Yup, some classics there.

I have not bought a new Bruckner disc in quite a while....

[Ciaran]

A new Carnival of the Animals, I listened to it last night: really lively and exuberant. The pianists in Pianists (deliberately) play lots of wrong notes. Leave them in their cage! This CD also has the Septet with trumpet, something I've wanted a record of for a long time.



Continuing my second Abbado Mahler cycle:

Continuing my second Abbado Mahler cycle:

I have a copy of Abbado's third, I must give it a spin once again. If memory serves me correctly I really liked it the last time I listened to it. I rarely listen to the Third in comparison to the other symphonies.

[Ciaran]

I rarely listen to the Third in comparison to the other symphonies.

It's one of my favourites: possibly even the one I'm most likely to listen to!

At last:

I certainly hope that you enjoy them as much as I did Seán.
