Fauré - Requiem/Messe des pêcheurs

Petits Chanteurs de Saint-Louis/Paris Chapelle Royale Chorus - Philippe Herreweghe

Agnès Mellon, Peter Kooy, Pierre Boumard - Harmonia Mundi

For me, this is top of the pile as Faure Requiem's go.  Superlative textured playing, the best I have heard so far.

Liszt Hungarian Rhapsodies
Jeno Jando

Among the living interpreters of Franz Liszt, Arnaldo Cohen, Kemal Gekic, and Jeno Jando may well be the Holy Trinity.

Beautiful, isn't it? I have it in a different issue, paired with Franck's Symphony in D.

Try the version on Naxos - very intimate.

Mark - just an aside - do you own anything other than Naxos recordings?

Ha ha. Funny man.

How many countless recordings on other labels do I have to post about before people realise that my non-Naxos CDs HEAVILY outweight the Naxos ones?

Not your fault - you've not been around here long enough to appreciate this. If you want to know who has MORE Naxos CDs, may I point you in Harry's direction?

Yes, the Naxos version too is a winner, Summerly/Oxford Camerata perform the work beautifully.
Messe basse, Pièces de fantaisie, Suite No. 1, Tantum ergo all previously unheard fillers too!!

Nowt wrong with Naxos, is there
