[Brassbandmaestro]

Dyson The Canterbury Pilgrims

Holst: The Cloud Messenger

[Suffolkcoastal]

Love the Holst BBM, I admit to never having heard the Dyson though I have recordings of a number of his works.

Am currently listening to Verdi: Il Trovatore, haven't heard it for years and finding it very enjoyable. I have a real problem with early Verdi (pre Rigoletto) but admire his later operas. Perhaps I should give some of the earlier ones another try sometime.

[Mahlerei]

The Orozco-Estrada Mahler 1, a live recording from the Musikverein. Much too excitable and very closely recorded as well. Of recent releases Tennstedt's BBC Legends is still the one to beat.
