Brescianello: 3 violin concertos, 3 sinphonias and one ouverture-suite.
By La Serenissima and Adrian Chandler (on signum classics).
Chandler's music making is relatively easy-going and not as captivating
as Chauvin's or Carmignola's in Vivaldi.
The music itself also is not as captivating as Vivaldi's. It is nice and agreeable
On the other hand his programming brings more variety per disk than the
more usual recordings of baroque concertos.

Perhaps because I was introduced to it in high school
by a friend who played a good deal of Schoenberg (and
some Webern) on the piano, dodecaphonic music makes
sense/doesn't sound alien to me. Listening in the mid-1950s
to some of Robert Craft's recordings of that music, particularly
Berg's Altenberg Lieder with Bethany Beardslee, opened more
doors. On the other hand, I usually have no trouble, or so I tell
myself, distinguishing gems from dross in that repertoire.

that does not rely on a formal western tonal system:

The quality of performance of this music seems to have improved
markedly since the 1990s, particularly in ensemble, such that
secondary composers such as Gerhard (whom I'd mentioned above...)
come off much better. So it would probably be interesting to revisit
more dodecaphonic music from the 60s & 70s.

Haydn keyboard sonata in A flat major, XVI-46

The D flat major adagio in this sonata never ceases to amaze me - the moonlit key.
I've been trawling my CD collection for works that are - to me at least
- not mainstream. One work that I found absolutely fascinating years ago
is Messiaen's Quartet for the End of Time. But despite my appreciation,
I hadn't listened to it for years.

I would say that Messiaen is the 20th century composer who interests me the most.

As a change of pace after Scriabin and Messiaen I've been listening to
some uncommon Beethoven - the ballet "Creatures of Prometheus." Although
it is a relatively early work, it is from the time of the first two symphonies and although uneven, I found it to be very enjoyable.
I got to know the work from a Columbia LP of Louis Lane with the
Cleveland Orchestra and it is a fine performance. I also listened to the version from the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra which was even a bit more lively.
The Lane performance seems to be unavailable now, but was once in any
early Sony box of Szell's Beethoven. The Orpheus is available separately
but is also included in an inexpensive jumbo download collection of
music for the stage: https://www.prestomusic.com/classical/products/8701869--beethoven-2020-works-for-the-stage-2

The Szell/Cleveland collection of the LvB overtures, with the three Leonores included, was on an LP I once possessed, and was a great collection. Also had Creatures included. Orchestrally, I have to say I preferred this collection far more than any
In truth the Szell symphonies are fine too, marred only by the typical close up CBS sound. Strong, direct, and non-fussy readings from Szell.

Magnus Lindberg: EXPO, Piano Concerto #2, Al Largo (all composed between
2009 and 2012) on Dacapo. With Alan Gilbert, NYPO, Yefim Bronfman (piano). Program notes by Ilkka Oramo go into considerable detail on the evolution
and components of Lindberg's music, generally intelligible, which does
not necessarily mean I can relate them to what I gather on first hearing. Overall, instrumentation and sonority are highly varied, and all of the
works are easy to listen to.
EXPO is a celebratory work which opened Gilbert's tenure at the NYPO, and
is quite attractive. The concerto is also attractive with a very
active piano part (even a cadenza in the last movement), performed impressively by Bronfman. Oramo labels it as "crypto-Ravelian" (influenced
by the latter's left-hand concerto). I think it deserves a second
hearing. Lastly, the atmospheric "Al largo", said by the composer to
depict the open sea, is the most coherent of the works, and aay well
be a genuine masterpiece. The CD is available at Berkshire, and is well
worth the price. I intend to investigate more of Lindberg's work.
(Much of it is on Ondine, currently on a discount at Presto.)

I concur; I have this CD (which is excellent) and quite a number of others.
I started years ago with some of his earlier compositions; I admit it took
me quite a while
to get the hang of how to listen to his complex work.
His music has become more "user-friendly" over the past decade or so. I've been impressed
with much of his output.

For the past few weeks I've been listening to the music of Schnittke: his piano sonatas, string quartets, piano concertos and lastly his symphonies
one per day. This because I find them as well as most of his other music very demanding and intense; grim. I am so taken by this man's music, I intend
to explore his soundtracks and miscellaneous orchestral output. My initial hearing was the cello concerto no. 1 and 2. I have difficulty imagining
a live concert of his music because of the challenging nature of the music, much of it imo dark.
