ponderous by way of comparison with Rachel Podger! Sublime playing of its type Fergus, but as you say, from a different age...

Thank you Fergus, I hope you enjoyed it. Wasn't she wonderful? I was listening to Haskil playing with Griumiaux earlier today, beautiful!
She had a gossamer touch Seán!

Yes Jared, it is important to always bear that in mind.

agreed, my friend...
now this set is rather good:
recorded on the now defunct Denon label 20 years ago by a conductorless 12 strong ensemble 'I Solistri Italiani', who play on modern instruments, but there is a joyous lightness of touch and bouyancy required for these works... a 99p bargain, and quite satisfying.

The quality of my image is not great but this one is Hindemith himself conducting the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra in his Mathis Der Maler....
