Yes I am. I listened to the complete opera, that is Atto Primo, Atto Secondo ed Atto Terzo again this evening and put the third part on repeat, it is very enjoyable music, I haven't got a clue what it's about though and I was surprised that I was familiar with "Che farò senza Euridice?" the rest of the music is unfamiliar to me.fergus wrote:Seán wrote:

I am delighted that you took a liking to Gluck Seán.

That is interesting Pepe because the sleeve notes on the back of the LP are only auf Deutsche.

Two nods in the direction of Seán with this one; one for Mahler and the other for Haitink....

Harnoncourt and the Concertgebouw in Dvořák's 7th. A great pleasure. Beautiful woodwind sounds, strong but not aggressive direction from Harnoncourt, lovely recording.
Patricia Petibon in Italian 18th Century Opera Arias. Most of this is wonderful: as good as Simone Kermes's "Lava", but some tracks are way over the top. Nonetheless, I'm listening to it a lot, in particular much more to Il caro Sassone (Händel) than I normally would!
