Gill Sans SUBS 26th May 2024		Classical Item Poikakuoro Ynnin Pojat (The Ynnin Pojat Boys' Choir), Paula Westerlund - Laulakaa, Portit Aukaiskaa	It's difficult to understand the Finnish composer credits: it seems that 'Tuntematon' is 'Unknown', 'Keskiaikainen Sävelmä' means 'Christmas Carol', 'Sleesialainen Kansansävelmä' is 'Silesian Folk Song', 'Ranskalainen Joululaulu' is 'French Christmas Carol'
Gill Sans SUBS 22nd May 2024		Classical Item Anne Page - French Music For Harmonium, II (1990)	Mustel is one of the grand names among French harmonium builders. Clearly this model has 'mouse-proof' pedals to have remained in viable condition for so long! [YouTube Video]
Gill Sans SUBS 19th May 2024		Classical Item Various Artists - Lyrita Classics (2007)	Starting with the Jig from St.Paul`s Suite: [YouTube Video]
Gill Sans SUBS 18th May 2024		Classical Item Lang Lang, Gina Alice, Gewandhausorchester, Andris Nelsons - Lang Lang (2024)	I had to add this glossy, floral set by Lang Lang after watching this review by Dave Hurwitz who has certain reservations about it: [YouTube Video] Let's listen now to a couple of examples of Lang Lang's style, while I debate whether to order a copy: The Pianists: [YouTube Video] Pavane Pour Une Infante Défunte [YouTube Video]
Gill Sans SUBS 18th May 2024		Classical Item Noël Coward With Andre Kostelanetz And His Orchestra - The Carnival Of The Animals (1953)	Each piece from the set is delightfully introduced by Noël Coward. [YouTube Video]
Gill Sans SUBS 17th May 2024		Classical Item John Turner, Laura Robinson, Stephan Bettaney, Catherine Yates, Alex Mitchell - Highways And Byways · Rarities For Recorder (2024)	[YouTube Video]
Gill Sans SUBS 15th May 2024		Classical Item Concertgebouw Orchestra, Bernard Haitink - Shostakovich: Symphony No. 13 In B Flat Minor "Babi Yar" Op. 113 / Six Poems Of Marina Tsvetaeva Op 143a / From Jewish Folk Poetry Op 79 (1986)	It doesn't look like a UK London label, and it was pressed in Holland; either Netherlands or German I should think, but if we want to hedge our bets it could go under "European".
Gill Sans SUBS 15th May 2024		Classical Item The Choir Of St. John's College, Cambridge - Meditation (2004)	Organists and accompanists count as soloists - thanks for adding them.
Gill Sans SUBS 12th May 2024		Classical Item Pablo Sorozábal - La Del Manojo De Rosas (1962)	[YouTube Video]
Gill Sans SUBS 11th May 2024		Classical Item The Choir Of St. John's College, Cambridge - Meditation (2004)	Sorry, I somehow missed your reply until now. Thanks for adding more performers; are any soloists listed in the booklet? I'm not aware of a limit but you can add a lot more than the thirteen on this; here's one I did earlier, with over 100 performers! The Treasury Of English Church Music, 1100-1965
Gill Sans SUBS 8th May 2024		Classical Item Chapel Choir Of The Royal Hospital Chelsea - Ralph Vaughan Williams: Earth's Wide Bounds (2022)	Albion Records is the record label of the Ralph Vaughan Williams Society; each release on the label includes at least one world premiere recording, in this case these are the Communion Service In G Minor and "By The Bivouac's Fitful Flame". The words of "Bivouac" by Walt Whitman on the theme of the American civil war were set by Vaughan Williams in 1906. [YouTube Video]
Gill Sans SUBS 24th Apr 2024		Classical Item Orchestra Of The Berlin Municipal Opera, Hansgeorg Otto - Operetta In Hi Fi	Sign T through the middle of what?
Gill Sans SUBS 24th Apr 2024		Classical Item The Choir Of St. John's College, Cambridge - Meditation (2004)	ALL the composers, orchestras, conductors and 'star' artists please! I personally like to see all choir and consort members too, if they are credited, but there are limits to how long you want to spend on it ;-) I think you must have requested someone to "Please edit this record's Performer list" but that is too non-specific. If any details need changing please submit a 'correction' and the mods will (eventually) get round to it. Meanwhile you can add performers yourself.
Gill Sans SUBS 22nd Apr 2024		Classical Item Lejaren Hiller, Leonard Isaacson, Robert Baker - Computer Music From The University Of Illinois (1967)	[YouTube Video]
Gill Sans SUBS 19th Apr 2024		Classical Item Hallé Orchestra, Sir John Barbirolli - Grieg (1975)	Reissue of GSGC 14077; also reissued on Angel EAC-70133, Columbia Studio 2 Stereo TWO 269, and on CD on Nixa NIXCD 6006 and Encore PM 418
Gill Sans SUBS 19th Apr 2024		Classical Item Ralph Lundsten - Sviter Ur Strömkarlen Johannes Och Huldran (Nordiska Natursymfonier av Ralph Lundsten) (1980)	Ralph Lundsten, who died last year, was a Swedish film director, visual artist, and composer of electronic music. Skogen Vaknar (The forest wakes up) is a sound palate of the subject: [YouTube Video]
Gill Sans SUBS 13th Apr 2024		Classical Item Westminster Cathedral Choir, James O'Donnell - Panis Angelicus (1993)	Faire Is the Heaven: [YouTube Video] Hymne à la Vierge, Op. 24: [YouTube Video]
Gill Sans SUBS 12th Apr 2024		Classical Item Anthony Rolfe Johnson, Corydon Singers, English Chamber Orchestra, Matthew Best - Britten: Saint Nicolas · Hymn To Saint Cecilia (1989)	This recording has now been re-released on Helios CDH55378 so all tracks are now on YT. VII. Nicolas and the Pickled Boys: [YouTube Video] Hymn to St Cecilia, Op. 27: [YouTube Video]
Gill Sans SUBS 11th Apr 2024		Classical Item Wilfred Brown, John Shirley-Quirk, Dame Janet Baker, Ian Partridge - British Composers: Finzi, Vaughan Williams, Holst (1996)	[YouTube Video]
Gill Sans SUBS 9th Apr 2024		Classical Item Yehudi Menuhin, Polish Chamber Orchestra, Jerzy Maksymiuk - Vivaldi (2003)	Forgivable typo for conductor's name on rear tray artwork.
Gill Sans SUBS 8th Apr 2024		Classical Item Olive Bloom, Spencer Dyke, Bernard Shore, B. Patterson Parker - Pianoforte Quartet In C Minor, Op. 60	Yes, but who was B. Patterson Parker? [YouTube Video]

Gill Sans SUBS 6th Apr 2024		Classical Item Otto Kyndel - Side A SECTIONBREAKIntermezzo / Romance (1943)	Intermezzo was the theme tune from the 1936 Swedish film Intermezzo, which was remade in the USA in 1939.
Gill Sans SUBS 5th Apr 2024		Classical Item New London Chamber Choir, The Voronezh Chamber Choir - Stravinsky: Les Noces And Other Choral Music (1991)	Pleasant enough, but the only connection with Stravinsky or the Voronezh District is that both are Russian. This video is of a piece by Georgy Sviridov, not yet on here. Slightly more relevant would be a video of The Lord's Prayer by Stravinsky, but this recording has not yet found its way onto YT. Meanwhile, here is a recording by an uncredited choir: [YouTube Video]
Gill Sans SUBS 3rd Apr 2024		Classical Item Christoph Berg - Paraphrases (2012)	Christoph Berg writes slow, post-minimalist works, and releases his recordings digitally and on limited-edition physical media. Quiet Times at the Library is typical: [YouTube Video]
Gill Sans SUBS 3rd Apr 2024		Classical Item Steven Osborne - Debussy: Préludes (2006)	[YouTube Video]
Gill Sans SUBS 2nd Apr 2024		Classical Item Kim Robertson - Wind Shadows (1983)	Composer typo on track 15, should be Connellan.
