This morning I spun a new-to-me LP that's one of the best one-dollar thrift store records I've ever found - mint condition vinyl, immaculate performances, excellent music I had not heard before. And so obscure that I couldn't find a picture online.

Two British Quintets (Spectrum LP) - Ramon Kireilis, clarinet, with the Lamont String Quartet

Sir Arthur Bliss - Clarinet Quintet
Samuel Coleridge-Taylor - Clarinet Quintet in F sharp Minor, Op. 15

Wonderful! A befriended harpsichord player alerted me to her crowdfunding campaign to the follow-up CD with more English music, but I was curious and ordered this one - a really great performance.

Here's a link to her crowdfunding page - scroll down for English version:

Leif Ove Andsnes - Sibelius (Sony)

[erwbol]

Op. 135.

Harpsichord Suites by Charles Dieupart, played by Huguette Grémy-Chauliac. Her playing is a bit uneven, bit she impeccably finds the right character for each piece.

Yes, she's great. Was planning to listen to some Xenakis, but will listen to this one now, Xenakis later.
