Jordí Savall working his magic with Biber's Requiem in A major recorded live in the vast acoustic of Salzburg Cathedral, where it was first performed. Brilliantly vivid sound picture, very joyous music (for a requiem!).

The Quartetto Italiano and Maurizio Pollini playing the Brahms Piano Quintet. Inspired!
Some of the CDs I've been listening to lately have things I used to have on LP. This is one I tried really hard to get on LP, but everything was being deleted around the time I was collecting and I never got it until now.

A very nice Mahler 3: Michelle DeYoung and the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra conducted by Jesús López-Cobos. Really good, both performance and sound. What a pity Telarc has become a zombie label!

I would definitely be interested in hearing that one Ciaran!Ciaran wrote:

I had considered buying that one Ciaran but I was unsure as I have not heard anything conducted by López-Cobos so your comments are interesting!Ciaran wrote:

Górecki – Symphony No. 3....
Although the Zinmann/Upshaw version is very good I have always preferred the Naxos version over the Nonesuch one. To me the Naxos version is more devotional and the voice of the soprano Zofia Kilanowicz is more heart-felt, haunting and ethereal than that of Dawn Upshaw.
