Quite a slow 4th, but beautifully done. Great sq, too.

Amazing music, amazing pianist, fabulous recording - played on a vintage Graf fortepiano. The music as Beethoven would have heard it.... if he hadn't been deaf by then.

Probably a bit ‘light weight’ or ‘entry level’ for this august forum, but this afternoon it was:
Bizet & Oscar Hammerstein – ‘Carmen Jones’
Marilynn Horn (Carmen). (2007)
Prokofiev –‘Peter and the Wolf’ and Saint-Saëns – ‘Carnival of the Animals’
Itzhak Perlman (narrator) with Katia and Marielle Labeque (pianos). Israel Philharmonica Orchestra, cond. Zubin Mehta.
EMI 7 47067 2 (1984)

Not too lowbrow at all, as far as I'm concerned. Didn't a young Marilyn Horne sing on that soundtrack?

Readily available from Amazon: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Carmen-Jones...s=carmen+jones. I'm not sure if it is still available on vinyl.
I got my CD from a charity shop; I was attracted to it from having heard a 45 EP containing the 'hits' that belonged to my parents.
BTW I mispelt the name of the singer who sings the part of Carmen. It was Marilyn Horne.

Oooh, sorry. I'd posted not even noticing that you'd name checked Marilyn Horne - I wasn't trying to correct your spelling… That'll teach me to read posts in full. They just had a big 80th birthday concert for her at Carnegie Hall, I believe. Remarkable singer -- I love her in Norma with Joan Sutherland and (back to musicals) she was in the Philips/Hollywood Bowl recording of The King and I, with Julie Andrews and Ben Kingsley. Well worth searching out. The Grandi Voci CD (Decca) is worth seeking out, too.

Vinyl. On my "new" Technics 1210, that I just got today. I am so giddy with excitement it's embarrassing.
