Edward, indeed I am enjoying this.  This is my Poulenc initiation.

There is some exceptionally beautiful music on here.

Went to the Mediathek here in Salzburg today and came back with:






And... Nielsen, symphonies 1&6, Blomstedt, SFS

I also picked up Franz Hummel's (b. 1939) piano concerto thinking it was Johaan Hummel's from the baroque period. Big disappointment when I got home

The only Franz Hummel I've heard is his opera Gesualdo. I wasn't impressed, so I hope this accidental piano concerto is better.

[mozartsneighbor]

Went back to Mediathek and brought back:





As well as... Brahms piano quintet with Schiff and Takacs (I love Brahms chamber music but the naxos cd version I have of this wasn't making me very happy... this is much better)
and..Faure orchestral works conducted by Marriner (I love Faure songs, chamber music,and piano music, so I hope this is at the same level)

[Opus106]

I got it mainly for the section on instruments.
