[MickyD]

The six Cherubini string quartets, in very nice HIP recordings by Hausmusik London.

[pastoralguy]

Robert Schumann. Choral Works.

Flemish Radio Choir.

Inge Spinette, piano

Bo Holten, conductor.

KLARA label.

This is a cd I bought years ago which has remained in its plastic wrapping. Good to finally open it.

[pastoralguy]

Bach. Goldberg Variations

Rosalyn Tureck, piano.

DG. 1999

Very beautiful playing but, imvho, quite slow and hypnotic. Not one for 'everyday' use.

91 minutes as compared to Hewitt's 82 minutes in her 2015 recording.
