I finished off my long, lazy weekend of listening with R Strauss: Disc 3 from this set which includes Ein Heldenleben and Tod und Verklarung....
I must say that I have enjoyed this box set.

Am I ever going to get the hang of Shostakovich 15? I've been trying for decades!! This is a recent "Building a Library" winner and I enjoyed parts of it, but at times it just left me behind!
On to a very successful recent purchase:
The complete Beethoven violin sonatas played by Isabelle Faust and Alexander Melnikov. This evening I listened to the `Kreutzer' Sonata with great pleasure.
And finally:
Debussy's Syrinx for solo flute, played by Emmanuel Pahud. Debussy is extraordinary, just so unlike any other composer. I love this!

That's my one and only set of Bach's Cantatas. I bought it a couple of years ago on Ciaran's recommendation, I think that the music is wonderful.fergus wrote:JSB – the beautiful Cantata BWV158 for Easter Tuesday played here by The Bach Ensemble / Rifkin....
