This morning I'm feeling sick from a cold but these beautiful sounds ease my pain

I know this recording is old hat in this thread, but I just really enjoy listening to it because the performance and sound are superb. Not sure why, but this SACD sounds particularly excellent through my system tonight (the system was off for a couple of days while I went to a wedding ).

Jeno Jando
Schubert Moment Musicaux
Naxos, 1989
a pleasant listen

The Linn sound quality (on the SACD layer) is superlative with great presence and transparency. Everything comes across clearly and with proper impact especially the brass. The piano sound is some of the best I've heard. This is a winner on all counts. Video Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FOfEMvseI2g

I looked at this but never pulled the trigger - guess I'll have to now.

It's very good. You won't regret it, Tony.

Something appropriate for a cold winter morning...

Tchaikovsky:
Symphony No. 1 in G minor, Op. 13 'Winter Daydreams'
Symphony No. 2 in C minor, Op. 17 'Little Russian'
Andrew Litton, Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra



I've had this disc in my collection for two decades. These compositions are early efforts by Tchaikovsky so you will not find many memorable melodies like in symphonies 4-6, but there is genius there. Plus sometimes it's nice to take a break from all the well-known pieces to hear less familiar music. The Bournemouth Symphony plays well here and the recorded sound is set back in a concert hall acoustic. Not bad.
