JSB – English Suites Nos. 4-6 [Leonhardt]....
I like Leonhardt’s playing; I think that he always puts the music first.

Mozart – Exsultate Jubilate & Motets....
I think that this is wonderful music. I love the way the uniquely Mozartian themes busily play away in the background as a counterpoint to the wonderful vocal score. I also love listening to Emma Kirkby singing.

Listened to the 9th. A very impressive performance. I dug out the Kubelik version afterwards and I think I prefer the Kertesz. Makes me wonder if I made the wrong choice a good while back in choosing the Kubelik over the Kertesz boxset not that the former is bad, far from it. Does anyone here have the Kertesz set?

I don't Dave but it is on my Wish List as I think that it would be interesting to have both sets.DaveF wrote:

Included is the wonderfully triumphant BWV63 which is always uplifting to listen to.
