 .... lately, I'd also ordered another disc of Onslow's late string quartets, which arrived today, Op. 54, 55, 56, performed by Quatuor Diotima. These are excellent -- passionate, filled with virtuosity and flair. The music ebbs and flows and soars and pauses for quiet (if brief) reflection. Good stuff.

Following on Mikeweil's enthusiasm for for Jean Rondeau, I'm taking this for a spin now:

Really nice. Crystal clear sonics. I'm loving this!

Watch out for the many different approaches he has for timing and phrasing - from totally free to straightahead.
