I sense another Bach wave on the horizon.

I'm slowly working my way through the 38 audio discs in this collection; we'll see if I make it to the 6 DVDs. My problem is I keep replaying his first version of the Goldberg Variations. Gould is a genius.




And when move beyond Bach you do, near perfection this is:

Listening to a CD that came with our magazine 'Luister' (equivalent of 'Listen').

Poulenc - Un soir de neige - Quatre motets pour le temps de Noël
Frank Martin - Mis voor dubbelkoor (Mass for double choir)
Groot Omroepkoor, conducted by Gijs Leenaers



Netherlands Radio Choir - the choir

Nice CD.
The Poulenc works are nice, but the Martin Mass is a very pleasant discovery!

[Toccata]

Amazing playing and sound. The younger Gergiev led far more energetic performances than the current one!

[Toccata]

Beautiful music, playing, and sound. A few of the ornaments are a bit overdone, but he certainly plays with a lot of finesse.

[Toccata]

Wow. Such intense playing and fantastic sound! Now, mind you, the perspective is as if you are on stage with them, or in the front row of a hall with a low stage. Yet, it's not bone dry--there is some hall sound. Fortunately, their musicianship can withstand such scrutiny. Overall, this might be my favorite set. I'll have to do more comparisons with my Parkanyi Quartet
and Mikrokosmos Quartet on SACD, but for the price, it is easily recommended.

Now listening to disc 2 of this excellent set, the Symphonic Studies and the Piano Concerto in A minor, with Claudio Abbado and the Berlin Philharmonic.

This disc arrived today: a wondrous performance of the Mozart with excellent sound--I prefer it on both accounts to the Perlman/Zukerman. Haven't listen to the Brahms yet.
