Agreed, which recording do you listen to?Don't often listen to classical , but I usually have time for this which I'm listening to at the moment :

I think I still prefer the old Sir Thomas Beecham/RPO recording from the 50s on EMI.

Just bought this for 99p in my local Oxfam, and this was not my best bargan of the day by a long way!
Music for Christmas: an anthology from the 12th to the 20th century
Taverner Consort, Choir & Players directed by Andrew Parrott 1993
It looks like it was originally given away free with the BBC Music Magazine.
Very seasonal, and pretty well recorded too! I see it was recorded in St Giles' Cripplegate, London, and they have caught the acoustic marvellously.

Btw, Jerry, don’t know how far you are from Hay-on-Wye, but if you’re ever down that way, I thoroughly recommend you visit the Broad Street Book Centre, as they have a superb selection of classical music on CD - and rather well priced it is, too!

That's a strange recording, actually, Andrei - a 25p charity shop bargain - a German LP of various Vivaldi concertos including mandolin, but the orchestra is called a zupforchester - a whole orchestra made up of mandolins - a huge strumming sound - amazing!
Thanks Marco - I've not been to Hay for a couple of years or so - Lindsey is a book person and she enjoys the occasional visit. It's about an hour from us.Btw, Jerry, don’t know how far you are from Hay-on-Wye, but if you’re ever down that way, I thoroughly recommend you visit the Broad Street Book Centre, as they have a superb selection of classical music on CD - and rather well priced it is, too!

I didn't know about the Broad St shop you mention - looks like another visit to Hay is due!
And some more LP listening from yesterday ....
Haitink's Schubert 9 is a bit bland, but the 2 Tchaiks are excellent!

No worries, Jerry. Thought it was reasonably local to youThanks Marco - I've not been to Hay for a couple of years or so - Lindsey is a book person and she enjoys the occasional visit. It's about an hour from us.

It was Del’s birthday yesterday, so after having stayed overnight in Brecon, at one of our favourite haunts there, we decided to tour around the area, so headed to Hay and then into Herefordshire, which is a stunningly beautiful part of the country, especially on a sunny day like yesterday.
We found a lovely quaint little 12th Century inn too, in Dorstone, just outside of Hay. Thoroughly recommended for lunch if you’re in the area :http://www.pandyinn.co.uk/
Honestly, you’d love that book shop. There must’ve been at least 1500-2000 classical CDs (from all the major composers), with prices ranging from £3, second-hand, to £30 new. For vinyl lovers, there were a couple of shops selling records, too - oh, and also some weird and wonderful antique/bric-a-brac shops, where we picked up a few interesting bits, such as some antique baubles for our Christmas tree.
Anyway, I digress!
Marco.
