Re: What are you listening to?
The organ sound from the one here in Saint Ouen was recommended to me and it certainly doesnt disappoint. Right up there with St Sulpice to my amatuer ears anyway.

Re: What are you listening to?
Thank you Jared. That set has long been on my Wish List.Jared wrote:Barenboim & Beethoven sells itself Fergus... the cycle is uniformly excellent, although admittedly the sound quality is not quite up to the same standard of his later set on DG... I'm very pleased indeed however to have it in my collection (it had 5 complete listens through, with some sonatas receiving more) and is a cycle I will no doubt be returning to repeatedly...fergus wrote:I am curious to know what you ultimately thought of the Baremboim sonata cycle Jared.Jared wrote: Sonatas put to one side this morning, the coming week will be a consideration of the Bagatelles & Diabellis...

This is wonderful music with magnificent performances from the singers (both choral and solo) and the instrumentalists. The recorded sound is very good as well which does great justice to the voices and instruments.

Re: What are you listening to?
you've been listening to some very intriguing music of late Fergus, and this disk is no exception... certainly you aren't going to go far wrong with the either artists or label in question...fergus wrote:

Re: What are you listening to?
I am stuck working at the computer a lot lately Jared and I am taking the chance to play some of my older stuff. One can sometimes get caught up in the new purchases sometimes; it is a good thing to step back and take down some of the "have not listened to in a while" discs.Jared wrote: you've been listening to some very intriguing music of late Fergus, and this disk is no exception... certainly you aren't going to go far wrong with the either artists or label in question...

very wise words indeed, Fergus... I think it's been over a year since I played a Sibelius Symphony... which I otherwise adore... :-//fergus wrote: One can sometimes get caught up in the new purchases sometimes; it is a good thing to step back and take down some of the "have not listened to in a while" discs.
