We have several recordings of Gossec´s instrumental music but not nearly enough of his operas.
The excellent Belgian orchestra Les Agremens under Guy van Waas does an invaluable service to a composer that serves as a bridge between Glück and Cherubini (and that is in French opera of course).
Excellent live recording, very enjoyable.

Yeah good man Jared and thanks Simon. It would be a real pity to lose any of the posts in ye olde thread.

Tonight it´s the Diabelli and the Goldberg variations with András Schiff.

How GREAT is that!

anyway, while we are on the theme of the marvellous Philips 'twofers' series:



these haven't had a proper airing in a long while...
