Re: What are you listening two?

Liszt: Tone Poems [van Immerseel] These are wonderful works given very fine performances here. I do like their Beethoven cycle. There is a box set available on JPC.de for €19.99 and it strikes me as odd to have these works played by an orchestra using (older) 'period' instruments, perhaps it's me t...

Re: What are you listening two?

Haydn's early Symphonies played under the baton of Goodman I do like Goodman and the Handover Band's treatment of Haydn's symphonies, that said I don't have very many of them. Dave loved them. I have everything that Goodman recorded in the Haydn Symphonies. They are my go to in the Haydan Symphonies.

Re: What are you listening two?

JS Bach: Brandenburg Concertos [Dart] Philomusica of London is an entirely new one on me. Recorded in 1959 if I am not mistaken. Played on modern instruments but with a light touch and transparent orchestral textures. It is, mostly, a very good presentation. He also recorded the JS Bach Orchestral ...
