Yes Jared, Raymond Leppard was right in there from the start and that is a very fine set.Jared wrote:^^ I would imagine that's a fine recording, Fergus... wasn't Raymond Leppard at the forefront of the HIP movement in the 1970's?
I have also noticed you've been striking a very fine balance recently, between playing new Cds and working your way through your old vinyl collection... it's a difficult line to tread isn't it? Even now, I'm very concerned that I have music which hasn't seen the light of day in well over two years... ;-(

no, this has been all at home over the past few days/ week (I spent 3 days in hospital last week with a kidney infection, and still feel as if I've been hit for 6) however there is no doubt that some of it would be highly suitable, and I may give it a try this week!fergus wrote:I had meant to ask you earlier Jared if you are listening to all the Early Music at work and if so what kind of reaction are you getting to it?
