Also, looking forward to Amadou and Mariam: Welcome to Mali, on LP, which I've preordered.

Tonight was old Decca recordings of shorter pieces night-
1. English String Music (including Britten's Simple Symphony)--Britten/English Chamber Orchestra. The King Super Analogue re-issue, pretty heavy in the bass but a very good recording.
2. Espana--Argento/London Symphony Orchestra
3. Rossini Overtures--Gamba/LSO
4. Hindemith-Symphonic Metamorphoses on Themes of Weber (Addabo/LSO)--one of my favorite fun pieces, sadly under-recorded.

Russ, all wonderful performances and recordings. Great choices for an evening!
