The Mandelring Quartett is known for their Shostakovich cycle, and now they are taking on Mendelssohn. Both discs are fantastic: they play with amazing passion and perfection. Add in stunning sound, and these are essential recordings!

Listening to . . . JOHANNES BRAHMS - Piano Concerto No. 2 in B-flat Major, Op. 83
RICHARD STRAUSS - Salome: Dance of the Seven Veils London Symphony Orchestra & Royal Philharmonic Orchestra Antal Dorati, Conductor A Chesky CD re-master of earlier RCA recordings Originally produced by Charles Gerhardt and recorded by Kenneth Wilkinson in the 1960's. A superb sonic extravaganza, typical of the early Wilkinson recordings for Decca/London and RCA and very well remastered by Chesky. I haven't played this CD for a good many years and was pleasantly surprised this morning at just how much I liked it.

 In joyful anticipation of the concert tomorrow: Il Giardino Armonico will play Händels Concerti Grossi!  This 3-SACD box set is already a very fine experience.
