Well done Sir! Many hours of listening pleasure await you....I am sure that you will enjoy every moment of it.

^^ when my bank balance has finally got over the shock...

btw, did you ever invest in Hickox's 3 CDs of Hummel Masses on Chandos?

structurally, there are a lot of similarities with Haydn's Masses (same era, obviously) however they just aren't as well known or recorded. Personally, I think they represent Hummel at his finest, and they are delightful in their own right. I can't help feeling that this is the sort of repertoire where Richard Hickox and his wife Susan Gritton excelled.. and in doing so, they did Hummel proud..

Sorry Jared, I misread your original post....I have bought 2 of the 3 CDs; the one that I have not bought is the one above (which is high on the Wish List!).
