Lovely pellucid bell-like tone Lill gets from his piano on this recording, almost like a dulcimer at times. Beautiful.

The London Viola Sound
The 48 violas of: Academy of St Martin in the Fields, The London Philharmonic and Orchestra of the English National Opera.
An interesting mix of tracks:
Gershwin - 'It Ain’t Necessarily So' from Porgy and Bess
Weill – Kiddush
Shostakovich – Galop from Cherymushki
Dvořák – Slavonic Dance in E minor
Granger – Arrival Platform Humlet
Ravel – Pavane pour une infante défunte
Prokofiev - Waltz from War and Peace
Bacharach - 'This Guy’s In Love With You'
Strayhorn – 'Take the “A” Train'
This sort of thing is probably frowned upon by this august forum, but is pleasant nonetheless. Anyway it was a charity shop acquisition so very inexpensive.

Mono????Playing as I type ....
LP
Mono from the mid-50s ? maybe?
Orchestra sounds a bit scrawny, but the cello is captured superbly, real vibrancy!
Hey, Old Slava (RIP) couldn't half play!
