Order placed.  The first three my wife and I heard excerpts from on the radio and immediately enjoyed them.  A number of composers I have never even  heard of are featured.  Thanks for some insight concerning a couple of these Harry.

   

Thanks Don and Que for recommending this last one.  Just 205 to go.  ;D


Very interesting pickings, Bill! :)
The first two look particularly intriguing.

The first three were played (at least pieces from) on the wekly baroque radio show my wife and I enjoy Que.  There is also a Vol. II to the violin disc that I may consider if find this one to be enjoyable from beginning to end.

Excellent choices, both. ;)

It's not the Sony 1966 version, but the earlier 1957, Epic recording  ;)

I think the finale in this earlier recording blazes more intensely than the later recording...

I heard it played on Radio 3 (or was it Classic FM?) - most compelling beginning to that symphony that I've ever encountered. Must get that disc.

The biggest box I have bought is the Brilliant Classics Mozart box (170 CDs).
Spatial distortion is a serious problem deteriorating headphone listening.
Crossfeeders reduce spatial distortion and make the sound more natural
and less tiresome in headphone listening.
