and Richard Strauss as we (well Fergus actually) celebrate(s) his 150th Anniversary, Strauss was born in June 1864.

Yep, Solti's recording with the CSO is a splendid Rite.

This is the third volume of Haydn symphonies with Bruno Weil and the excellent Cappella Coloniensis, superbly played and recorded they are certainly recommendable. It´s good to see the Cappella Coloniensis is still going strong. I´m not sure when it was founded, but I have recordings that date back to the 60´s. Anyhow, really excellent, stylish performances.

Dear Pepe, I am ashamed to say that I have never heard any of their recordings.

That´s strange Seán, since they have recorded plenty in the past 5 decades. Notable conductors like William Christie have recorded with them (Hasse´s Cleofide), and they made pioneer recordings of many works (the first EVER recordings of Rossini´s operas with period instruments: Tancredi, Cenerentola and L´ Italiana in Algeri). Of course they play much better now than in the 60´s, but it´s good to see that they are still going strong.
