Gill Sans SUBS ● 2nd Sep 2023		Classical Item Orpheus Chamber Orchestra - English String Music (1986)	Is a conductor credited on this CD? I don't own a copy.

Gill Sans SUBS ● 27th Aug 2023		Classical Item Queens' College Choir - Choirs Of Cambridge: 'Evening Hymn' (2013)	The playing order is not as shown in the packaging, which also perpetuates the misunderstanding that Joubert's glorious anthem uses the plural of "Thing" The tracks Valiant For Truth, and O Nata Lux work particularly well for me. [YouTube Video][YouTube Video]
Gill Sans SUBS ● 27th Aug 2023		Classical Item The Cambridge Singers, John Rutter - There Is Sweet Music (2002)	Stanford's Quick! We Have But A Second is a favourite final piece for choral concerts: here Rutter and his singers carry it off to perfection, to the final note: [YouTube Video]

No. and cover illustration of "Windsor Castle" by Paul Sandby, on Helios, again in 'The English Orpheus' Series. This is mostly cheerful stuff from a minor British composer of the 18th Century. [YouTube Video]
Gill Sans SUBS ● 24th Aug 2023		Classical Item Itzhak Perlman, Concertgebouw Orchestra Amsterdam, Bernard Haitink - Mendelssohn & Bruch: Violin Concertos (1984)	Your 'insert' and 'inlay' images show three tracks each for the Mendelssohn and the Bruch works.

Gill Sans SUBS ● 19th Aug 2023		Classical Item Lionel Tertis - Side A SECTIONBREAK Come, Sweet Death (Komm Susser Tod) / Side B SECTIONBREAK Aria (1926)	Lionel Tertis, and the unknown pianist, must have recorded this arrangement of the Bach piece, BWV 478, more than once: the 2:56 and the 1:32 versions have made it onto a CD of Tertis' work. Tertis is known to have recorded with pianist Harriet Cohen so, maybe... [YouTube Video][YouTube Video]

Gill Sans SUBS ● 31st Jul 2023		Classical Item Pro Arte Wind Quintet, Zurich - French Wind Music (1992)	The "Madrigal - Nocturne" by Darius Milhaud will be familiar to BBC Radio 3 listeners who stay up late, as the introduction to the "Through The Night" music sequence. Pro Arte play in a similar style to the BBC private recording: [YouTube Video]

Gill Sans SUBS ● 25th Jul 2023		Classical Item Chœur De Chambre Accentus - Poulenc: Figure Humaine (2001)	The Gramaphone Magazine carried a glowing review of this performance: "Poulenc's choral music is particularly treacherous territory. One moment you're singing what sounds like Janequin or Passereau, the next you're into jagged, almost atonal lines and harmonies that seem to tear at the ether. And the contrasts are often abrupt and have to be managed at speed with every syllable of the French in place. Incredibly, the Accentus Chamber Choir under Equilbey's direction meet all these challenges with flying colours..." [YouTube Video]
