Sibelius Symphony no. 6 from



Gosh I am happy with my purchase. A superb cycle so far!!! And I only pay $20 for it (brand new)

Next, I don't what are your thoughts on Prokofiev but his music is growing on me a lot and I am thinking of expanding my collection of his music,
Today I listened to his Violin Concerto no. 1 from



And his second Violin Concerto is so amazing too. I am telling you, if you are not familiar with these two concertos and you feel like something new, these two works have my vote.

Glory to Sergei Prokofiev !!!!

Seán is a big fan of Prokofiev Matt so he should be able to guide you there.

I love Boccherini's music, Dave does too I seem to remember. That recording might turn up in one of the Harmonia Mundi box sets, I'll keep my eyes peeled for it.
