 I do like Leifs' music. Frank Martin's piano trio from this ...  Nice, so I moved on to this ...  And rounded off the evening with ...   |

 Excellent. If the opening piece doesn't melt your heart then you probably haven't got one.  Good for cleansing the musical palette.  Beautiful.  Yum. |

An LP day yesterday ... :format(jpeg):mode_rgb()/discogs-images/R-4764064-1374763221-1845.jpeg.jpg) - ye gods, what a cover!  - great performance and recording, though.  - very lively!  :format(jpeg):mode_rgb()/discogs-images/R-3932921-1349789805-1493.jpeg.jpg) - I find Alkan quite difficult to appreciate, but I enjoyed this a fair bit. |

While searching for a recording of Haydn violin concertos on TIDAL, I stumbled across this concerto by Haydn Wood ....  It's really quite good, well worth a listen. But the real discovery was the concerto by Lionel Sainsbury. (Must be a relation!) Coo - lovely stuff indeed. Which led me on to this ...  Yum!! and then a gorgeous solo violin piece on this ...  Very, very impressed by this grocerial chappie. |

That's a different recording from mine (on Harmonia Mundi), but great music!

 German's 1st symphony ... impressive. Quite serious stuff, not what I was expecting from this composer.  -- excellent, and a very slammy audiophile percussion section!  -- I do like Leclair's music - a very pure sound. Simple, but not simplistic.  -- a lovely way to end the evening. |

That's a different recording from mine (on Harmonia Mundi), but great music! HM one is excellent but only heard the speakers corner version , this is the BIS version last record produced by the late great stan ricker & a stunning slab of vinyl if you can play it very hot cut , had to increase the tracking force on my A95 for this one AT150Mlx passed with flying colours Originally released in 1980 on the Swedish BIS label, the double LP la Spagna XV-XVI-XVII Centuries became an instant, certified “audiophile classic”. It was on the late Harry Pearson’s “Super Disc” list since forever, with used copies regularly fetching upwards of $200. Ricker went through many lacquers and even broke a cutter head in an effort to inscribe onto the lacquers all of the percussive transient detail on the tape. In his back cover note Ricker can’t imagine how the original real-time cut could have managed without high frequency limited on the whip and tambourine parts |

I can imagine, the music itself is incredibly dynamic and laden with various highlighted percussive instruments.
I presume the BIS is on standard CD? I'd like an alternative version to listen to.

Jerry,saw your Buxtehude album above and remembered how beautiful his music is. Haven't got that one, but I've a couple of versions of his Membra Jesu Nostri (The Sixteen / The Symphony of Harmony and Invention and Masaaki Suzuki & The Bach Collegium Japan) plus his Organ Works, and his Seven Sonatas (Op 1). Right next to him in my index is William Byrd and his various masses for 3.4 and 5 voices (Hilliard Ensemble) and the same by Peter Phillips and The Tallis Scholars. It really doesn't get much better than this, does it? Blissful in extremis.

Imagine a combination of a fair old sampling of the atmospheric richness and emotional power of Sibelius and the approachability and tunefulness of Grieg. Well, here it is  Mostly, Kuula recordings are of unaccompanied choir. Nice, but .... This recording is of very powerful pure orchestral music and some lovely songs with orchestra. Good old TIDAL !  Lovely! And then this set again ...  I like these symphonies more each time, and I liked them well enough to start with. |

- great performance and recording, though.
