The 10th is rather excellent, Martin. The organ bass will certainly 'wake up' your woofers! :eyebrows:
The early Philips recording is also quite superb. I'll bring it with me next time I pop down :)

Fantastic music, really beautiful - and unbelievably realistic recording. Superbly delineated in holographic 3D. Must be in my Top 10 best ever recording list - if I had one, which I don't.

Lovely, lovely music - wonderfully performed. Elly Ameling, Felicity Lott, Ann Murray, Margaret Marshall - some of the greatest female classical vocalists ever - Yum.
Nice one, Jerry. Now ordered from Amazon :)
Looking forward now to playing the goodies on the way to me from you, particularly all that lurvely Shosty! :yay:
Marco.

DVD - not a bad production at the Sydney Opera House. But the Gondoliers is way down my list of fave G&S. OK to watch it now and again, and the wife likes it more than I do, but ennui definitely sets in fairly rapidly for me.

This CD is from so far out in left field that you would need a powerful telescope to see it! Bought on an eBay whim for under £3. :)
"A celebration of Britain's oldest recorded city", or something like that. Sponsored by Colchester council and local businesses.
:scratch:
Actually, it's bloody good! ;) A 5 movement 1 hour work by John Scott - quite a talented guy - he's worked with George Martin, he's mainly a film and TV music composer and arranger, he was the principal sax player in the Bond film Goldfinger! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Scott_(composer)
Anyway ... this symphony is well worth investigating if you can find it - good recording, too.

Brahms 2nd and 3rd symphonies transcribed by Brahms for one piano, four hands.
It's great! - works really well, I've ordered several more from the series. :)

A contemporary of Beethoven and a very fine composer. Kind of a cross between Haydn and early Beethoven.
