[The new erato]

My second favorite after the 2nd ("Lobgesang"). And in the "Scottish" I love the completely shameless way in which Wagner quotes from Mendelssohn in his Flying Dutchman. Did he even change the key-signature? 

Somehow, the occurence of Wagner and shameless in the same sentence isn't a complete surprise.

You may have a point there.

More and more enjoying this colorful cycle. Disc 6 was already marvelous, with a Clavieruebung III (esp. BWV 552). Now on disc 7, with the remainder of Clavieruebung.
