The Clarinet Concerto!

ah lovely! I have both the cd and vinyl copies.

That must sound lovely on vinyl, Dave!

Missa Aeterna Christi Munera

Mahler 6/CSO/Solti. A long time since I listened to this (the last time it was on vinyl), and even better than I remembered. Solti really has something in Mahler!

Missa “Assumpta est Maria”

Monteverdi's Vespers with L'Arpegiatta under Christina Pluhar.

Absolute heaven: one-to-a-part fast speeds, it all dances.

I some other records of L'Arpegiatta under Christina Pluhar and I was afraid that it might be gimmicky, but I was wrong! Maybe my favourite Vespers now.

I agree.

Interesting one Ciaran!
