    Moving onto this now, which is also rather good, but they're probably not your type, Jerry!

    Quite an interesting performance, superbly recorded.
    There's an overwhelming sense of gentle melancholy - well, more a lightly whistful sadness - interesting in a way but for me it doesn't sustain itself over the symphony's length. Quite an exciting allegro and end of finale, though.
    I prefer the more overt sense of tense brooding grief in the long quiet sections from Neeme Jarvi on Chandos. That's a Desert Island Disc for me.

    Lovely stuff. I would normally listen to the 1961 Sutherland/Pritchard (similarly wonderful), but this one has Joan in excellent form and the not inconsiderable asset of Pavarotti - a force of nature as Edgardo.

    Pretty good, excellent in places esp 5th symphony


    Even better, on the whole.


    Pretty darn wonderful in places.

    ... and then for something completely different ...


    Reminded me in places of Gloria Coates. Impressive in its way.

    and so ...
