Rossini
'Le Comte Ory' - opéra comique in two acts (1828)
French libretto by Eugène Scribe and Charles-Gaspard Delestre-Poirson

... this, with il Viaggio a Reims and le siège de Corinthe, perhaps my favourite among Rossini operas

[visualnickmos]

Violin sonatas by

Ravel, Debussy, Poulenc, played exquisitely by Tasmin Little and Piers Lane.

A real gem, this from Classics for Pleasure - well-worth a punt of anybody's money - if you like French violin sonatas, that is....

A cd from The Beecham Collection

Mozart. Symphony No. 29 in A Major. K.201

William Alwyn. Symphony no. 3 (First performance).

Rather crumbly sound but lovely music making.

[pastoralguy]

In honour of today's events in space, Mozart's last symphony.

Herbie and his band...

Shostakovich: Symphony No 7 (Leningrad)
Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra
Paavo Berglund

This was my very first DSCH 7 (and indeed the first time I'd heard it at all) in the LPs purchased 40 years ago.

Is our friend Hornspieler playing in this I wonder?

The Bournemouth Symphony took no prisoners during their Berglund sessions! Their DSCH 5 was my first experience of his music.
