Ludwig van Beethoven
String Quartet No 14, Op 131

Quartetto Italiano


I love this music, this performance was recorded in July 1969 and the Decca engineers did a superb job in recording the Itailans. Strongly recommended.

This is a powerful, assertive performance.

Antonio Vivaldi
The Four Seasons

Candida Thompson (violin 1), Henk Rubingh (violin 2), Julian Rachlin (viola), Maarten Jansen (cello), Stacey Watton (double bass), Elizabeth Kenny (theorbo); Jan Jansen (organ/harsichord)
Janine Jansen {solo violin}


This is a hugely enjoyable performance of the Four Seasons.

I bought it three years ago after this: http://www.classicalmusicguide.com/view ... ns#p201108
Thanks for the heads up on CD Review Seán!
Is No. 1 son still interested in that particular CD and classical music in general?
Yes, he is, in fact I caught him listening to the delightful Ms Jansen so that's why I gave it a spin. I have suggested that he listen to the Fabulous Biondi/Europa Galante and Sarah Chang performances too.

I have the RCA Wand Bruckner set, one of these days I must actually listen to it.
