#morninglistening to a #ClaudeDebussy double bill of mtilsonthomas' Images w/the @bostonsymphony & Giulini's LA La Mer on DG. MTT delivers the goods. Giulini is good but maybe not top drawer?

Is Bloch underrated or unfairly deemed a two-hit Wonder?

#morninglistening: Still thinking about MaurizioPollini but now to the sounds of the @TallisScholars in Palestrina's Missae Brevis & Nasce. A terrific 1986 recording of glorious early music, still holding up well today!
