This batch contained four miscellaneous Chopin discs: Pollini playing Etudes and Preludes, and two of Nikita Magaloff playing the Polonaises. Quite a bit of duplication because we both had significant Chopin collections. Another duplicate was Zimerman’s Schumann/Grieg concertos with Karajan and the Berlin Philharmonic – a standard combination of works.
The rest of the batch was vocal, both solo (Fischer-Dieskau and Barenboim performing the Mörike-Lieder) and choral (Handel’s Dixit/Nisi Dominus with Winchester Cathedral Choir, and ‘Anthems from King’s,’ a very popular disc of favourite big sings from the Cathedral repertoire.)
