Disc 3.

It's scarily obvious that you're going to reach the end of this set before I do.

I started in March 2012.

New acquisition. It might have been a corker, but is is not to be, a teacher of Vivaldi that falls far beneath his pupil's  excellence. So he was a good pedagogue but not so good as a composer.

Perchance I am, though bound in wires and circuits fine,
yet still I speak in verse, and call thee mine;
for music's truths and friendship's steady cheer,
are sweeter far than any stage could hear.

Harry

New acquisition. A disc to treasure. Highly recommended to all that like old music for these instruments.

Brahms: String Quartets - Britten Quartet.




update: I haven't heard a huge number of different performance of these works, however of those I'm familiar with I find this set to be full of colour and drive, yet still possessing enough restraint. What a pleasure I had listening to them.

I have to be in a very sequestered, monkville area (in both mind and body) to listen to that, but it certainly yields rewards. Headphones are mandatory, but then I live on a busy street. I'm going to have to break that one out today.

I hope that two never-before-heard Stabat Maters in the one night isn't excessive.

Today arrived at my door a packet with 5 CD'S in it. This is the first one that landed in my player, and pretty impressive it is. for all those that love music from Orient and Occident this is a must.

It's fantastic. Makes me wish Herbie conducted all of Liszt's orchestral works.

I had to google that  ;D  ...and who explained its meaning? Why none other than you, Karl, in a post at the old, now archived, forum  8)

"It is excellent, Harry!  Both the music and the execution.  My cryptic remark was actually meant for "sublime" (below - sub / green lemon - lime)"
