Re: What are you listening to?
I totally agree Pepe; even from a financial point of view there must be a considerable difference in the market between the two or perhaps the Quatuor Mosaïques are going on their well earned reputation at this stage and promoting the music that they particularly like?Jose Echenique wrote: I can´t understand why the incomparable Quatuor Mosaïques left so much Mozart, Haydn and Beethoven unrecorded and are now turning to minor composers.

This is another lavish product and presentation in every way. The performances from both the singers and musicians are once again wonderful in this assertive but not driven performance.

I have to say that I had not until recently actually heard of William Mundy, but there are some really delightful harmonies on this disk:

Sean, all of Karajan's 80's output (and some of his earlier work) has recently been released in this 5CD set at a budget price:Seán wrote: Alas, I don't have much to spin, I will have to fix that.
If you own very little on here, then it would certainly be worth the purchase.
Re: What are you listening to?
Thanks Jared, I am currently mulling over the Kempe or Reiner sets. I don't have any Kempe recordings and I do like the Dresden orchestra so they are ahead by a whisker.Jared wrote:Sean, all of Karajan's 80's output (and some of his earlier work) has recently been released in this 5CD set at a budget price:Seán wrote: Alas, I don't have much to spin, I will have to fix that.

Re: What are you listening to?
I would personally put von Karajan before Kempe in Strauss. Kempe is excellent but von Karajan has the essence of the music. Either way you will not go wrong Seán....I will be watching this spot!Seán wrote:Thanks Jared, I am currently mulling over the Kempe or Reiner sets.

This is intense but beautiful music. It is beautifully sung and it is recorded in a lovely acoustic which enhances the performance even more.
