COTW Victoria

Good of them to manage to stray into the north of the country for, er, three of these concerts!

This is only the tail-end of this year's Pilgrimage - they visited us much earlier in the year!

doversoul - well worth shouting about! - and Simon Heighes gave the Victoria a rave review (which was also scholarly, perceptive etc etc), which cheered me up no end, because while he was doing so, the copy I had ordered (#25 above) landed on my doormat. An extraördinary bargain - what, £3 odd per CD?? marvellous...

I am very much in a Victoria phase at the moment. I just listened to this CD Review discussion, having not been able to hear in on Saturday. I would be very interested to hear your reactions to the Plus Ultra box, vints

Looking forward later today to getting stuck into the COTW podcast. However this weekend on my travels, I at last caught up with Simon Heighes's Building A Library from May which I didn't hear at the time http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b010xvp2. Fascinating stuff and resulted in me ordering the Tenebrae performance of the 1605 Requiem which sounded breathtaking: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B...ef=oss_product Anyone got that, and have their own views to express?

My guilty pile of not-yet-listened-to CDs also includes the Barenboim Tristan, the Pappano Guillaume Tell, the Vermeulen Schumann, the Jacobs Zauberflote, three sets of the Monteverdi Vespers (McCreesh, Jacobs, Stubbs), two Mahler 10 (Rattle, Zinman), a clutch of Suzuki Bach cantatas, three vols of Duphly harpsichord works, vols 9 and 10 of the Brautigam Beethoven...

But when I get to the Victoria - I'll let you know
