Quite impressed this morning with a variety of recordings featuring baroque recorder player Caroline Eidsten Dahl. All very nice.
Marianne Beate Kielland has a lovely mezzo-soprano voice, and both her voice and style of singing sound just perfectly “right” to me. Loving it.
Usually a bass trombone is hidden somewhere down in the nether reaches of the orchestra’s sonic stage. Well, not on this album—here it is front and center in all it’s deep blatty glory as Farr treats us to an exploration of the full range of this intriguing brass instrument. I can’t begin to imagine the breath control required to play these pieces—just amazing. And, yet, she shows us just how delicate this massive instrument can also be.

Get the feeling I’m listening to a lot of albums from Lawo Classics recently? Well, there’s a reason for that. 
This is an amazing recording on my M700/SACD/PST/Maggie LRS system. The soundstage is more realistic than most other piano recordings, the sound is warm but detailed, with lots of sustained notes and lots of authority.
Fascinating. I listened to the previews and it is music I associate with vampire movies, visits to the circus and colliery bands. An acquired taste, perhaps not yet acquired. I bet your neighbours are glad you use headphones.
I presume you are listening to a lot of LAWO either because you’ve become Norwegian or they’re paying you a lot of money, or both.
I enjoy the textures and sonorities of instruments. As noted, it’s rare to hear the full range of the bass trombone. And, yes, neighbors are grateful. 
We just heard the 24th performed by Joyce Yang with our ISO last weekend, and it was wonderful. Being in a minor key, it had a little more gravitas than I typically associate with Mozart (the Requiem notwithstanding). There were even a few rhythmic foreshadowings of Beethoven in the third movement.
Thanks for sharing you experience Craig. Lovely and valid remarks too!
One of the great performances of these symphonies.
That leads me to this:
BWV51 is one for @Elk will no doubt very much enjoy, as is evident from the album cover.
And with Julianne Baird, I will have no argument but simple contented enjoyment.
I was going to say … as a lifelong Baroque specialist and musicologist, with a wonderful lightness of touch.
Hard to top angels playing natural trumpets.
