I listened to the BAT playing Mendelssohn this morning.  Not typical listening for me, but I enjoyed it.  Those trios were the first tracks in this box:

Very fine release; I am enjoying it very much. ;)

Nope, sorry.   :)

Not a big Savall myself, and I've shied away from him tackling English repertoire after trying his Purcell - out of character IMO.

But the Naxos set is very good. Daniel Taylor's contribution is worth the pricd of admission alone.

Not yet, but I will!  :)

Absolutely, and do not forget that there are two volumes involved and you will want both  :)

Beethoven, The Ruins of Athens

First listen underway now. The texts appear to be a little less embarrassingly dated than for King Stephen.
I am now working on a discography of the works of Vagn Holmboe. Please visit and also contribute!

Lepo Sumera. The only time I saw him live, was in the Summer of 1995. In Tallinn, I saw him dancing leisurely - literally so - in the Kloostri Ait, with a band playing folk music. Our company was small, but I saw no reason to talk with him - though I knew his symphonies already - and so I didn't. Five years later I read the news of his untimely death.
... music is not only an 'entertainment', nor a mere luxury, but a necessity of the spiritual if not of the physical life, an opening of those magic casements through which we can catch a glimpse of that country where ultimate reality will be found.    RVW, 1948

Beethoven, Symphony No.8.  Possibly my favourite.

Very nice, indeed. Glad you enjoy the music. I need to revisit these works myself as it's been far too long.
