These Seasons are still a top choice to me. I think they are a sort of ideal balance between old ensembles like I Musici and some bands like the Accademia Bizantina.

Looks really interesting,  please tell more!

Anyway, its cover is a weird choice for sacred works. Or am I the only person here seeing what I'm seeing?

Gordo, you have a filthy, depraved mind. I can assure you know one else sees anything even remotely suggestive about that lovely and tasteful cover.

Telemann - Voyageur Virtuose
Amarillis:
Héloïse Gaillard, artistic direction, baroque flute & oboe
Violaine Cochard, harpsichord
David Plantier, violin
Emmanuel Jacques, cello
Laura Monica Pustilnik, archluth



Top notch, as usual with this ensemble.

Guilty, I guess.

Vivaldi: Le Quattro Stagioni
Sonatori de la Gioiosa Marca
Giuliano Carmignola, violin

I know Carmignola has done a lot of excellent recordings after his departure from the Sonatori; but I have never enjoyed more his playing than when he played with them.

Totally agree. Those three discs are absolutely brilliant.

After hearing Eliahu Inbal live yesterday in a superb Gurrelieder here in Madrid, I've decided to take a trip down memory lane, and listen to a document of the first time I saw him conduct (actually, I saw this obscure opera some months after this 1981 perfromance, with another primadonna):

Now:





Listening to Petite Symphonie Concertante. So fantastic.

[ZauberdrachenNr.7]

Did I ever mention how much I love Haydn's VCs?  His first belongs in my Top Ten of VCs, but there's so much competition!  I know : I can decimalize my Top Ten and include everything I want to and ad infinitum!

Make it four, the subconscious works in strange ways...  it is I'm certain completely unintentional; this cover follows a design format for several of this group's releases.  It's also minimal enough to encourage seeing things that aren't there, rather like the desert.  The rose, btw, is a symbol of Mary.

Count me out!  I've been trying to figure out what you guys are seeing there, to no avail! Am I too naive?   

And yes, Rosa mystica is one of the many titles given to the Virgin Mary in the Litanies of Loreto...

Nope, you're a saint!  0:)
