Philip Sainton: The Island

David Wilson-Johnson, baritone

I was unexpectedly blown away by Sainton's The Island, and Hadley's Trees really came together at its conclusion.

O, yes a fine recording, I love listening to these works, and the other Lyrita recording too.

Faure: Violin Sonata No 2. Zino Francescatti, Robert Casadesus

I think this is outstanding despite the vibrato. Casadesus seems pretty perfect to me.

Last night Brahms PT #2, Florestan... you know despite having listened to this work many, many times over the years... it was strangely new and unfamiliar to me last night



And Op 18 #4-6 Smetana Q

[Irons]

I think this is outstanding despite the vibrato. Casadesus seems pretty perfect to me.

A salient point. Francescatti's vibrato is an issue.

[Roasted Swan]

Excellent collection very well played

[Florestan]

Excellent collection very well played

Indeed, the whole series is a treasure trove.

Klaartje is not my kind of Soprano, to put it mildly.

Yes, same here...
