Ah, you must've done it by mistake. There was a [audio][/audio] thingy in your post to me. You must have accidentally put it in there.

Probably. I had no idea I had done it. Whatever that was ! :o

My consort music  vinyls on Turnabout labels, both of the, Charles V AND Henry VIII is always a must ear and own, consort music of Burgundy and England was excellent, Paul van Nevel and Mr.Rice would agree...

Spectacular singing from Fagioli. What a virtuoso, and what a voice ! The orchestra (PI) is exceptional, too.

Part of the tragedy of the Palestinians is that they have essentially no international support for a good reason: they've no wealth, they've no power, so they've no rights.

Trying to think who would give you more spirituality.  Perhaps Giulini/Vienna, Jochum/Dresden, Karajan/Berlin (EMI or DG), or Sanderling.

Go with HvK and the Berliners on EMI or DG. You can't go wrong here.

Yes, Karajan/DG is my reference recording and there is a noticeable difference with the Haitink. The slow movement on the Karajan has the depth and expressivity I cherish.

Symphony No. 5

An impressive yet a little slow performance. The 1st movement is superb on this recording: bold, accentuated and imposing.

Interesting. I bought this cycle when it first came out, but I haven't spent hardly enough time with this set. Let me ask you, what do you think about Litton's Prokofiev recordings on BIS?

Okay, this is really good. Going on the shopping list I think.

Ralph Vaughan Williams: Dona Nobis Pacem. Robert Spano, Atlanta Symphony Orchestra & Chorus

This is a real tear-jerker of a work, and one of my favorites from RVW along with the Pastoral Symphony. This is a really committed performance. Surely one of the highlights of Spano's long tenure here in Atlanta, which is coming to a close with the upcoming season. What a lame note to end off on, having to cancel the bulk of two incredible seasons of inspired programming and what was sure to be brilliant performances. Breaks my heart.
I have that CD and it's a nice combination of works although I could have done without another Lark.

Sounds right up my street indeed! A sort of Irish late-Romantic funeral march. Thanks, Jeffrey. I enjoyed that piece.
Excellent! Thought you would Cesar  :)

Going thru this. I got it for the pianism, which holds up, but the orchestra is also surprisingly good, well balanced interpretively and sonically.

Morning listening - a Spotify discovery:



A double set from 2005 reissuing a recording from 1991, that I never saw before.
A hotchpotch of familiar and unfamiliar repertoire.
Doesn't sound Spanish/Hispanic at all, but well sung and a pleasure to listen to - even if only once.  :)
