According to the detailed Tracklist for that set on Amazon UK that is the 1981 version Seán.

Thanks, I will pass on that so.

Edit: see Bargain Thread!

Got it, thanks.

....light but charming.

Alas, I have yet to get any recordings of works by Boyce.

Here is another one for your list Seán LOL!!!





Beautiful music (a mixture of instrumental and vocal music on this CD) and a lovely recording.

I had a rare few moments in front of the speakers yesterday evening and very much enjoyed Schiff playing Schubert:



This morning, my wife asked me if I was listening to a piano disc or playing the piano myself. We'll arrange to see a doctor about her hearing asap.

Oh, what lovely complement, András Schiff would be please. If his Bach is anything to go by Schiff's Schubert music-making should be wonderful, I must get that set and compare and contrast it with my Kempff, Lupu & Clara Haskil recordings.

Wonderful music from the high Baroque period.

Listening to the Hyperion Vivaldi get mentioned in the other thread and I'm very happy. Lovely music aand recordings at a great price. What's not to like!?

I am delighted that you are enjoying the set Simon; it is indeed great music and great music making.

Somehow I always gravitate towards Richter for the Schubert sonatas. Granted, Schiff is wonderful and he tends to be the artist I listen to for Bach on the piano. Your post makes me prone to check listen to Schiff playing Schubert!!!! :)

I have never heard about Brescianello!! (so much to learn about the music from the Baroque period!!!). Thanks for showcasing it Fergus. What does it compare to in the realm of more "known" works?
