Re: CfSQ, I have not come across that before. Since I don't have time to listen at the moment, I will probably check it out later in the day.

This is supposed to be one of the top Bruckner 4th's. I bought this CD a few months ago ...

It's "after" a Handel Concerto Grosso, but it's not just an orchestration like his reworking of Bach's "St. Anne" prelude as will be obvious when you listen. It's more akin to Stravinsky's Pulcinella, but is more adventurous and strange.

Oh, yeah! Good enough that it got me to swap out another classical CD in favor of Lennox's Diva. But after that I swear (cross my heart!) to put on something written by a fellow who died at least 100 years ago!

Hi Stuart - I just finished going through this box set for the second time - really wonderful & sedate music - somewhere I posted about a movie which was a bio of Marais w/ the French actor w/ the big nose (his son played the 'younger' Marais) - worth a definite watch after acquiring this Savall peformance (who played the pieces in the film) - Dave
