Pergolesi - Stabat Mater, Florilegium
Spurred on by a performance just now in the chapel at school, I put this version on. Lovely.

Copland: Fanfare for the Common Man, Appalachian Spring, Rodeo, Lane, Atlanta SO [cd]
Terrific performances and outstanding recording.
Poulenc: Stabat Mater, Lagrange, Baudo, CONL [cd]
A simply outstanding performance of one of my favourite choral pieces. This is a desert island disc for me.

Just been for a day out to Shrewsbury, doing some Christmas shopping, and popped into Rabbit Records and picked up the following on minty second-hand vinyl:

Mozart - Overtures. The Philharmonia Orchestra, conducted by Rafael Kubelik, on HMV "His Master's Voice", from 1958.
Joaquin Rodrigo/Heitor Villa-Lobos. Grands Interpretes. Concierto de Aranjuez/Concerto for guitar and small orchestra, with John Williams (guitar) and The English Chamber Orchestra, conducted by Daniel Barenboim, on CBS, from 1974.
