I have a small number of performances by the London Mozart Players and I like the ensemble Darren. I would be interested to read your thoughts on those performances when you have completed them.

Wow! I have just made a discovery of a new work thanks to



The ballet Orpheus by Stravinsky. The performance from the box set is conducted by Stravinsky himself with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra.
I used to think that there wasn't much else to Stravinsky other than the main three ballets, his 3 "symphonies", pulcinella, and l'histoire d'un soldat. But now I realized how wrong I was. It is indeed a beautiful piece. I never thought that Stravinsky could compose such calm, relaxing and light music. So much to discover!!!
