What Classical Music Are You listening to Now? III

[Bryn]

... yes : nice

Not the easiest of recordings to find. I cannot find it on QOBUZ, and the only download options seem to be from Presto Classical (£10 for the FLAC). It does look rather tempting but why does it seem not to be on QOBUZ, I wonder?

[jayne lee wilson]

Utterly irresistible, craggily intense, such a contrast drawn between the dark and the songful.....
Yes its on the edge sometimes, takes risks, frightens the horses in ways the the horses might even enjoy -
But my word it brings the piece to life! Winds and brass singing and soaring!
