Last night's listening...

Beethoven Symphony No 2
..Karajan/BerPO, DGG
..Norrington/LCP, EMI
.....always interested to hear two so VERY different performances of the same piece back-to-back.

Ravel, Piano Concerto in g
d'Indy, Symphony on a French Mountain Air
..Munch/BSO, Henriot-Schwirzer -pf, LSC 2271-45 (Classic Records 45rpm reissue)(Delightfully different, excellent sound quality)

Country Dances: J.Playford's English Dancing Master
..Barlow/Broadside Band, Harmonia Mundi HM 1109
....A delightful collection of 17th Century English dance music, with sonics to delight one's ear! Recording engineer: the inimitable Jean-Francois Pontefract, who created so many of the Harmonia Mundi sonic marvels.

Bill Evans, Portrait in Jazz, Riverside 1162 -45 Analogue Productions 45rpm reissue. Oh yes! Excellent in this incarnation.

Hi Rushton, I don't know that I'm familiar with the particular Ravel piece you list (recalling the names of classical pieces or placing them with those I've heard not being one of my strengths!), but I don't think I've ever listened to any Ravel that I *didn't* like. Today my radio alarm clock woke me to the finale of his Daphnis And Chloe Suite #2 (Rotterdam/EMI) and I was reminded of this fact again. Do you have any top recommendations for recordings of his work to be on the lookout for?
