- not sure about the VC, but the 2nd symphony is impressive.
-- Brahms clarinet and piano quintets.
Extremely wonderful.

Yester-eve, 2 masterful British symphonies ...
Mr Arnell's more approachable, Master Bate's somewhat harder work, but worth it.

Gradually getting into these symphonies. It's taking a while mind ... i.e. decades, off and on. Mainly off. But a good generic-orchestral listen.
Ahhh, perfect music. Like Haydn, but a bit different.

Carmen with Marilyn Horne, conducted by Leonard Bernstein - the 'surround' remaster on Pentatone SACD. Very promising so far - nice atmosphere and some use of the rear channels. More than I'm used to but seems sensitively done.

This is marvelous music ...
... even the horn sonata, and I am not usually a fan of french horn music.
