Unforgettable Classics ~ Cello ~ EMI - Unforgettable Classics

A fabulous collection of some of the most beautiful pieces written for Cello and an orchestra from EMI.

I just love the haunting sound of the Cello... might have to give that a try Dave

EMI released a whole series of Unforgettable Classics compilations back in the mid 1990's Alex and they are all worth a listen. The production values are excellent too as expected of EMI ;)

Unforgettable Classics ~ Great British Music ~ EMI - Unforgettable Classics

More from this fabulous EMI collection :cool:

I passed up a good handful of excellent condition pressings yesterday for less than 2 pounds a piece. Then, I had a :doh: moment and went back for them today. Luckily, they were all still there. Many are monaural early pressings or radio station copies. I really need to find a great mono cart. Here are the three I've gone through tonight.

Report on yesterday's listening ...

Out hiking during the day, then restaurant meal in evening then bed.
So ..... musical riches experienced .... Nowt. Zilch. Nada.
Very very rare for this to happen!

But I promised a daily report, so here it is. :)

Biff - I must admit I'd love to hear that Bruno Walter Schubert 7 (well, actually more commonly known as the 9th I am sure!).

Lol - you forgot to tell us what you had to eat... Call that report thorough! :eyebrows:

;)

Chicken Balti Dansak, coconut rice, spinach & chick peas. Yum. :)

Thank you. That now completes your requirements for the day, and so you have my blessing to continue with the rest of your evening.

Albeniz - Suite Espanola, Fruhbeck de Burgos, New Philharmonia, Decca [xrcd24]

This Kingsway Hall performance and recording from 1967 is simply stupendous and the XRCD's quality utterly superb. This is Fruhbeck de Burgos' own orchestration of the work more well known for guitar (but originally for piano). Fantastic orchestral crescendi and very thrilling to listen to. Worth the price and then some for importing it from Amazon.com.
