Symphonies Wq 183 1-4.
Kammerorchester "CPE Bach"/Hartmut Haenchen. Phoenix CDs.
and...
Solamente Naturali/Miloš Valent. Brilliant Classics. Qobuz Studio.
Despite the modern instruments, I've always warmed to HH and his band. They serve CPE devotedly well.
But delighted to discover the Bratislavan Naturali (searching around tonight...!) as there aren't many complete Wq 183s on period instruments, and I find Pinnock and Leonhard dull, stiff and uninspiring.
The Solamente really bring out the warmth and the fun of this wonderful music (which I often begin, and end, my day with).
And I just found a 2ndhand CD for under a fiver delivered!
Nielsen Symphony No.5. Odense SO/Serov. KONTRAPUNKT CD.
Remarkable, unusual 5th, way off-the-beaten, but showing in its bigboned fullness, subtlety and warmth, how much more to this music there is than the usually played-out extremes. (Not that drums or brass hold back - anything but!!) More on the Nielsen thread soon I hope.

At least it’s a bit warmer today.
The funeral is for Robert Coleridge, a musician known, perhaps, to one or two others here. His page on the Music Now site run by Bridged and Laurie Scott-Baker has not been updated as yet. In addition to being a composer, he was also a fine keyboard player. He became closely associated with the organ parts in Cardew's The Great Learning.

Beethoven. Violin Sonatas.
Igor and Natalia Oistrakh.
I'm listening very nervously since these are CD transcriptions of Lps I bought at great expense before having them transferred at even greater expense! Why nervous? Well, these are old vinyls so, inevitably, there are inherent flaws such as surface noise and 'snap, crackle and pop' but, worst of all are the 'jumps' which have ruined so many listening experiences. (And why I'm so anti vinyl and was one of the earliest embracers of cd.)
Having recently had an Lp of Alan Loveday playing the Beethoven violin concerto transferred only to discover that there was a 'jump' in the soloists first entry I've become quite wary of the whole process. (A friend who knows more about Lps than me chided me for expecting too much from an ancient SAGA vinyl which he advised me were the cheapest of the cheap!)
Since none of these recordings are likely to be released on cd by their original producers soon, I feel I've no choice but to go down this road. (I doubt the Loveday master tapes still exist.)
I can't wait for this listening experience to be over!!
