And since we are pre-celebrating Glück, let´s hear his 2 ballets. Glück like Wagner composed very little that was not opera, but these ballets, are very nice and Tafelmusik plays them wonderfully.
Gardiner also recorded the Don Juan in his ERATO years by the way.

my final sojourn with Mozart's music for two pianists, before moving on to pastures new... it must be said that there is some predictably delightful music contained herein, however...

After my usual Great C with Abbado and the BPO I decided that it was time to listen to some chamber music and so it was back to Beethoven.
Ludwig van Beethoven
String Quartet in F major Op 18 No. 1
First up was the Budapest String Quartet
followed by the glorious Quartetto Italiano
and then it was the turn of the Alban Berg
and the lovely Guarneri Quartet
and finally the splendid concertmasters and soloists from the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra, this is gorgeous music-making:
I enjoyed that.
