One of my favourite CDs, no. 12 is La Folia I think? I grew up with tapes of this performance off radio 3 in my teenage years.Quote:

This is a stunning Elgar 1

Captivated by this at the moment .... slow and intense, some of the fugues are astonishingly powerful and moving played like this ....

Light Classical picked up in local charity shop, is actually quite good, although some might disagree.

Anyone who knows their JSB WtC [and is suitably broadminded] surely cannot fail to be entranced by these wacky, weird and wonderful electronica re-imaginings.
Whoosh!! - a real workout for your woofers at times.

I was dubious about it as there were several reports of it being a noisy pressing but I have say I have just popped it out of the sleeve, put it on the TT and a quick wipe with the Project brush and on, and it's pretty quiet so far. Musically its excellent, huge dynamics and high and lows

For me this may be perfect Xmas music.
About to sit down to our Xmas fodder, and it will be on repeat. :)

I have several versions of the Bach Cello Suites. That looks interesting - how well do the suites transcribe to the lyra?Quote:

Hauntingly beautiful background level music this. Just tinkling away, is very soothing
Especially debussy
I see it's sponsored by Lufthansa ... Lufthansa used to do some great things in the early music space, for example, for many years they sponsored a baroque concert series in London (sadly now stopped which is a real shame though the concert series has started up again as the London Festival of Baroque Music)Quote:

What struck me most was that as encores he played some 'easy' Bach pieces from the Anna Magdalena Notebook that I would guess half the audience must have learned as children, beforehand talking about how characteristic in various ways these pieces were of the master and what a wonderful gateway. He was 'only' 83 at the time but looked almost unchanged from the recordings he made in his 50s back in the 1970s and didn't look frail in any sense. His death was a shock and a huge loss.
Will look up the Handel :)
Delightfully laidback Bach performances.
Just right for the end of a tiring day.
Very non-HIP.

I have been auditioning a pair of speaker at home and thought a bit of Organ music would give them a good work out, plus I like some now and then.
