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?

Yes indeed Seán....this is a direct result of buying the Kertész cycle some time ago.

Tonight I went for another good performance; this time No. 2....

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

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