I am glad that it finally arrived with you....and in one piece!

Dave has been listening to this recently. It's good: interesting harpsichord, lots of different registrations, a thing which had gone quite out of fashion.





Abbado's Pergolest Year series: so far I've listened to the Stabat Mater which is very fine.







Volumes III and IV of this wonderful continuing series of Bach Concertos from Café Zimmermann. So far each volume has had a Brandenburg, and some have had an Orchestral Suite and each has a variety of other concertos. The performances are fizzing with energy and life.



The latest CD from Anna Netrebko: a live recital of songs by Rimsky-Korsakov and Tchaikovsky accompanied on the piano by Daniel Barenboim.
