I would love to get that, in fact I want to get EVERYTHING that Abbado has ever recorded.followed by Schubert's 'The Great' symphony.
I have not listened to that in a long time....I must give it a spin soon.DaveF wrote:
took a leaf out of your book Fergus and listened to this one today. For some reason I hardly ever listen to this symphony and so it was very refreshing to do so again. I echo everything you said above about the performance too.fergus wrote:Mendelssohn – Disc 2 – Symphony No. 2....

An escential purchase for anyone who likes chamer music imho. Couperin composed these for the Louis XIV's Sunday chamber music concerts. Beautifully played by Savall & Co here.
