Lovely music, beautifully played.

do you rate this set, Darren? The Florestans are usually very good... I might like a future back-up for the Beaux Arts I've just purchased..

J.S. Bach - Orchestral Suite No.1 (Karl Munchinger, Stuttgart Chamber Orchestra, Decca Eloquence)

I think you would like it Jared. I like what I have of the Florestan Trio and this set is up to those same high standards.

It's one of Debussy's pieces that has passed me by a bit, no matter how much I listen to it. This is a masterful performance though and has made the piece really stand out for me

Borodin - Symphony No.2 (Gerard Schwarz, Seattle Symphony, Naxos)

^^ I do like Borodin 2, Darren... I have several versions of it actually, my fave probably being the afterthought on the back end of Scheherezade:

Yes, that's one of my favourite CD's in my collection. I am glad it has some other fans too!

Mine too, for Scheherezade rather than Borodin.
