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

    ... and it's available for 1p + postage from Amazon.

    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 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!
    Mono????
