For everybody's information,, there are actually four volumes of Casella by Noseda on Chandos. The missing one contains the First Symphony, the Elegia Eroica, and excerpts from Le Couvent sur l'Eau. Very much worth your attention.
Glad to be the first to give you a thumbs up for this video. Discovered Casella's symphonies almost 3 year ago and have high regard for them. Simply marvelous music which should be in anyone's collection.
Always have pet insurance. Our cat had a very rare form of cat herpes ,the fees were around 5k. She is fine ,and we thank the insurance plan every day. Such a drag that Finn Mortensen only wrote one symphony. One of my fav pieces. Thanks for introducing him to me, Dave.
great to see Casella being taken more seriously in recent years. I wish there was a modern recording of his marvellous Missa Solemnis (pro pace) from 1944. How about a Malipiero survey?
Speaking of Re-packaging, is it possible to discuss the idea of Carwood Byrd Sacred works (first 9 on ASV, 10-13 on Hyperion)? It seems like every recording ASV ever did under their Gaudeamus label is out of print, so maybe this could be an upcoming "Ripe for Reissue" idea?
I’m so happy to have learned about Casella through the “If I could only choose one work…” series. That concerto for orchestra is phenomenal. Can’t wait to dig into these symphonies.
Hi Dave. I'm relatively new to your channel, and I'm thoroughly enjoying it. Thank you for all of your efforts. You've made so many videos (and I'm only gradually working my way through them), and so I don't know if you've already covered this. If so, please just ignore my comment. I was wondering if I could perhaps persuade you to say something about the political and ideological aspects of classical music. It seems to me as a European that following the two great wars in particular an attempt was made to sort of clear the air and get rid of aesthetics that had now suddenly come to seem suspicious due to either nationalistic tendencies (Sibelius being one example), occultism and lack of clarity (what Wittgenstein called "bewitchment of our intelligence"), or downright affiliation with fascism or nazism. Casella being an example. Wagner is of course a chapter all of his own, but Wagner didn't get weeded out. Many others did, and only now are they starting to resurface. It's an interesting topic, I think.
Thank you. It is an interesting topic. In general, I try to focus more on music and the experience of listening, but I'll give it some thought--and welcome!
Dave. Indeed this is great music. For the most part I have the Naxos stuff - concerto for Orchestra, Suite, Divertimento, Serpente discs (3 in all) and some Muti from the Muti box. Haven't heard the symphonies before..quiet interesting....streaming on Amazon music as we speak. Thx for this video
My wife and I maintain as "special, emergency-only" checking account for our pups. We deposit funds into it every month or so, and build it up for those (dreaded) emergency situations and procedures ONLY. The standard shots, check-ups, etc come out-of-pocket. The special account is UNTOUCHABLE except for puppy emergencies. It works well. LR
The guilt trip that vets put you through can drive you into penury. When Maisie, showing off her white underbelly, rolled twelve feet off our deck and broke a tooth, it cost $1600 to save her from what was forecast as a life of unceasing torment. Of course, there’s no choice. Applause for your ongoing championship of undervalued composers, Casella and Tournemire just two of many examples. Incidentally those Chandos Casella recordings, at least on my gear, offer state-of-the-art sound.

Agreed. I fortunately bought all the original releases when available.

That was a lovely Cat-sella review indeed, Dave! 😅

Sorry to hear about sick babies.
Look forward to their appearance 👍
Bless you for adopting those sweet kittens. They’ll help keep you young

Looking forward to exploring this music. I hope the kittens feel better...cats bring such great joy into our lives.

I hope that Mildred and Finster will perform some Stockhausen from "Aus den sieben Tagen" - or 4'33'' in the 8-paws-version.
Will Mildred and Finster do reviews on Tinnitus Classics, just like the legendary Pipo did in his prime?
I hope so.
Good for you! We have 2 dogs and 4 cats.
Kittens are a hoot...!
FiFi shudders her tail for Mildred and Finster.
