No day would be complete without a daily diet of trout served up by Jandó and the Kodály, it is lovely music-making.

Why would you not....it is an excellent cycle with stand out performances from the Brass and Timpani sections in particular and with strong performances throughout!!Seán wrote:Will I? I wonder.fergus wrote:Symphony No. 9....
This has long been a favourite version of this work and it stands comparison with any other.

There are some performances in music that are dear to your heart and this is one of those for me.

Re: What are you listening to?
agreed wholeheartedly... I really don't understand the strength of feeling shown by this piece's detractors... for me, it's one of the finest Religious Choral Works of its era, and this is a particularly fine performance. Having eventually had the courage to sell the Karajan version (too laboured and mushy) on ebay, I will be looking for a replacement to complement this one in due course, but it will be another with smaller forces I think... any suggestions?fergus wrote:
