Prokofiev's piano concertos with Ashkenazy, Previn and the LSO on a bargain Decca Double - wonderfully pungent stuff  |

Some Berio Sequenzas, mainly cos I have to teach about them next week, but also because right now I miss this sort of music, and him. Clarinet and bassoon ones. Gasp.  |

Roy Harris Third Symphony.
Actually this Neeme Jarvi version is a tad limp compared with Bernstein.

Aaron - Thanks for the Ars/Chantilly CD survey. Lots of chasing to do.
More medieval and renaissance era music, courtesy of Machaut ('The Mirror of Narcissus') and Orlande de Lassus. Really v difficult to dislike any of this.

Bryn, it's the DG issue with Alain Damiens and Pascal Gallois, respectively. And again, I say, Gasp! |

The bassoon one's great; the clarinet one can be a heck of a lot more fun than Damiens made it, in my humble opinion.
And there are those multiphonics written for the full Boehm clarinet for which no one ever found a real replacement...

So, apart from the obvious, who would you recommend?

(alas I don't know a recording that really brings out what's lurking in there...  )Now spinning here - the Adagietto from Mahler 5, Norrington conducting the Stuttgart SWR Symphony. No vibrato. Very startling. Very good.

Finally got round to the Haitink/LSO Live Beethoven box. The first disc, the eroica and the Leonore 2 overture was a bit of a mixed bag. A fine enough performance (especially the second and 4th movements) but the sound is some of the worst I've heard from LSO Live in a good long while - very wooly (the timpani sounds like it's in the next room) - if I didn't know better I'd suggest they'd done something to take of the Barbican harshness and it's backfired.
