Was Messian mentioned in this thread? His Quartet For The End of Time comes to mind and would been released on vinyl. He wrote this while a German prisoner during WWII and it was premiered in a prison camp. When I listen to it I often think of all the wonderful talented composers and artists who were killed during that war.
Classical Music Compositions from 1940 and later - Vinyl only
This is the theme for the next music listening gathering of our local group and I'm looking for suggestions. This is a vinyl only listening session, so new music available only on digital are excluded. Yes, I know that is limiting, but that's the way it is for this listening session.
A few pieces I've been thinking to bring from my collection, just starting from the "As", are:
Adams, John - Harmonium, for large orchestra and chorus - De Waart/San Francisco SO - ECM 25012
Alwyn - Str Qt 2 (1975) - Quartet of London - Chandos ABRD 1063
Alwyn - Symphony No. 2 - Alwyn/LPO - Lyrita SRCS 85
Arnold, Malcolm - Pf Trio, op54 - Nash Ensemble - Hyperion A66171
Arnold, Malcolm - Overture to Tam O'Shanter, Op51 - Eiji Oue/MinnO - Reference Recordings RM 2510
Bernstein - Serenade for Violin Solo, Strings and Perc - Bernstein/SymoftheAir, Isaac Stern, vn - Columbia
What music on LP would you recommend?

jetrexpro, no, I don't think anyone has mentioned Messiaen's Quartet For The End of Time. An amazing work with tremendous impact. As to labels still making new classical recordings and pressing on vinyl, there are two small interesting labels whose expanding catalog I follow. Both record on analog tape and then release in multiple formats. Yarlung Records - www.yarlungrecords.com Fone Records - http://www.fone.it/ Yarlung was recently recognized with a Brutus Award for 2015 by David Robinson, Positive Feedback Online: http://positive-feedback.com/audio-discourse/impressions-robinsons-brutus-awards-for-2015-part-3/ |

Here’s a new classical recording on vinyl just being released from Yarlung Records. It’s in the mail and I’m looking forward to hearing this: Krzysztof Penderecki - String Trio (1991) Jason Barabba - String Trio (2006) Performed by the Janaki String Trio and recorded by Yarlung in 2007. http://positive-feedback.com/industry-news/yarlung-records-announces-new-45-rpm-lps/ |
