I used to have a visceral hatred of Webern's music. No more, and this set helped seal the deal.

Sibelius, Symphony No. 2

Beethoven, Symphony No. 5

George Szell, Concertgebouw Orchestra (Philips)

The Decca Sound - The Piano Edition, disc 50.

[mikeweil]

Over the last few days:

all excellent stuff ...

 This afternoon I topped it with Korneel Bernolet's recording of Balbastre's Premier Livre:

I finally gave in and ordered a copy, even though I already have at least half a dozen recordings of this collection, but I don't  regret it, it's one of the top three, some pieces he plays better than everybody else. And top sound on a copy of a Hemsch harpsichord. The original is kept in a Boston museum, but it is rarely copied due to its complex construction, which allows many colours other harpsichords do not have, and Bernolet makes great use of them.

Kurt Masur - The Complete Warner Classics Edition, disc 40.
