Ooh thanks for that Jerry - will check it out. I know Camilleri's Clarinet works fairly well (I've played the lovely Sonatina a couple of times at recitals) so will be good to hear his other stuff.Originally Posted by jandl100

Right now, on vintage vinyl... Sibelius 'Symphony No2' (The Swan of Tuonela), with The Hallé Orchestra, conducted by Sir John Barbirolli, on EMI HMV, from 1967:
Next up will be a digitally produced recording on vinyl (shock, horror!): Fauré 'Melodies', with Frederica Von Stade (soprano) and Jean-Philippe Collard (piano), on EMI DIGITAL, from 1982.
Couldn't find an image for that one!

Lol... I noticed that image, when I was searching last night, but it's nothing like what's shown on the cover of my vinyl copy. I believe that the above is from a CD release.
Mine has a picture of Frederica Von Stade and Jean-Philippe Collard on the front, looking rather 'retro'...

Ah! I get quite of few of my classical images for the server from far eastern sites. They usually get found from the catalogue number, but some do take a lot of work to find . . .

Well, if you can find the one in question, you'll get extra brownie points! The catalogue number is: ASD 4183. I think it's reasonably rare - good luck

Not sure Marco, mine is a CD. Who is the soloist and what is the orchestra on your LP copy?
