I saw them several times on this tour. Good stuff. Think I'll get my snap, crackle and pop version out and play it.

As I said, a slippery slope. Not always IMHO. There is one on ebay for £338 so I change my opinion from Not Always to No.

For me it is, but there are so many great sounding MoFi's that you can still get at a reasonable price, this one usually demands a premium.That being said, you can find a few copies for $55 on amazon US right now, they don't always ship International.

The first CD I bought back in 1986.

New recording from John Eliot Gardiner

Genius. This man always brings a tear to my eye. Don't ask me why, it just does.

Mark - good choice. After one disc of that Stravinsky I need a change and will join you. Something a bit more Saturday morning.

I thought Kazzy would like this, but sadly not. She thinks it is all jumbled up musicians - your thoughts? (She did guess the songs though).

It is not so easy to like and I can understand the comments. Best to see live first and then easier to appreciate after. She might prefer some E.S.T.

"Princes Familiar" & "I Was Hoping" are just beautiful.

Hi Adrian.

I have a thing for the Concertos, what do you think of this new recording?

Cheers, Paul

What day would be complete without this?

I will not profess to be an expert on this subject and as it only arrived a few hours ago I have not really listened properly.

What I will say is that it has been very well received in the critical press and John Eliot Gardiner is a renowned Bach interpreter. The Sunday Times placed it in it's list of the best classical albums of 2009. It seems a pretty safe bet you will be investing wisely in this recording. Nice little package as well.
