Fischer/BFO Rite of Spring

[Mr Pee]

CD of the Week in yesterday's Sunday Times:-



I had high hopes for this CD when I heard it was on the way. This orchestra and conductor are surely a perfect combination for the music. Mind you, just about anything they touch seems to turn to gold at the moment.

It's released on 27th Feb- already pre-ordered from Amazon!!!

I've pre-ordered it too and it arrives on my birthday! Should be superb.

It was a terrific performance when they gave it a the Proms, and they played the the Stravinsky Tango at their late night request concert last season, so, Amazon here I come!

[Petrushka]

I was there for their Proms performance too and am looking forward to hearing this disc. All resolutions to cut back on CD purchases this year are being severely tested - and frequently broken.

Worth noting that the Stravinsky CD, Budapest Festival Orchestra/Fischer is several pounds cheaper at HMV than elsewhere - or it was at 22.00 hrs when I placed my order.

Good call there, Stanley. I was a bit worried that they describe it as a "CD", but the catalogue number and the illustration relate to the SACD issue, and I can find no reference elsewhere to a standard CD issue, so have followed your lead.
