I only have the odd disc in Belohlavek Chandos recordings - I think they are very good but not a significant improvement on what you have already. I am interested in Belohlavek's recent cycle with the BBCSO though....Seán wrote:Do you like that set Darren?

^^ It sure is!
I think it came out last year. I remember it got some good reviews at the time.
I am waiting for the price to come down a bit more ;-)

Warm greetings from Dublin to Canada Matt....you are very welcome here to this small corner of the world.ravel30 wrote:Greetings everybody!!!!
I listened to the superb Symphonie Fantastique and the Carnival Overture by Berlioz with the LSO conducted by Colin Davis
Davis is a fantastic Berlioz conductor, in my opinion.
Regards,
Matt.
I absolutely agree with you on Davis/Berlioz. I also think that it is a magical combination. Now, if my memory serves me correctly, you are a starving student living in a garret etc. but if you can scrape a few dollars together and can track down a cheap copy of this box set then you are in for a delight....
Post as often as you can Matt as I always enjoyed reading your take on what you were listening to.
