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.

The Immerseel/Debussy CD should be great...I think I posted a link to a sample extract of it earlier on this thread.

Yes indeed — Prélude à l’après midi d’un faune sounding absolutely wonderful. A must-have, this CD.

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.

It is, and was mentioned here a couple of weeks ago. I got mine from hmv.com for £9.00 including p&p. The performance makes if far more than just a curio as an early version of the B minor mass.

Fashionably late, as always. I'll be early when pith helmets are back in vogue though.

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.

... if you like Petits Fours you might also like Grands Desserts... (Dussek has been much in favour on early music / composer of the week threads of late... )

Thanks, Vints...this release must have passed me by, it looks very promising. Fortepiano and harp, what a delightful pairing!

**martin_opera** · 16-10-12, 10:45

Thanks Vinteuil. Looks a bit rich for me at that price but will keep an eye out.

**jacobs8891** · 17-10-12, 09:48

thank you for the information.
new releases are really very good.

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.
