I thought at one point that the vintage Christ Church/AAM version might be heading to the top of the pile, but after high praise, it suddenly vanished.

Was that the Simon Preston-led one? Yes - a couple of highly-praised illustrations and then forgotten. (I wasn't as enthusiastic about it as was SH - his later choices I found much more engaging.)Originally posted by MickyD View Post[FONT=Comic Sans MS][I][B]Numquam Satis![/B][/I][/FONT]Comment

I have the E Flat in the AAM Preston and have never felt the need to buy another .Comment

Me too....and it is coupled with an equally impressive performance of the Vivaldi Gloria.Comment

Also missing from the list is the other, more recent version with the AAM under Stephen Cleobury - a very attractive all-Bach programme on 2 CDs for EMI.

Would it be possible to bold the recommended recording on the original list, at some point following the result?Originally posted by Eine Alpensinfonie View Post
When one looks back over old Bals, it's very difficult to find out what the recommendation was, which is a shame for such an excellent thread.

Many thanks, Alpensinfonie. I do realise and appreciate the huge burden you take on, in providing these marvellous Bal threads for us all, and was a tad reticent in adding to that burden!!!Originally posted by Eine Alpensinfonie View Post
