I listened to it a couple of times on YouTube and I was less than impressed by this work. I was hoping I would like it.fergus wrote:Reich: Music for 18 Musicians....

Agreed Seán. It is an interesting work which needs severe editing, revision and musical development and then it would be seriously exciting.

A work well within Seán's comfort zone and close to his heart; Schubert's Death and the Maiden String Quartet....

Well, I am in Edinburgh for a few days this week and far away from my collection so I have to be content with the pleasure of others, enjoy.fergus wrote:The wonderful Sibelius Symphony No. 2....
Is that a good performance (although, we don't always want the same in performances of these marvellous works). I am curious to learn what you make of it.

Re: What are you listening two?
I've been on a deep dive into the recordings of Fabio Biondi and Europa Galante in the last couple of weeks and very satisfying it was.
Both he and they display a high standard of musicality; performing with imagination, invention, verve and a passion often missing from many other outfits and putting them firmly in my all time favourite musicians.
This recording was just one of the many outstanding performances which I heard during this trawl and is strongly recommended.

Yes I did enjoy it Sean; it was a strong performance. I am partial to Monteux and I find that he does not often disappoint.
Enjoy Edinburgh!

I would endorse your sentiments regarding Biondi and Europa Galante in general Mark. They are a wonderful ensemble and always seem to bring something new to old works.
