Could well be my nominees for best music he ever wrote, Karlo.

This does indeed sound very good! Listening to it now since I had to stop earlier.

That was probably the same recording I was listening to last week.  Albeit, I think it is in stereo?

Szell's 55/56 Jupiter is mono; the 63/64 Jupiter stereo. I listened to the former.

Good evening, Daniel!
Excellent, I'm sure Bedford and LSO fare well in this music.

This does indeed sound very good! Listening to it now since I had to stop earlier.

At last I can listen to this uninterrupted.

Very nice, Daniel. I own that whole Bedford series and it's superb. What other Britten recordings do you own?

It's time to begin listening to my favorite holiday music, Karolju by Christopher Rouse.

Great CD! Karolju is such a vibrant and uplifting work.

[Mandryka]

As I'm listening I'm conscious of the range of emotions he finds in the music. But maybe more interestingly, the way he handles the interrelationships between the musical lines.

There's an idea of the Bach scholar Susan McClary which really formed my tastes. She argues that when you're playing Bach, the "performer has to be aware of the fault lines in the pieces (. . . the individual components . . . to render them so as to make their individual qualities of forward motion heard), and then to appear to transcend them by sheer force of will and ingenuity. "

Well I think Leonhardt achieves this both here and in his DHM Goldberg Variations.
