Les Troyens: Royal Hunt and Storm
Béatrice et Bénédict: Overture

Up next:
- Harold in Italy - with William Primrose (viola)

Yes sir!!! Same recording, just a different cover.

IMO, it's hard to beat Charles Munch's recordings when it comes to Berlioz. His performances sound so deliciously spontaneous and full of vitality.

Still bouncing back-and-forth between RVW and Bax.

Arnold Bax: The Symphonies / Vernon Handley, BBC Philharmonic (Chandos)
Disc 3 - Symphonies Nos. 5 & 6

It's interesting to compare Handley's approach to Bax with Bryden Thomson's earlier cycle. They are very different.

Arrived in the mail this evening:

My old, yellowing edition of The Penguin Guide to Compact Discs awards this CD with a "rosette." In this case, I agree with their judgment. It's one of the finest RVW recordings I've heard.
