Now:



Listening to Symphony No. 7, earlier I went through Nos. 10-12. I'm working my backwards, so it seems, through Milhaud's symphonies.

Good, late romantic stuff.

I love Jongen's SQs! They combine chromatic Franckian romanticism with delicate Ravelian impressionism in a most compelling way. No. 3 (on another Cypres disc) is especially impressive.

Surprisingly enough, the cover "design" is actually a colorized photo of Siegfried in a real Swedish Opera production of the Ring.

It was probably the first interpretation of Mozart's keyboard concertos that I ever listened to.

I had wanted to purchase this set for a long time, as I have always found these interpretations simply delightful. But for some reason, I haven't purchased it until now, after other seven complete sets.   

Hear Ya!  I've had this set for a while (also probably a half dozen different boxes of these works) but the slow movement of #21 (from the film Elvira Madigan) from the late 1960s was one of my early introductions to classical music & Mozart - still enjoy!  Dave

It's an extremely interesting set. It sounds canonical and fresh and "personal" at the same time.

Now listening to disk 1: Concertos 6, 8 & 9, the latter an absolute favorite of mine.
