Well made music I think.Seán wrote:
Samuel Zyman
Concerto No. 2 for flute and orchestra
Marisa Canales - Flute
Orquesta de las Américas
Benjamin Juárez Echenique conducting.
This is a rousing and beautiful work by the Mexican composer Samuel Zyman and is performed wonderfully here by flautist Marisa Canales (what a gorgeous tone she has) and Orquesta de las Américas all under the direction of Benjamin Juárez Echenique. I LOVE it.

Antonín Dvořák
Slavonic Dances op. 46 & op. 72
Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks
Rafael Kubelik conducting.
When I bought this cd many moons ago I was very disappointed with it as I thought the music was dull and repetitous but I was wrong and, with repeated listening, it has grown on me. The performances are WONDERFUL.
It shared for decades with Szell´s version the #1 recommendation for the dances. Now Harnoncourt joins them as a first recommendation.
Re: What are you listening two?
This is a compilation CD which ultimately led me to explore the different composers contained therein. The music is wonderful, the performances are terrific and the sound world is enchanting. It is a great introduction to Early Music and a strong recommendation even simply as a good general listen.

No BAL this morning and Andrew's choice of music from 9.30 does not interest me; the girls have gone out shopping for the day so the house is full of the wonderful sound of:
Ludwig van Beethoven
Symphony No. 7
Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra
Claudio Abbado conducting.
Perfection in the art of music-making.
Ludwig van Beethoven
Symphony No. 7

I am following in the footsteps of my illustrious mentor, Mister Byrne:
Joseph Haydn
Symphony No. 82 & 83
Concentus musicus Wien
Nikolaus Harnoncourt conducting.
These are lovely performances by this Viennese orchestra; but all the repeats, a tad over done perhaps, but it is a very enjoyable listening experience none the less. I rarely listen to these recordings because of the length of the performances.

Recent conversation at home with my wonderful wife:
Seán: "Julie (my sister) was amazed to learn that I have more than two thousand CDs! I thought she knew that."
Wonderful Wife: "More than two thousand? How many have you got?"
Seán (the amadán didn't see it coming) "I have about 2,400."
Wonderful Wife: "You have two-thousand-four-hundred CDs, my God!"
Faeces!
