    Apologies if recently discussed, but wondering if anyone might have recommendation for Beethoven’s “Septet in E Flat Major”?

    Yes, but @J.A.W. remark about why there is a 17 century Dutch vessel pictured on the Barriere CD reminded me of the fact that the Dutch had a monopoly on trade with Japan for two centuries from the mid-17th to the mid-19th century. Hence my joke that the vessel may indicate that free shipping is available from Japan for this CD too...

    For a period instrument performance, Hausmusik on EMI Reflexe (later reissued on Virgin) is well worth a listen.

    ...and founded New York in the 17th Century and named it New Amsterdam.

    By the way, the Dutch ruled much of what is now Indonesia from the early 17th Century until the mid-20th Century, more than 300 years. As with all colonial rule it isn't looked upon very positively these days, but that does not belong here.

    The Dutch history in America is quite well known while its history in Asia is not familiar to many even my late friend who escaped the Nazi occupied Netherlands on the last ship out of the country and eventually settled in the US and even served in the US army did not know about the Formosa history ...

    Worcester is one of the closer places to me that has a rich art music scene. Last concert I saw in Worcester was Jean-Yves Thibaudet and Gautier Capuçon

    Excellent recording that was great for a second listen ...

    I almost played the following twofer, which I have listened to only once in spite of it being in my collection for almost two decades. But 2 CD's is a bit long for the mood but @Wugged would have loved this twofer as a huge fan of Lorraine Hunt ...
