You’re really rolling through the Suzuki, Andolink. I’m envious. Do you prefer the Bach Collegium Japan/Suzuki over the Stiftung /Rudolf Lutz?

I maybe, slightly, prefer the Lutz just for the somewhat greater sense of spontaneity those have since they're all taken from live recordings. But I didn't discover the Stiftung set until I was very heavily invested in the Suzuki (and Herreweghe) set(s) so have only used the Stiftung set to supplement the missing pieces of the other sets I have.

Listening to some very nice vocal music:

Using a new little amp I picked up for $140 that sounds WAY BETTER than it has any right too, an APPJ amp using the dual pentode 6AD10:

Excellent recording/performance there Lester. It's interesting to compare Handel's completely reworked English language version of Acis with his original Italian Serenata version from 1708.

It is indeed an excellent recording and I’m quite partial to it. But I spent a couple of happy hours spinning my reference copies on vinyl. Sutherland, Pears and Sir Adrian are hard to beat.

Excellent version of Bax's best symphony. Thanks to Tyson for the tip about this series of recordings. I'll get the 3rd next.

Hey, glad you like it! It's amazing what a difference the right conductor can make.

On a bit of a Martin Frost kick lately. Normally I'm not a huge fan of the clarinet, but this guy is a complete master and also produces a somewhat richer, more pleasing sound than others, IMO:
