It is! I enjoyed it more on a reflective second listen today.

Huh. And people blamed Yoko.

 

Hindemith wrote some great music for the clarinet.

 

noone?

 

Sorry, haven't heard it.

 

at a bargain price?

 

John Lennon and Scott Ross ...

 

Now playing the following CD, which arrived from MDT earlier in the week for a first listen ...

Nice acquisition, as this CD is not even listed on Amazon US.

 

I need to find time to revisit the big box, as I do not even recall there are works by Byrd and Gibbons in there ...

 

A great disc. I inherited it from my Mother-In-Law.

 

Now playing the following CD, a recent arrival from MDT for a first listen ...

 

Just placed an order on the following CD's






The Frescobaldi set appears to be the same set released by Tactus, though the number of CD's differ.

 

Nice one!

 

Now playing CD1 from the following set, which arrived months ago from an Amazon MP vendor for a first listen ...

 

Now playing CD2 from the following set for a first listen. All the soloists were great on CD1 ...

 

Now playing CD5 - Sea Pictures, song cycle for alto & orchestra, Cello Concerto by Janet Baker and Jacqueline du Pre from the following set for a first listen ...

 

Relaxing day of vintage strings:

 

cool CD...I will search for thee CD...

 

I have been deciding whether to buy that box. I think it is time to give in.

 

I'm sure he did, I need to check out his concerto and some of his chamber music with clarinet - his oeuvre is vast!

Not my very favourite 20th century composer (that would apply more to the ones listed in my profile + Charles Ives) but a very interesting and rewarding composer who's written a lot of great music and seems sadly underrated/overlooked by many.

 

It is a great box. I have particularly enjoyed the first few CD's, conducted by Sir John Barbirolli. IMO, few conductors can surpass Barbirolli when it comes to Elgar, including any of his fellow British conductors. This is really a gem of a mega box that covers practically all the works by Elgar.

 

Listening to disc 1 of this 5 SACD set before going to bed. Good way to end a day.

 

Now playing CD3 - Symphonies Nos 3 & 4, etc from the following set for a first listen ...
