One of the things I very much enjoy on this list are list member comments on recordings. One recent personal discovery came in early December while driving and listening to a piece for winds on the radio (WPRB in Princeton, NJ). In response to my email the radio station reported the piece as Gounod's Petite Symphonie for Winds and mentioned there are several very good recordings. I selected the one I heard on the air. Barry Faldner conducting the Sinfonia Orchestra of Chicago. (Koch 3-7067-2 H1) includes the Debussy Symphonie in B minor, about 10 minutes; a very early work. Nice and very interesting. It also includes the Symphonies No. 1, 2, 3, and 5 of Milhaud. 3 movements each with about 3 to 7 minutes playing time each. Very Milhaud and very enjoyable. I wasn't very familiar with this music and am very happy to know it now. And Wow! What playing. My cost was 2.5855263... Naxos CDs. ($11.79 Koch CD/ $ 4.56 Naxos CD at EveryCD prices and ignoring shipping.) This has slowed my quest for more Haydn symphonies and Haydn and Brahms chamber music. (I find Naxos a very nice way to explore. With careful selection I can make strong additions to my collection, and the knowledge gained is an aid to increased enjoyment of works as funds allow and preferences develop.) I am curious to know what other unexpected 'discoveries' list members have recently made. For me, its been many months since I found such a pleasant surprise. Any one else have any rare personal finds to share. No lists, just that one that stands out. Regards, Tom Connor
