With the talk of solo piano music recently I pulled this one out again and played the Nocturnes, which I love....

This was one of the first cds that I bought when I decided to go down the road of exploring classical music so it remains a favorite of mine. I'd still reach for the likes of the Hogwood or Pinnock boxsets most of the time but the performances of Bohm and the BPO are quite fine. Well worth the purchase.

Thanks Dave....Bohm is one of the older conductors that I do, eventually, intend to explore.

I think I read a few opinions over on CMG recently that Bohm was highly regarded in conducting Mozart.

EVERYTHING, that I have heard of Bohm has been hugely impressive, sadly I have few recordings of his.

How much classical music would you have on vinyl Seán?
I have about thirty LPs: including recent purchases of Mahler & Stravinsky and very old purchases that I collected as second hand records about thirty years ago.
