Bach - Alio Modo: Passacaglia & other keyboard works transcribed for viols
Fretwork Harmonia Mundi (2005) It's a bit odd hearing Bach's contrapuntal organ and harpsichord works played on viols, but it's nevertheless a very pleasant recording by the group Fretwork. Sound is good as well.

Higdon & Tchaikovsky Violin Concertos
Hilary Hahn, violin Royal Liverpool Philharmonic, Vasily Petrenko conducting DG 2010 Following on Carlos' Petrenko/Liverpool album, here's more from this combination, with the addition of Hilary Hahn. The Higdon is a fascinating composition, with beautiful soft lyrical passages transitioning quickly to tension, drama, and explosive moments. Very interesting music that I think will take multiple listening sessions to fully grasp. Playing is brilliant throughout, and sound is good.

Debussy - La Mer
Respighi - Fountains of Rome - Pines of Rome Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Frits Reiner   A classic. Good to start another very sunny day. It's been unusually dry and hot here... I wouldn't especially recommend this one. I find the sound rather thin (the AP remaster is maybe better?). And there are better interpretations available of 'La Mer'.

Debussy - Children's Corner Suite - Petite Suite - Danses sacrée et profane - La Boïte à joujoux
Orchestre National de l'O.R.T.F., Jean Martinon  Very well executed and recorded album ('74). This is an early remaster ('89), but it is good. New album cover of the same remaster:

Arrived this week. Wasn't even aware of this music before seeing Carlos' (?) post about it here a few weeks back. Very pleasant music well performed and well recorded.
