^^ Good evening, Dave.. :-)

I have to say, I do enjoy a stint of folk song and lieder, and these are exceptionally fine...



I'm not sure if I own a disk where ASvO is in quite such fine voice...

LOL

Maybe we should save ourselves a bit of bother....we could place our respective orders with Amazon and MDT and the Queen could bring them with her for us to collect!!

as you can imagine, I have no others with which to compare it against... however the PG was kind to it (maybe no surprise there tbh) and I think its pretty good... but then, Quasthoff and von Otter can hide a multitude of sins...

just to drive home the point, I'm giving it another spin...

^^ absolutely ravishing, Fergus... :-)

This was indeed a powerful performance, particularly movements nos. 3 and 4.
