It's a spectacular photo. Great light and depth of field and perfectly suited to the title.

Ha ha! Even smaller! (Not so spectacular now, is it?)  :D

Seriously, BIS is hit and miss but this one is a bulls eye. We have an awful covers thread. Where's the great covers one?

This should be interesting. I like Locatelli a lot. Unfortunately, the only recording I own is with Fabio Biondi on the Opus 111 label. A great recording though.

So why is it an unfortunate situation?

Speaking of Locatelli,  there's a single CD of selected concertos from Op. 2 (I think, don't have the CD handy) on Harmonia Mundi, performed by the Freiburgers.

I've waited a very long time for a follow up to that disc. I don't feel the urge to sit with half of the op 2, however much I love the Freiburgers. Sometimes I don't understand record companies.

Also a bunch of Kertesz reissues that has been hard to find outside of Japan.  I already have the Dvorak 9 with the VPO (which preceded the LSO Dvorak set by a few years) and the Wind Serenade on a Japanese issue, and recommend it highly.
