I was listening to that second one last night which I had just got in the post (I was ordering from MDT and I noticed it was the last day of their sale on the Naïve label and bought half a dozen of this excellent series). Really delightful!!

One odd thing is that the works involving lute were recorded some years before those involving mandolin. Also they must be using double-tracking, as Rolf Lislevand is the only mandolin player credited and some involve two mandolins. In any case, the two concertos I listened to were ravishing!

The Naïve part of yesterday's big parcel:



Do I need an excuse to get another CD of Sara Mingardo in Vivaldi's Gloria? I think not!!







I do love the Naïve Vivaldi Edition! Below more Vivaldi, not in the Edition, together with what I think might have been Lise de la Salle's debut CD:

some great purchases there Ciaran. I'd be interest to hear what you think of the Gloria and the Concerti per Flauto.

I must listen closely to that disc then, Ciaran.
Lovely batch of cds there Ciaran.....I will own the Naive ones eventually too.

I bought a copy of these CDs in Tower today:

I have that one Seán and very good it is. One of favorite period ensembles too.

I also have it Seán along with the following set 88-92.
I will be interested to see what you think after the Dorati versions.

More from my recent MDT order (also featuring on "What are you listening to?"):



Weckmann cantatas



Weckmann cantatas and harpsichord music.



Harpsichord music from Hamburg. Some Weckmann.



German Baroque cantatas. Some Weckmann.



Martha Argerich and Nelson Freire in a live two-piano recital given recently at the Salzburg Festival, including the wonderful Brahms S. Anthony Variations. No Weckmann!

Any chance you could make the second image above a bit bigger Ciaran? I can hardly see it! :-P ;-)
That Weckmann Harpsichord disc looks interesting. I might check that one out myself.
