Spinning Today (Classical version)

[jandl100]

Good stuff! - powerful, large scale, tuneful music - especially enjoyed the piano concerto. CD

Far and away my favourite version of The Seasons (Haydn not Vivaldi ) ...



Bohm really kicks in to the opening orchestral movement with vim & vigour, a very exciting interpretation that the original instrument boys don't get close to and vocal bass/baritone soloist is a genuine joy to behold. A stunning recording and a very long time fave of mine.
2 CDs.

The Dawn of Romance – Songs and music of the early troubadours of Provence.



EMT CDS 3785 (1978)

There is not much in my collection as old as this; some of the music dates back to before 1150! Very relaxing and superbly recorded.

Not familiar with that disc, but I do like Martin Best's work. I used to joke that I was a fan of 50s music, the 1150s

Watched this eve with the missus on DVD. For the umpteenth time!
Best production/recording of Iolanthe there is, I reckon.

Dysnomia - Dawn of Midi ( not classical but do love it )

[jandl100]

This is absolutely totally yummy!



But I'm not sure it's allowed here any more, as it isn't orchestral.



Ooo - and you should see the pic of the violinist, Miriam Kramer, in the booklet.
