This is amazing. I really could get all of my musical entertainment from YouTube alone.

A delightful early morning drive up the M1 (yuck!) with at least some decent music on Classic FM - a quite superb 5 Deviants from Andrew Manze.
And a charming Bach Oboe and Violin Concerto with Janine Jansen Ensemble.

I came across violinist Zilliacus via a Bach violin search, and was bowled over by her solo Bach playing. ... unfortunately done in collaboration with a singer which rather f*cks up the Chaconne. The rest is great though. open.qobuz.com/album/7318599921594... which led me on to this album of 2 contemporary violin concerti, neither composer have I heard of before, and I have to say these are growing on me quite nicely. open.qobuz.com/album/7393787171791

more Bach solo violin Qobuz review -- Recorded in the richly sonorous Church of Santa Eufemia in the fishing village of Bermeo on the Cantabrian coast of Spain, Gilles Colliard's performances of Bach's Sonatas and Partitas are unbelievably good. Although his tone is warm with more than a hint of vibrato and his technique is smooth with just a bit of sharpness, Colliard's playing is as natural as it is passionate, as concentrated as it is expansive. His performances are as much lived and felt as they are considered and contemplated with luminous depths, numinous heights, and, when the music calls for it, profoundly human transcendence. While the pantheon of great recordings of the Sonatas and Partitas -- the Grumiaux, the Milstein, the Heifetz, the Szeryng, the Kuijken -- is not unduly disturbed, it does have to make room for this one. Like the Spanish EMEC label, Gilles Colliard will be unfamiliar to an international audience, but with this recording, both the artist and the label should soon become much better known. open.qobuz.com/album/8425701000609

great music, beautiful concert hall Lots of background noise, but a very nice performance. Sadly, the organ is almost missing in action.
