pergolesi Stabat Mater, T_Bone and Nick_sr. I haven't listened to these pieces for many years, and they are both lovely. I'll enjoy them later today.

Rushton,
I can recommend the Hebraic Rhapsody for Cello and Orchestra on the New York Album (an album put out when Yo-Yo Ma toured with the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra). I don't know if it is out on vinyl. I would love to find a copy if it was... It was a decent tour too...

T_Bone, I have three performances, but not the Yo-Yo Ma. The performances I have are:

Bernstein/OrchNatFra, Rostropovich (EMI on a MHS reissue)
Mehta/Israel PO, Starker (Decca)
Ormandy/PhilO, L.Rose (Columbia)

All are very interestingly different. I'll check the library for the Ma recording since you recommend it. Thanks!

I have it on ceedee. It is well-recorded and well-performed. And my copy is signed by YYM and DZ... :^)

Now back to your regularly-scheduled vinyl sessions...
