"I heard the Trio from the Symphony in F on my drive in this morning (WRR-FM 101.1... ...) while ruminating on what has been lost in music that isn't dependent on the acoustical environment. Sort of like food without aroma.Anyway, this delightful performance of early classical/late baroque music by a composer I am unfamiliar with has a delightful tonality, recorded in such a way as to make the performance hall part of the work. Naxos (as is often the case) comes across as a budget ECM when it comes to reveling in the acoustic spatiality of a physical place. A nice recording that I'll enjoy all the more because it will cost me about the same as lunch at McDonalds."
