Sean, it really is a stellar set... not a bad performance, and v high quality recording... I'd heartily recommend, along with the Pletnev set on DG...Seán wrote:People speak well of of that set, it is on my wish list.Diapason wrote:Tchaikovsky 5. Don't know this Symphony so well, but it's a while since I've had the chance of listening to entire Symphony. Fingers crossed I'll get to the end without disturbance. Sound is always good on a Sunday too!

If you managed to get it on Spotify I would be curious to know what you thought of it Don. It is "light" music but something a little bit different and unusual. The minimal forces really clear out the textures and let the solo instrument line be heard very clearly. I like it I must say.

I did find it Fergus, same recording along with some Keyboard/Organ concerti too. I enjoy concerti for some of the more unique instruments of the time, mandolin, Viola da Gamba, Baryton, Lira etc. These are certainly different and enjoyable.

Glad you enjoyed it Don. I have some of the baryton music in my collection but I have not listened to it in a long time....must do so soon!

The Takác's are not my favourite quartet. Do you like their take on Mozart's quintets?fergus wrote:

Re: What are you listening to?
Laló´s Le Roi d´Ys is a lovely opera, I can´t understand why it´s not performed more often. This is still the only studio recording, and a very good one it is. Recorded as far back as 1984, Barbara Hendricks and Delores Ziegler are in great voice, so it´s a pity that the tenor, who has the best known aria in the opera is mediocre at best. If ERATO had hired someone like Alfredo Kraus or Alain Vanzo this lovely recording could have sold easily 3 times as many. But those who only know Laló for his Rapsodie Espagnole should investigate this tuneful and well written opera.
