Is it available to stream or buy?

If you would be interested, I would highly welcome you on my thread entitled "Lute Music and Other Early Music: Stunning Recordings We Love".

As for lute songs of John DOWLAND and Henry PURCELL, even though I have so many CDs and download-purchased tracks, I always come back to Alfred DELLER...

You can hear many of these on YouTube, e.g.

I've owned Artur Schnabel's Schubert recordings on various LP configurations in the past, have the excellent Arabesque CD featuring the Sonata in B flat and shorter works, all duplicated in this 5 CD box from Warner Classics. The 2018 transfer work is a tad (only a tad) better than Keith Hardwick's excellent work from 1987. It's nice to have Schnabel's recordings of the Impromptus again, in sound about as good as it's ever going to get - these CDs are remastered from the original 30 ips tapes from 1950, Schnabel's last recordings. Heard the Sonata in A major, D. 959, for the first time in many years again. An excellent performance of one of Schubert's little-known masterpieces. Will no doubt listen to the remaining three CDs tomorrow.

I have thoroughly enjoyed your recommendation. I have listened to the Trout Quintet so far. While I'm familiar with the piece and have heard many other renditions, this particular one is exceptionally enjoyable that I've had it on repeat this morning.

An item that showed up in audio salons for demos of bass and dynamics back in the late 1970s as an LP. One of those records that blew out speakers thanks to extreme dynamics in the bass register. Have owned the disc as both an LP and a SACD. Somehow the SACD sounded lackluster compared to my memories of the LP. Love the repertoire, recorded in 1978 using Soundstream's recorder capable of recording with a sample rate of 50 khz. I just checked out Ebay, they have a CD copy for $4.99.

I have the SACD and LP and prefer the LP. The digital version of "Frederick Fennell conducts the music of Leroy Anderson" is absolutely cracking in that format though. The joys of light music couldn't be any better represented.

If you're a fan of music for wind band this album is, I believe, even more dynamic than the Fennell/Cleveland. It was also an audiophile demo darling not that long ago. One of my favorites.

Thank you! I just found it on Tidal and will keep my eyes peeled for the LP. Great stuff!
