Donizetti's Don Pasquale effervescent, full of wonderful tunes (was the beginning of Act II in Nino Rota's mind when composed the main theme for The Godfather?): a joy. Classic performance with Mirella Freni, Sesto Bruscantini, Leo Nucci and Gösta Winbergh with the Philharmonia Orchestra and Ambrosian Opera Chorus under Riccardo Muti.

How do you rate the Takacs Quartet Fergus? They certainly have a particular style.fergus wrote:

I played the Solti version of this work recently and enjoyed it.
Chailly’s version is not as overtly assertive as Solti’s (as one might imagine) but it does pack the relevant punch where required; Chailly rather ponders the music, sometimes caressing it lovingly. I think that this is a lovely performance.

Re: What are you listening to?
^^ On the way home from Lincolnshire today, I was treated to a great performance of Ilan Volkov's Bruckner 5 on Radio 3, recorded live with the BBC Scottish... it's a while since I heard the symphony, so it was especially refreshing.
at present, I have wended my way toward the Dvorak chamber music for Sextet, Quintet & Piano Quartet... these 4 disks should come highly recommended:
