I am just listening to the Dvorak 9 with BBCSSO/Runnicles. I have to admit not really enjoying much of what I have heard from Runnicles apart from his Wagner/Strauss CD with Christine brewer. This Dvorak 9 strikes me as excellent though - propulsive but not hard driven , but no over sentimental lingering in the Largo .
I have recently also enjoyed Thomas Hampson in Delius 's Sea Drift and that Henk Neven Winterreise.
This leads me to ask what are your favourite BBC MM CDS .I can think of three in particular that stand out .
1. The 1943 radio recording of the Brahms Violin Concerto with Menuhin and Boult . A CD to play anyone who only knows Menuhin from his later more fallible recordings .
2 An Aldeburgh Fesival song recital with Janet baker and Raymond Leppard that later made its way onto BBC Legends
3. Katerina Karneus singing Nuits D Ete .
What are your favourites ?
