I like the sound of a consort of viols. On this CD the well played solo viol music is interspersed with songs sung by a soprano with a lovely, clear voice and an occasional track played on harpsichord and virginal. The sound is very good.

Re: What are you listening to?
Back to finish off listening to this set with Symphony no. 4, Finlandia and Karelia Suite....
The fourth symphony was another strong performance but was a bit too much on the “warm” side for me; I prefer the cold, bleak approach in Sibelius but it still comes recommended as these things are very subjective.
Finlandia was another strong performance but it lacked a certain drive even though it had a lot of drama in the performance.
The Karelia Suite was a lovely, lyrical affair in which the “warm” acoustic and treatment were very appropriate.
