Re: Listening Project Calendar
Excellent choice, I'm genuinely pleased about that one. I've only one recording of the "Rite..." but I've been trying to justify the purchase of another. Now I have an excuse!james wrote:I have thought about it a bit more and finally decided on ..

You probably know this already, but Sky Arts regularly show a very good introduction to the Rite with Michael Tilson Thomas.

I'd stick with Dido if I was you... otherwise we'll be reading about other Tir Na members chasing you around the streets of Dublin in the small hours, with lit torches and large, pointy sticks..Diapason wrote:Purcell is EXACTLY what I was thinking of for the "deeply unpopular" category.

That's a great and really interesting choice James, I love Le Sacre and, thanks to Ciaran's recommendations, I have several great performances of it.james wrote:I have thought about it a bit more and finally decided on ..
