Even though I prefer for a modern version of the War Requiem the John Eliot Gardiner recording, this is certainly not bad.

My parents in law gave us a nice and comfortable reclining chair. I put it in our basement and turn it into my own room for listening to classical music. Today is the first day that I made the most of the chair and used it to listened to several pieces.
First:
Mozart Symphony 35 and 36, Schumann Symphonies 3 and 4, Bruckner Symphony no. 3 from
This was only the third time ever that I listened to the 35th. What an amazing piece of music. And while I am on it, let me tell you, yet again, that I am totally in love with this box set. A real bargain and so many goodies for the price. This version of Bruckner's 3rd is now probably my favorite one among the ones I own. Many thanks to all of you because I bought that box set because it contains a complete cycle of Schumann's symphonies that some of you recommended.
And then some religious music. CD 4 of
That superb box set was a present to myself for Christmas 2 years ago. It was the perfect price and content for a total newbie in sacred music like myself. I would like to go through each of the 30cd in 2012. CD4 consists of some beautiful polyphonic pieces from the 14th century.
And then in the evening
Mahler Symphony no. 3 conducted by Tennstedt with the LPO from
Love the new chair and i am looking forward to many great music days like today in the future.
Matt.

That is interesting regarding the Sakari version. Perhaps I should play it again and thereby start my Sibelius 5 studies with it. A bolder version is undoubtedly what this work needs all right so that would be quite an interesting comparison.I'm not sure I felt the Sakari 5th was as strong as the rest of his cycle. The Inkinen version is much bolder, both in interpretation and sonics. I played it twice back-to-back tonight and felt it dealt with the dynamics especially well. I am beginning to consider the NZSO as an orchestra to look out for....
