Haydn: Symphonies Nos 82 in C major ('L'Ours), 83 in G minor ('La Poule') and 84 in E flat major
The Hanover Band/Roy Goodman
I think it was Alison who said that the recent BaL on No 102 had resulted in a Haydn-listening fest for her. Ditto for me, with three of my favourite symphonies in sparkling performances.Comment

Established 1958. Cliff Richard and the Shadows.
In 1971, my mother won £100 on the Premium Bonds. A small fortune in those days! Having bought 'sensible' things such as a fridge meaning that milk bottles no longer had to be stored on the window sill in winter, she splurged and bought a record player! She then bought 3 Cliff Richard records of which one was the above, a quirky collection of slightly comedic songs. This record was played a LOT in my childhood! I still have it although I no longer possess a turntable.
However, today, I came across a spotless cd copy and it's playing now. Amazing how it brings back so many happy memories of growing up in Viewforth Square in Edinburgh in the 60's and 70's!Comment

Schubert Symphony #9 D944
Statskapelle Dresden . Sinopoli.
I’ve never previously read about Tchaikovsky’s admiration for Schubert , and this symphony in particular, but this recording really beautifully highlights elements that PT integrated into his music.I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered. My life is my own.
I am not a number, I am a free man.Comment

Yannick Nézet-Séguin, is certainly having a Renaissance Period with the Philadelphia Orchestra, like Andris Nelsons is with Boston, and both with DG!Originally posted by Stanfordian View PostDon’t cry for me

Apparently, I was at the world premiere of this work in the Barbican with the same forces under Sir Col, with the composer in the audience. There was a mini riot too for fun, with some idiot shouting "Visions of Hell", in a denial of the festival of the music of Sir Michael With-it called "Visions of Paradise". Needlessly to say, such scum was quickly bundled out of the hall by security staff, while the rest of us were standing to our feet saluting a great work
It was also his last completed orchestral score.
