Sibelius: Violin Concerto     Heifetz/Chicago SO/Hendl

Intense (as usual) - but I do have a soft spot for Hahn's recording.

Welcome to Gran Partita's Anonymous.  :D   Still my favourite Mozart work, and I love this set!   :)

Thread duty, Brahms Symphony 4, James Loughran from 1974 with the Halle Orchestra.
This was the first and for years only Brahms 4th I had. I found it again on BRO for $3. The orchestra cannot match the big ones, and the sound has issues, but I have always really liked this reading, the tempi and the aura of dignified ardor. Welcome back, old friend.

Some good stuff in these. Predictably (?) I like the first one better.

Thanks Harry for the Sweelinck keyboard recommendation - looks like a great box, but seems to be OOP -  :(

Amazon USA MP had 'new' offerings starting @ about $160 & used ones about 30 bucks less - will add to my wish list, though.  Dave :)

Amazon DE has it, new and at the regular price:

Was this yet another recommendation I picked up from the recitals-thread? Or did I just bump into it looking for more "Masterworks Heritage" releases? Not sure even though I only got it last week ... too many things in my head. The Sayao I should also get soon ... already have the Steber.

Lily Pons was a wonderful singer and actor - be sure to see That Girl from Paris (1936) if you haven't yet.
