    Never been a Sargent fan but BBCSO sound in cracking form. Hard to listen to Du Prez dispassionately, little rough in places maybe(?) but fabulous in others. Still, its a live concert and grateful to hear her in her early career. Any views?

      There was an excellent review of this in yesterday's Observer:

      Home listening: Malcolm Sargent conducts Elgar, and Fabio Biondi unearths another baroque gem

      Jacqueline du Pré’s Proms debut is a revelation on Pristine Classics; and let’s hear it for Francesco Feo

          Josquin Des Prez (c1440-1521), a famously prescient devotee of this concerto

            Nothing to do with Simon Dupree and the Big Sound then!

              Depressingly, his contribution is often overlooked.

                  Can anyone remember which performance the BBC Legends CD contained of Elgar du Pre/Sargent Proms recording ? This one or a later year ?

                    So unfair when he made such a major contribution to French war efforts over many centuries!

                    (Des Prez: De ma blonde.)

                        Looking at the comments on the Observer review Toilet Cleaner has some similar views to MrGG on DoG.

                          What is the classical piece which incorporates that tune - does anyone know? It's one heard often in my childhood.
