A late start for me today.
Schoenberg, Suite for 2 Clarinets, Bass Clarinet, Violin, Viola, Cello and Piano Op.29 / Phantasy for Violin and Piano Op.47* - Boston Symphony Chamber Players, Joseph Siverstein* & Gilbert Kalish*.

When I bought the DG Boston SO box part of the appeal were the discs featuring the Chamber Players (six in total). A fair few others that are in the box were on a wish list of mine so when I got the box for a very reasonable price the other 40ish discs were a huge bonus.

Again showing the original cover.

Listened to a bunch of stuff today:

CD10:
Francois Couperin: L'Art de toucher le clavecin: Septième Prélude
Francois Couperin: Second Livre de pièces de clavecin, Sixième Ordre
Francois Couperin: Second Livre de pièces de clavecin, Septième Ordre
Francois Couperin: L'Art de toucher le clavecin: Sixième Prélude
Francois Couperin: Second Livre de pièces de clavecin, Huitième Ordre

Laurence Boulay (harpsichord)
Recorded in 1974

Quite good. The mildly crap harpsichord used for the first Ordre (on CD8) seems to have been a fluke, thankfully.

CD5:
Joseph Haydn / Roman Hoffstetter (?): String Quartet In G Major, Op. 3 No. 3 (Hob.III:15)
Joseph Haydn / Roman Hoffstetter (?): String Quartet In B Flat Major, Op. 3 No. 4 (Hob.III:16)
Joseph Haydn / Roman Hoffstetter (?): String Quartet In F Major, Op. 3 No. 5 'Serenade' (Hob.III:17)
Joseph Haydn / Roman Hoffstetter (?): String Quartet In F Major, Op. 3 No. 6 (Hob.III:18)

Kodaly Quartet

Works of unclear authorship, yet quite masterful.

CD5:
Maurice Ravel: Daphnis et Chloé, M. 57
Chœurs René Duclos / Paris Conservatoire Orchestra / André Cluytens / 1962

Another new acquisition. Picked a random CD from it. Previously only had the ’90s Pierre Boulez recordings (on DG) of the orchestral works, but so far I’m finding these much more engaging. The extra ”lushness” is what does it for me, I suppose.
