I rather liked it but need another more concentrated listen I think. I have two other pieces by him, more leaning to contemporary Glassworks and The Photographer.

Not too sure about this version of T4S, seems a bit dry to me...

I'm sure it's not as bad as Nigel Kennedy's version. (Although to give his due, at the time he did turn a lot of people on to Classical music.)

I have always regarded Vanessa Mea as a bit of a populist, although I think I might have something by her in my collection.

I hope these images work/upload/all that, it's my first time trying!
I'm sure I'll be a regular contributer to this thread especially now I am starting to rip my classical cds (aroud 12 thousand of them) to flac.
Here's what I'm listening to and copying at the moment. These are the pictures from the album artwork so don't blame me if they're rubbish quality lol the Corelli is probably the best so far IMO.

12 thousand Rob? waoh, that will take a long time and a lot of storage. make sure you have 2 copies...

Yeah and I'm only 2200 rips in, it's taken a year to get that far as I was using exact audio copy, the slow way with test copy and all. I'm not using a slitely faster way as I've decided I'd rather have more music than 100% copies of each one, 80% copies will do :d
I have one backup of it so far but definitely looking into more backups! I've given my other backup to a collector friend with the proviso he gives it back should I need it, that way we both get to enjoy it.

I'm now using a slower way I mean, can't work the edit button.

i just use j river's ripper. very rare it fails. its maybe not super fast but about 5 mins a disc i guess. jriver is good software, although i mostly replay via roon these days.
ive used eac before but tbh i couldn't detect any audible difference from jriver.
