Dave is a man of cultured refinement Jared and does not easily rise to yobs like us....besides, he is too busy moving his equipment around and building barricades before domestic warfare breaks out soon!!!

Not only do I think that it is a magnificent piece of music but it evokes many memories of holidays spent in the Austrian Tyrol, the Swiss Alps and the Italian Dolomites. I have ascended those slopes, been in those woods and meadows, seen those magical waterfalls, wondered at the magnificent sights from those summits and been caught in those exhilarating storms!

I hover between the Hogwood and the Malgoire versions as my favourite in that work Dave.

there's a little more of the fjords, rivers and the majestic, rocky outcrops in this music, too...

I have that one too Fergus. A work that I've found difficult to 'get' sometimes. Jordi Savall has a very interesting version that's done for stringed instruments.
