Its a lovely piece for sure  - I need to get to know this set better: It is excellent and I have only played it through a couple of times since getting it

Böhm BPO in Mozart is quite unfashionable these days. These particular interpretations are simply peerless.

Now playing this CD from my relatively small Boccherini collection ...

[Harry]

The 18 minute string trio is a really very fine work. Superb performances and sound.

Agreed on all counts.

[Lethevich]

I must be an alien, then.

Yep, he's buried himself into your central nervous system and has implanted his spores - no going back now 0:)

I always play that last movement when I want to be in a certain 'visionary' mood for my writing...

That is definitely a good word to describe the feeling of the closing (and possibly also opening) movements - I get slight Nimrodisms from them.

Keemun - I'm going to go through the earlier ones too, as I have neglected them, save for the 6th.

[Coopmv]

Is Herreweghe any good for non-baroque works?  I read a rather unsavory review of one of his recordings of classic works.  It was either some Beethoven or Schumann symphony ...

Oh well, I was never into fashion anyways - fashion is highly overrated.

I don't give a shit.  These performances are exciting, and exhilarating to me.  If I want 'Nyquil' Mozart, I'll go to some HIP performances.

[The new erato]

Keemun - I'm going to go through the earlier ones too, as I have neglected them, save for the 6th.

But it's also the best. Edit: Or at least the most interesting.

[Lethevich]

But it's also the best. Edit: Or at least the most interesting.

I think so too - it works as a perfect middle point between his Romantic and naturistic early works and his more emotionally focussed later ones. No.6 definitely points the way to nos.10 and 13. I am becoming more enamoured with the 5th each time I listen to it, though.

[Coopmv]

Now playing another early music CD, which arrived last week ...

[Opus106]

SMF 1.1.10@GMG, this one's for you.

I don't want to.

Now that's serious, Sarah. Elgaritis is still incurable.
