Another recent purchase....

I have it, I remember my not being too keen on it when I bought it, many, many moons ago, perhaps I should return to it.

Interesting....I will pay particular attention to it so Seán.

My jpc delivery arrived this afternoon and I am particularly pleased with this lot I must say.

First and foremost, is this 10 CD set on Hamonia Mundi.



It is beautifully presented and the enclosed booklet contains a list of the musicans on all 10 CDs, this is essential information in my book. There is a sumptuous line up of composers, including JS Bach, CPE Bach and Zelenka and from what I have heard thus far of the Freiburger Barockorchester they really are a very good ensemble.

If you want to get a copy of it, it's on sale on jpc for €17.99:

I picked up this Schubert cycle on jpc for the price of a cup of tea: €2.99

[Seán]

I have very little of Grieg's output in my collection and none of his chamber works, so I bought this set to get a feel for his music, it's still available on jpc for €2.99:
