Really enjoying Monteverdi Choir - Pilgramage to Santiago (http://www.monteverdi.co.uk/shop/alb...ago/pilgrimage, particularly the wonderful rendition of Jean Mouton's Nesciens Mater.
Couldn't get the payment through on the above site so bought from Presto instead.

Yummy! - my fave version of the Elgar. :thumbsup:

Enjoyed this so much I ordered vol. 2. :)
And played another disc from this set ....

And gave up and put it on the 'for sale' shelf .... :zzz:
Was it Vierne's music or Jeremy Filsell's playing that sent you to sleep Jerry?
I've a recording by Filsell playing transcriptions of improvisations by Cochereau that's quite stunning (mostly!) . . .
It's the playing, which kind of pootles away, seemingly aimlessly to my untutored ear - and it's the recording which is smoooooth and undramatic.Quote:

This CD is so much more interesting, involving and (perhaps superficially) impressive.

It's what got me interested in investigating the whole Vierne organ symphony repertoire.
I'm now happy to just keep to this one CD! :)

Lovely work - lovely playing by one of my fave violinists, Susanne Lautenbacher.
this was a weird and wonderful charity shop find!

At first listen, as a piece of music, I preferred Faure; but, she's good.
Yes, saw her live some years ago. She was good (and rather striking)!Quote:

More Pfitzner - are you looking for symphonies that are a riot of exuberance and excitement? Then look elsewhere. :eyebrows: That can be great fun, but these are more subtle and nuanced and, well, quieter and more thoughtful. I've a nice feeling that these works will amply repay further listening.
