The production on this is so warm it feels like sitting next to a radiator in January.

the sequencing here is criminally underrated. “Les Illuminations, Op. 18: II. Villes” into the next one?? come on.

Solid, but I keep skipping “Les Illuminations, Op. 18: II. Villes”. Sorry Sir Peter Pears & English Chamber Orchestra.
