Classical music on the 'table tonight:
Haydn String Quartets, op33, with the Tatrai Quartet (Hungaraton SLPX 11887/9) - sinewy, sustantive, performances - great stuff. Of many different groups, the Tatrai always strike hit the right mark in this music for me.
Gershwin, Porgy & Bess (highlights) (RCA LSC 2679) with the incomparable Leontyne Price and the outstanding performances of William Warfield as Porgy and McHenry Boatwright as Sportin' Life. Wonderful cast in an excellent performance. I'm always disappointed that it's over so quickly.
Coming up, Prokofiev's Alexander Nevsky with Reiner and the CSO (RCA LSC 2395)
