Berlioz: Symphonie Fantastique played by ORR/Gardiner....
I think that this is a really fine work and so very innovative when one considers that it was first performed in 1830!

Oh we should mention that you were very impressed with the Miles Davis/Gil Evans recording of Rodrigo's music on the Sketches of Spain album too, this could be your first Jazz acquisition?

Yes, I had forgotten that and it certainly was very different to what I am used to hearing in that work.Seán wrote:Oh we should mention that you were very impressed with the Miles Davis/Gil Evans recording of Rodrigo's music on the Sketches of Spain album too, this could be your first Jazz acquisition?

Beethoven’s Symphonies 7 & 8 with Toscanini/NBCSO....
No. 7 is played with great energy and gusto; one is carried along on those wonderful themes with a great sense of exhilaration and excitement and is left almost breathless at the conclusion of the work. Wonderful stuff!!
No. 8 is played with the same gusto and zest and the rollercoaster ride continues unabated!
