This is lovely music that is beautifully played and presented. The ensemble sounds rich in tone and I particularly like the continuo playing.

Lovely light music that is well played.

A particular favourite of mine Darren....did you like it?

To be honest Fergus, I still haven't found a recording of Bruckner's 3rd that I really like. It's a nice piece, and I adore Bruckner, but maybe it just isn't meant to be between us.... ;-)

which I find is quite a powerful performance.

^^ I have that Wand recording in the box set. I'll try that next. Thanks Fergus

personally, I have quite a soft spot for the Tintner, in all it's unpolished, unedited, brassy glory...



^^ following Fergus' lead...

Cheers Darren. Do let me know what you think of it if you listen to it again, even if you do not like it. I will be curious.
