No, it was the Schubert symphony box, his complete symphonies, yikes!
I shudder when I remember...... :P

Poor you... Btw, you didn't write a Concerto, but a Fantasy. I just checked. It was your opus 3. Your opus 2 is the Concerto for Cavalry, Kavakos and Vänskä.

Excellent! Let us know how you like this.

Listened to disc 1. Like it a lot, but have not fully enjoyed them yet. That requires more listening.

Awhh, good you remember me of it, I thought I did destroy all my scribblings.  ;D

This one again.

I'm not a praticular Telemann fan, but this is great and exuberant music making by the old HIP bunch from the Low Countries: the Kuijken brothers and Gustav. You can tell they had a great time here.  :)

PS. I'm listening to the violin/piano reduction of both versions at the moment, as performed by Sato/Gräsbeck.


I heard an extract from this on radio3 the other day. I liked the bit I heard, is it good? would you recommend it? I believe it had other violin /piano works by Sibelius too .

I think for anyone who is into Baroque this is a great buy - most of the discs in this Jubilee set are OOP and not available or only at rip-off prices.

Great to see that you've enjoyed it as much as I do, Harry! :)
Although I'm a bit behind you in listening.... ;D

What type of subscription do you have, and are you satisfied with the sound quality?

Just renewed my subscription.  I have the reported "CD quality" type.  Costs quite a bit.

I have a "Near CD quality" subscription which comes as a perk with a Kansas City Symphony season subscription.

I think sound quality is ok. I don't make a big deal of it but I am partially hearing impaired especially in frequency due to a severe ear infection years ago that damaged my ear drum and nerves plus left me with tinnitus. I have to turn treble way up to hear anything so anyone else listening to my music would think it is high and thin. Thus I am a poor judge of sound.

The service is invaluable for browsing and exploring. If I would not get a Symphony subscription I would pay for the service. It is expensive, but less costly than buying a CD on a whim, listening to it once and consigning it to the library to gather dust.

That's terrible, donaldopato, especially for such an evident music lover as yourself.

It is good. The whole set, while not containing any masterpieces, is very enjoyable and everything is very well performed.
