Seraphim Classics

**Although I enjoy the entire disc, I cannot help but listen to the Russian Easter Overture multiple times, every time I pop in this disc.  It is simply one of my favourite, upbeat orchestral works.  It produces air conducting for me 'en masse', with almost no equal in that department!

Op 111.  I'm thinking of working my way through all the recordings of the piece in my collection.  Could be interesting.

To the performances, Sarge!  You'd get an extra head-banging pic if you listened to Symphony No. 39 in E flat!! 

[Lisztianwagner]

When you are ready, I would love to hear your thoughts on Enescu's symphonies, Ilaria.

Certainly, I'll post my thoughts on the Enescu thread.
