Ahh, Boult's Vaughan Williams is where I tend to go as well.

Rameau: Les Fetes d'Hebe      Sarah Connolly, Jean-Paul Fouchécourt, Sophie Daneman, Paul Agnew, Thierry Félix
Les Arts Florissants/Christie

Entering the waters of Jean-Philippe Rameau's 250 anniversary with "Les Fetes d'Hebe". I now find myself in Rameau's crystalline tonal beauty thanks to Peter Power Pop's insistent and passionate posts in the French Baroque thread.

Finally listening to Karajan's 1963 Beethoven cycle. I've had it for several months, but for some reason delayed putting it on.  No complaints thus far.

I understand that the '63 HvK has given general satisfaction

To be honest, I long suffered from a strange Karajan antipathy. I'm not 100% sure why.  However, Ken and Moonfish nudged me (violently) in the direction of his 1960s big DG box, and of course they were quite right.  I've liked everything I've heard so far, even stuff I put on specifically because I thought I wouldn't like it (HvK epically un-HIP Baroque).

Another fine gift from Jeffrey, by a conductor, of which I had not a single recording....

Wow!  No Lenny yet?  This is a great inaugural taste!

I shall look at home for the booklet, mijn vriend, and I can send you a PDF.

That would be great Karl, I would really appreciate it.

What do you think of it, Sadko? I quite enjoy Levinas's Beethoven (on CD and live earlier this year)...I think he is a rather astonishing musician...

This the first Levinas recording I'm hearing, and I don't find it so interesting, not bad, but not a must-have either.

Remarkable enough, this moment was caught on film. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ReNavhcXUYk
