    It struck me that the As You Like It extracts played in the 3 May programme were in performances (RTÉ Concert Orchestra/Andrew Penny) that weren’t a patch on the sparkling ones in this recording:



    I have it on CD but tried in vain to find it on Qobuz. Did it defeat my search skills with their rather odd algorithms?

    Can anyone else find it?

    The recording was also released in this manifestation:

    "...the isle is full of noises,
    Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
    Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
    Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

      I have that CD (having had to put aside my antipathy to Carl Davis for recording A Lincoln Portrait with You Know Who!) in its later British Composers incarnation, and particularly enjoy the Siegfried Music.
