the usual sublime performances from Jordi Savall and Les Concert Des Nations.

^^ continuing the theme... I'm just breaking into my next set of delights which, along with my wonderful 'Handel & Haydn Fest' I have ongoing, will I have no doubt keep me entranced for the next fortnight all told:

watched a perfomance of this on BBC Four last night and so decided to dig out the only copy I have.

Many thanks Fergus... and Dave. This is probably a good time to say that I'll be gone for a couple of days, as I leave for a work training course tomorrow first thing... but I shall be taking some of these lovely recordings with me.

That's a great version of the Ninth, Dave, but do look out for Karajan's 1977 version. The quartet of singers that he employs in the later version - Jose van Dam, Peter Schreier, Agnes Baltsa and Anna Tomowa-Sintow - seem to be me to be on better form than the 1960s quartet - excepting, of course, the ever beautiful Gundula Janowitz - and, very often, it is the quality of the singers in this mighty work that distinguish the really great versions from the merely very good.
