^^ as I've said before, you're a man after my own heart, Fergus..
now, I'm not entirely sure why this wonderful rendition was nowhere in the reckoning for best recording in BBC Music Mag's recent traversal of the Brandenburgs, but it's superb:

I think that says more about the BBC magazine than it does about that particular cycle as anyone who has heard it will testify....Jared wrote:now, I'm not entirely sure why this wonderful rendition was nowhere in the reckoning for best recording in BBC Music Mag's recent traversal of the Brandenburgs, but it's superb:

That recording was praised as one of the highlights of the Teldec Complete Bach edition in CD Review on Saturday.

I'm pleased to hear it, Ciaran. The tone-colours are radiant, the tempo upbeat and sprightly and it has a very light, joyous feel to it...Ciaran wrote:That recording was praised as one of the highlights of the Teldec Complete Bach edition in CD Review on Saturday.

Jared recommended the Il Giardino Armonico Brandenburgs on a recent thread and it's on the top of the pile in my amazon basket.Jared wrote:I'm pleased to hear it, Ciaran.

Ludwig van Beethoven
Piano Sonata N0. 23, Opus 57
Sviatoslav Richter - piano.
This is quite a wonderful performance. It was recorded live in the Concertgebouw, unfortunately the audience explodes into applause on the conclusion of the final note; I would have liked an interval before they did so, a minor quibble on my part. It is very enjoyable.
