Three devine listening sessions in the one symphony.

Sean, have you just gone out and bought all those boxsets, or did you mean to post in the other thread?

have the latter two boxsets there btw, and love them both. Incidentally, what you're doing with LvB 1 at the moment, I'm doing with some of Brahms' chamber works, courtesy of Amadeus Qt, Beaux Arts & Qt Italiano..

I put then in the wrong thread, didn't I? It just goes to show how infrequently I post my listening habits, I'm out of touch. I'll relocate it, what a mope!

I think you'll agree, (Bach Cantatas notwithstanding) I've been rather restrained recently... however this arrived this morning, as I have been really rather intrigued to hear it...
