    I had to buy the disc, so I've listened to the first movement so far. I thought the tempo was a bit slower than what I've heard, but I thought it worked pretty good. I don't have a lot of time to listen to a large chunk of music at a time, but will get to it as I can.

      A fine concert recording (audio only) of Beethoven's 7th, London Philharmonic under Klaus Tennstedt, intense and driven:

        I'm listening to the Brahms G Minor Piano Quartet with the Artemis Quartet. Absolutely white hot music from the great, great master!! All hail Brahms.

        This work is a brilliant companion piece to Jan Swafford's Brahms biography, which I thoroughly recommend. The writing is FABULOUS!!!

          Vaughan Williams Suite for Viola and orchestra - quite delightful and surprisingly rarely performed given the small repertoire of viola compositions.

                  Palestrina Sicut Cervus - beautiful, no wonder Beethoven admired this composer and turned to him before writing the Missa Solemnis.

                    Beautiful indeed. My schola cantorum is rehearsing this one now.

                      Arthur Honegger: Symphony No. 3 "Symphonie Liturgique" - the ending, (particularly the last 5 minutes) is stunningly beautiful.

                                This is glorious music; transcendent, ethereal and tender but with a fragile power. I use this composer as a 'cross and garlic' to subdue any 'heretic' comes along to denounce the Catholic church! Not perfect, absolutely, but what's not to love about its music!!??
