Make sure to hide something you could play on, too (I have a vague idea that there are more convenient options these days)

- err ... I had actually forgotten about this!

There is one Handel LP (Philips, early 1970s) I'd take to a desert island: ECO/Leppard with the 3 Concerti a due Cori (first to be burned on a CD or otherwise digitised )

[groovydavidii]

"Theodora," OAE, Glyndbourne Chorus, Lorraine Hunt, David Daniels, Dawn Upshaw, William Christie...

I was blown away by Handel's Dixit Dominus when I first heard it on a BBC CD

You beat me to it Roehre! The Tafelmusik/Lamon CD on Sony makes a very decent HIPP complement.

Yes I have that performance, in another CD manifestation (coupled with the Dettingen Te Deum) - it's terrific. http://www.classicsonline.com/catalo...px?pid=1208470

I think I got it having caught it by chance on a Throught the Night programme.

My favourite and all very old fashioned is the EMI Pheonixa with Barbirolli and the Hallé playing the Organ Concerto, "Rodrigo" Suite, Oboe Concerto no 1 with Evelyn Rothwell and the Suite from Xerses which includes Richard Lewis singing "Ombra mai Fiu.

Lovely stuff.

Oh dear, my eyesight is playing up again and I seem to have 'double vision' this morning ... or maybe it was that lovely Rioja last night?

I trust I've supplied the virtual black coffee to restore your visual precision?

I thought it was Purcell who went in for echo choruses - cho choruses - ruses.

or maybe it was that lovely Rioja last night?

She denies all responsibility.
