Uchida's new CD of Mozart's piano concertos 9 and 21 with the Cleveland Orchestra is pretty good if not revelatory, but I can't recommend the CD wholeheartedly as I find the piano recorded too brightly.

This looks and sounds interesting - the 1733 version of Bach's Mass in B Minor performed by Ensemble Pygmalion/Raphaël Pichon: http://www.prestoclassical.co.uk/r/Alpha/ALPHA188
It's available on Spotify here.Last edited by Guest; 09-10-12, 20:04.

Not sure if it's already been mentioned but the Brodsky Quartet's Petit Fours CD is giving me a great deal of pleasure. This is 'glass of whisky at the end of a long day' music. Especially like the Schumann transcriptions. It's my only Brodsky quartet disc so makes me want to go back to their other recordings.

For those of us who enjoy the French harpsichord repertoire, I thought I'd flag up this new 2 CD release from Christophe Rousset, playing the divine Duphly on a splendid-sounding Kroll instrument. Sadly, this is not the intégrale that I had been hoping for from Rousset, but it does include some of Duphly's most beautiful pieces.
