CD 3 of the Oistrakh box.
Beethoven - Violin Concerto Sibelius - Violin Concerto Stockholm Festival Orchestra, Sixten Ehrling For recordings done in '54, this is a very agreeable listen. Not in the least because of the splendid performance of Oistrakh. Wow!

Rameau - Keyboard Suites
Angela Hewitt  I never tire of hearing this album. The beauty of these works is eternal bliss (even when played on a grand piano and not a harpsichord, I think even Julian will agree!).

Corelli: Concerti grossi
Just got back from a 14-day trip. The first thing I put in my player was...
Corelli: Concerti grossi, Op. 6 (12, complete) The English Concert, Trevor Pinnock  A superb interpretation by Pinnock and his outstanding English Concert. Pure joy from this set. The late 1980's DG recorded sound is very fine.

Been in a bit of a musical dry spell: contractor doing some work on our living room so my main system is under covers, and we've had two young and energetic grandchildren with us for 12 hours a day for the last couple of weeks, but this morning finally some peace and quiet, and this:
Tchaikovsky: Scenes From Swan Lake Concertgebouw Orchestra, Anatoli Fistoulari conducting Decca 1961 From the box set "Decca Sound: The Analogue Years" Beautiful music, sound and performance. :format(jpeg):mode_rgb():quality(90)/discogs-images/R-4967935-1380882227-4748.jpeg.jpg)

Some delightful Bach with breakfast...
 I finally got around to ordering his Vivaldi Concerti for Two Violins after the positive reviews here a couple months ago, and while at Presto, picked up a couple others of his, each very good. Unfortunately the Vivaldi is on backorder so I have been unable to enjoy it just yet.

Robert Schumann & Antonín Dvorák - Piano Concerto
Orchestre Philharmonique de Strasbourg, Marc Albrecht Martin Helmchen, piano   Quite wonderful performance and terrific sound. Two highlights of the romantic period.

Joseph Haydn - Londener Symphonien Nr. 102, 103, 104
Cappella Coloniensis, Bruno Weil   Listening in stereo this time (normally I listen in surround to these SACDs). While not enveloping as much as in 5.0, still a wonderful experience. This series contains by far my favourite versions of these works.
