Concertos for flute, cello and oboe by C.P.E. Bach. Vibrant music, brimming with invention, performed with great eloquence by Il Gardellino.

Re: What are you listening two?
Utterly glorious music for that most profound of instruments, the viola da gamba. C.P.E. Bach's gamba sonatas are an unalloyed delight, cerebral, reflective and introspective music of great inner depth.

Re: What are you listening two?
Finishing up the day's listening with the greatest music ever written for the viola da gamba. This is deeply personal music that I find among the most emotionally resonant of all of Bach's masterpieces. Just like his sonatas for violin and harpsichord, the harpsichordist here is truly an equal partner in this music. The creative dialogue that results is a profoundly spritual one which I find inexhaustible in its riches. Quite simply, this is an exquisitely rewarding listening experience of the most intensely expressive music which lingers long in the mind.

Re: What are you listening two?
I bought this version of Monteverdi's L'Orfeo recently....
I had not previously heard of Coro Antonio Il Verso, Ensemble Elyma or the director Gabriel Garrido. I then scanned the vocalists and recognised the names of Maria Cristina Kiehr, Roberta Invernizzi and Gerd Turk among the credits so I was duly interested. However, what eventually sold it to me was the list of awards that it had received most notably for me being Diapason D'Or which for some reason is not shown on the above image. The recording and performances proved to be exceedingly beautiful and sensitive and had a slightly different "flavour" to others that I have.
My question after this is does anyone else use these awards (or others) as a buying guide? I must admit that one or two of these awards is usually enough to arouse my interest but when so many came with one recording I had no hesitation when buying.
