Both are very fine performances and I especially liked the Scherzos in each work.

It contains a number of recorder sonatas by various Italian composers such as Corelli, Veracini and Marcello played by Frans Bruggen, Anner Bylsma and Gustav Leonhardt all of whose pedigree as instrumentalists is well known.
I would have doubted that recorder music would be a high priority with you Seán but I love it and you may or may not know that Bruggen was a renowned recorder player in his time before he became the famed musical director (as co-founder) of the Orchestra of the 18th Century that we all know and love!

Sibelius – Symphonies Nos. 6 & 7 played by the Berlin Symphony Orchestra/Sanderling....
Nos. 6 & 7 were, once again, very powerful performances with lovely textures coming from the string passages. I especially liked the brass in no. 7.

Prokofiev's second string quartet played by the Pavel Haas Quartet. Wonderful, and an interesting choice of repertoire for them: you don't often encounter the Prokofiev string quartets but from this account you'd wonder why. Exhilarating, abrasive, tuneful: all the things we love in Prokofiev are there!

A wonderful live performance featuring the Piano Quintet.
