These two works are very well played and sung and the recording is very good as well. This recording is my first exposure to Zelenka’s music and I found it both very interesting and exciting; I liked the particular blend of vocal and instrumental lines that gives this composer a voice of his own. There was great drive and presence in the music and indeed the performances; a very fine recording!

Welcome back, Jared....I hope that you enjoyed your break!
I am pleased that you enjoyed the Barenboim as that is a contender for me in the future.

I would of course, also post something meaningful in this thread too, but alas, I'm half way through the fourth round of this cycle... and I'm sure you don't want to see the box again, do you?

Fergus, you can never have enough versions of the Sibelius VC in your life... is that a particularly good one?

I like it Jared, but then I have a bias towards von Karajan with Sibelius; I like his hard nosed accounts of the music.
