Haydn - Cello Concerto No.1  &  No.2

[HutchFan]

Now listening to:

Vaughan Williams: A London Symphony (No. 2, revised ed.) -- performed by Sir John Barbirolli & the Hallé Orchestra
This is Dutton Laboratories' "Barbirolli Society" reissue of the 1957 mono recording originally issue on Pye (in UK) and Vanguard (in the US).

One some days, this is my favorite recording of RVW's London Symphony.  On other days, it's Boult's second recording for HMV/EMI. 

They're very different, but I think both are tremendous.

 

[HutchFan]

Now:

Prokofiev: Four Portraits from "The Gambler"; Suite from "Love for Three Oranges"; "They Are Seven" / Rozhdestvensky, Moscow RSO, et al (Melodiya/Angel) 
Terrific Soviet-era Prokofiev recordings from Gennady Rozhdestvensky

I am going to challenge my endurance again.
