I remember that recording well.  I was very impressed with the music and
performances.  But, continued playing did dampen my enthusiasm some.  I'm
glad to have the Virgin disc, but I haven't tried to obtain any more of
Galuppi's recordings.  I suppose I keep looking for the third composer who
stands as tall as Bach and Handel.  Haven't found him/her yet.  At one time
I thought Telemann was the one, but continued purchases found him lacking.
I have a disc of sacred music by Josef Planicky which I thought compared
well with Bach, but I haven't come across any other recordings devoted to
him.  The Planicky disc is on the Arta label.  I strongly recommend it and
am interested in what other list members think of it.
