This from their website. Good news that they are still hanging in there and of course Denis's Rachmaninov disc was truly excellent. Where 'though are more of the promised Shostakovitch symphonies?

> The Recording features Shostakovich's Piano Concertos Nos 1 & 2 as well as Shchedrin's Piano Concerto No 5.

I don't think I have Shchedrin No 5, and I do like Shchedrin muchly, so shall try this. Hope Mariinsky (with the double ii) are back on form.

If only they would go back to using Soundmirror to do the recording. I suspect I will not be purchasing much from this label anymore.

I have Matsuev's RBCD with Mariss Jansons conducting. It's a very powerful and virtuosic piece. No doubt Matsuev and Gergiev will play the pants off it! I just hope the audio quality does it justice.

I am looking forward to the recording of Massenet's Don Quichotte due in a couple of months.

Don Quichotte is a lovely opera. But can a new recording be better than the one with Crespin, Ghiaurov and Kord? Well, why not?
