    Ah; you've heard them, too!

      However - with ears now more attuned to a HIPP approach - I can much recommend the Bruno Weil with Tafelmusik and Ann Monoyios, Jörg Hering, Harry van der Kamp on Sony.

      I like The Seasons. And there's a pretty good version with la Petite Bande and Sigiswald Kuijken on virgin veritas...
      I just bought the Weil, and it is wonderful, and as for Monoyios.... really something else.

      main complaint is the unnecessarily large double CD box..... a small price to pay...
      I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered. My life is my own.

      I am not a number, I am a free man.

        Mine came in 2 card clip cases (within the 60 CD Vivarte box which I bought got £40.72 including p&p two years ago. It even came with HCRL's notes for The Creation in the fat booklet which accompanies the set.

          For those in search of big-band HIP, there is always the Hogwood version - and just for a change, it is in English, too!

            Bernstein is my only version and having followed this thread I clicked on Presto to get an overview of recordings. I was struck at the top of the list by a very recent reissue on Eloquence of a Markevitch version including Irmgard Seefried whom I normally admire greatly. It seems to be something of a classic in 1956 mono. Does anyone know it?
