That's a really excellent Müllerin. Did you get it recently? I have the impression that it was out of print.

Yes Ciaran I only got it fairly recently on Amazon marketplace used but in excellent condition....I too really liked it.

I have four versions, including that one, and I plan to play them all again in the near future....it is a great work.

Mahler – Symphony No. 1 & 10 (Adagio) [Bernstein]....



What a wonderful version of No. 1....full of explosive energy!
No. 10 (Adagio) was a wonderfully powerful and meditative performance. I thought that the strings sounded glorious.

Bruckner – Symphony No. 8 [Haitink]....



I found this to be a very powerful and exhilarating performance with wonderful sound and presence.

Josquin-Desprez – Messe Ave Maris Stella....



Beautiful, haunting music extremely well sung.

Josquin... wonderful. I'm pretty sure I have that CD on a wishlist somewhere. I've never heard anything sung by A Sei Voci, but reviews suggest they're good.

Quite a powerful performance here from Gergiev and the LSO. Recommended.

I really ought to add more Rachmaninov to my collection. I have various recordings of the Piano Concertos and Svetlanov's Symphonic Dances but nothing else I think. Svetlanov's cycle whom Sean has already recommended to me looks like a good bet. Any thoughts anyone?

Excellent presentation in terms of sound as well Ciaran....thoroughly recommended!
