My first visit to the symphonic world of Scriabin. On first listen I thoroughly enjoyed Symphony No. 1 with its very fine choral ending.

I think it's a great set. Scriabin's music is delightful and the PO under Muti's direction certainly do it justice. It has fared well on BAL too.

Britten: Cello Suites Nos. 1-3....

This is completely new music to me. I found it to be wonderful and intriguing. There are some searchingly dark moments in this beautiful music. I do not know of the crllist [Rohan de Saram] but the music is well played [and recorded].

I do like Julian Bream.

I am really enjoying this BAL from February 2014:
Mozart: Divertimento for String Trio in E Flat Major, K563
Misha Donat recommends a version from the recordings of Mozart's Divertimento for String Trio in E-flat K563.

The Grumiaux Trio received the number one recommendation and were followed by the Leopold String Trio.

What a really tremendous work this opera is and it is given a wonderful performance here. I really liked the performances of the vocalists.

Thank you for that Seán; I will give that a listen for sure.
