Only three albums in this article but all recorded by Bert van der Wolf, all phenomenally good performances, and all in excellent sound quality. And, all classical music!

I originally gave this a like, mainly because I like the polonaises.
But the performance? Not so much.
“Spinning Now” is not necessarily about performance recommendations, but about what one is currently playing. Commentary follows. In this case, I decided I did like these performances, so I’ll disagree with @tmmuchcox-net. And that, for me is the very interesting thing about classical musical, different interpretations and different styles of play can draw out disparate reactions. In my case, I liked Sullivan’s performances enough to add this to my recent article on excellent Pure DSD256 recordings from Hunnia, HERE.

Peteris Vasks (b.1946) continues to fascinate me. With each new composition I hear, I like his music more and more. But, definitely for modern music tastes.
