Schubert: Symphonie No. 8 "Inachevée" & No. 9 "La Grande"
November 26, 2025 at 9:31 AM
Earth Symphony, composed by Jake Runestad, received a 2022 Emmy Award.

Digging into Gounod beyond "Faust." His 2nd Symphony is a delight, especially in this 1957 mono recording by Igor Markevitch.

The violinist on this album is Josef Suk, who is the grandson (and namesake) of the Fantasie's composer, Josef Suk, and the great-grandson of Dvořák. This heritage grants the recording a unique historical and cultural authority.
It seems Tidal has mistakenly labeled the Fantasie as G-sharp minor.

A fascinating vinyl listen today: music from Lullula Music, an institution devoted to early childhood music education rather than record releases. I could even follow a bit of the content with my limited German. And yes—the little bird is their logo.

Rubinstein recorded Beethoven’s Emperor Concerto three times: 1956 with Krips, 1963 with Leinsdorf, and 1975 with Barenboim. The Barenboim version is the most famous, but honestly, I prefer the first two.

The Pristine XR (PASC 390) pairs a fantastic Emperor with No. 4 under Karajan.Don’t miss the Music & Arts set—it includes the rarely heard No. 1 with a young Kubelík.

Gieseking's pre-1945 recording of Beethoven's "Emperor" Concerto with the forgotten conductor Artur Rother is an absolute must-listen. It's one of the few historical recordings I can truly appreciate.

I have another set released by CPO, with the same orchestra and conductor—wondering if it's the same recording. I've never actually listened to it all the way through.

The Magic Flute was the first opera I ever listened to from start to finish. Abbado's version felt a little subdued, but I still loved it.

My favorite Mahler Symphony No.6 is the Heinz Rögner. But the track listing reverses the 2nd and 3rd movements—every online version seems to follow this incorrect order. I haven’t found the original booklet, so it’s unclear what Rögner intended. Personally, I prefer the Andante as the 2nd movement.

My favorite Mahler cycle is the Berlin Phil’s — such a beautiful interpretation throughout.

三江韵习作 春夜病中
山间晚雾锁青矼, 暗度幽香入小窗。
一阵惊风穿旧圃, 几多残蕊覆苔缸。
昏灯闲照销愁绪, 皎月清辉濯病庞。
药歇方眠衣觉重, 碎听夜雨扰春江。

檐下轻风逐鸟飞,倚栏慵坐看花绯
舔绒爪,睨余晖,当年戏蝶几时归?

布索尼C大调钢琴协奏曲Op.39的几个演奏版本

这真是一部宏大而复杂的钢琴协奏曲。长达70分钟的演绎,以及最后出现的人声,都让演奏者望而却步。有人甚至认为这部五乐章钢琴协奏曲可以与李斯特的《浮士德交响曲》和马勒的《第八交响曲》相媲美。
这部作品的独特性意味着,它自诞生以来就一直徘徊在音乐曲目的边缘。

柏辽兹《幻想交响曲》
这部充满自传色彩的交响曲,在1845年的乐谱首版印刷时,并没有题献给作曲家狂热迷恋的演员哈丽特·史密森(Harriet Smithson),而是献给俄皇尼古拉一世。没有找到确切的说明为什么柏辽兹要献给尼古拉一世。十九世纪的俄国,保罗一世,亚历山大一世,然后是尼古拉一世,一直处在不断的战争和国内动荡中。尼古拉一世的统治,是在流血中开始的。他认为重新进行独裁统治是对付西方涌入俄国的自由思想的唯一办法。而另一方面,俄国贵族和皇族,对西方音乐艺术的资助又是巨大的,包括莫扎特、李斯特、贝多芬,都曾寻求俄国皇室的支持。俄国对西方的爱与恨,也许一直持续到了今天。

在所有图书类型中,回忆录是世上最具欺骗性的一种,因为在回忆录中,粉饰往往不被人察觉,回忆录的作者基本上都在一味地为自己辩解。自我吹嘘和回忆录常常携手出现。谎言和回忆录也是一对密友。从来没有(不排除有个别例外)哪位回忆录作者说自己的坏话,拿自己开玩笑,或者冷冰冰地讲述自己人生中某件难为情的往事,就好像让人难为情的事情根本不会发生在他们身上似的。从来没有哪位回忆录作者就自己的懦弱大谈特谈。相反,他们不单是勇敢无畏的,甚至索性就住在风暴眼附近或时常在那周围游弋。

格里格的 培尔金特组曲
抛开音乐,今天我们回顾Peer Gynt的故事,一个一无所有的年青人,追求个人自由、追逐财富和名誉,放在今天,会被视为一种成功的象征,这种现象在某些领域甚至被赞扬为勇于突破、打破常规,成为榜样人物。至于普遍认为易卜生在他的作品中所表达出来的“这种追求,缺乏真正的满足感,最终带来的是孤独和心灵的空虚”,是这样的吗?即使是这样,这个故事仿佛也已经变了味。
音乐无需这样思考,可是文学作品,却需要。

[今天听了什么] 谢尔盖·普罗科菲耶夫的《基耶中尉》(Prokofiev's Lieutenant Kijé)
该音乐最初是为同名电影配乐而创作的,由列宁格勒的Belgoskino 电影制片厂于 1933-34 年间制作,并于1934 年3 月上映。这是普罗科菲耶夫首次尝试电影配乐,也是他的第一个委托作品。
