Lovely pellucid bell-like tone Lill gets from his piano on this recording, almost like a dulcimer at times. Beautiful.
... and it's available for 1p + postage from Amazon. ;)

A much underrated composer, imo.
Just popped into one of the charity shops in Wrexham and obtained the following, all on minty-mint vinyl [50p each]:
Brahms - Symphony No1, with the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by Rudolf Kempe, on EMI records, from 1959.
Handel/Vivaldi/Gluck - Pachelbel Canon, with The Academy of Ancient Music, conducted by Christopher Hogwood, on Decca Records ‘Editions De L’Oiseau-Lyre', from 1981.
Mozart - Symphony No 32/35 and 39, by the English Chamber Orchestra, conducted by Sir Charles Mackerras, on ASV Digital Records, from 1985.
Debussy - Nikita Magaloff ‘Piano Works’, on Concert Hall Records, from 1969.
Vaughan Williams - Dona Nobis Pacem 'Toward the Unknown Region’, with Sheila Armstrong (soprano), John Carol Case (baritone) and the London Philharmonic Choir/Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by Sir Adrian Boult, on EMI ‘His Masters Voice’ Records, from 1973.
Bohuslav Martinů - Concerto for Violin and Orchestra/Concerto for Piano and Orchestra, with Bruno Belcik (violin), Josef Palenicek (piano) and the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by Vaclav Neumann and Karel Ancerl, on Supraphon Records, from 1962.
Martinů - Concerto for Oboe and Orchestra. Strauss - Concerto for Oboe and Orchestra, with Frantisek Hantak (oboe) and the BRNO State Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by Martin Turnovsky and Jaroskav Vogel, on Supraphon Records, from 1963.

And lastly, ‘An Anthology of Elizabethan Keyboard Musick’, played by Michael Thomas on the claviorganum, positive organ, chamber organ, double manual harpsichord, single manual harpsichord and clavichord, on Saga Records, from 1966.
Off to clean them now, and then have a listen! Any gems in here, Jerry, or are they just a load of old tat? :D
Marco.
P.S oh, and a CD of Bruch’s Violin Concerto No1/Scottish Fantasy for Violin and Orchestra, with Kyung Wha-Chung (violin), and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by Rudolf Kempe, on Decca, from 1999 [original recording from 1972]: an ‘ADD’ analogue-to-digital remaster, for £1.00.
:lol:
Good haul - not a piece of old tat in sight, Marco!
Gosh, I must be learning! :eek: :D

The London Viola Sound
http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/...DL._SL150_.jpg
The 48 violas of: Academy of St Martin in the Fields, The London Philharmonic and Orchestra of the English National Opera.
An interesting mix of tracks:
Gershwin - 'It Ain’t Necessarily So' from Porgy and Bess
Weill – Kiddush
Shostakovich – Galop from Cherymushki
Dvořák – Slavonic Dance in E minor
Granger – Arrival Platform Humlet
Ravel – Pavane pour une infante défunte
Prokofiev - Waltz from War and Peace
Bacharach - 'This Guy’s In Love With You'
Strayhorn – 'Take the “A” Train'
This sort of thing is probably frowned upon by this august forum, but is pleasant nonetheless. Anyway it was a charity shop acquisition so very inexpensive.
