This is a work that I have come to like very much of late and this is a good performance and interpretation.
Fergus, are you starting to enjoy Dvorak then?

Beethoven – Music for Wind Instruments....

This is a particular favourite of mine as the music is beautiful; full of melody and rich in wonderful harmonies, counterpoint and textures.

Handel: Italian Cantatas....

The music on this collection was wonderful and I enjoyed the performances of Kirkby and the sensitive accompaniment of the AAM.

It is really lovely music Seán, not, I admit, what would pop into one's mind when thinking of LvB but definitely worth exploring!
