Giving this Daphnis a try. I'm sure John can tell me if it's a good 'un!

Yes, Gielen's Daphnis is quite good or the best I can remember it was a good performance. It's been years since I've heard it.

Saw Elgar's mug (who, BTW, could use a Santa Hat  ) and was inspired to hear Sinopoli's broad take on No.2.

I really enjoy Sinopoli's Elgar recordings, Greg. Masterful performances.

Now:



Listening to In the South. Fantastic!

[TheGSMoeller]

It's the worst film from the Qatsi trilogy, but Glass' score is impressive. Very colorful instrumentations.

Now:



A new acquisition. Listening to Piano Concerto No. 1. Really great! Beautiful performance. Audio quality is also top-notch -- really warm with great instrument separation.

Continuing through the Barbirolli set of Elgar orchestral works, listening to the incredible Cello Concerto now. Du Pre was something else.

Happy LvB baptismal day! ; )

LvB
Violin Sonata № 10 in G, Op.96
Gidon Kremer & Martha Argerich

[asin]B0000B09Z3[/asin]

Happy LvB-B-Day to you, too! 

After all these years, the Kremer/Argerich duo is still my benchmark. 
I'll give this a spin later, as well as their equally impressive "Kreutzer" - and maybe more!
