I'm coming off an absolutely horribe wave of disrupted sleep during the past several days but still managed to get out and about, part of which included my first all classical "haul" from the thrift store over the weekend. I picked up:

Israel Philharmonic Orchestra - Vivaldi: The Four Seasons (Cond. Zubin Mehta)

New York Philaharmonic - Schubert: Symphony No. 8 "Unfinished"/Symphony No. 9 "The Great" (Cond. L. Bernstein)

Chamber Orchestra of Europe - Schumann: Piano Concerto/Violin Concerto (feat. Martha Argerich on Piano and Gidon Kramer on Violin)(Cond. Nikolaus Harnoncourt)

Royal Philharmonic Orchestra - The Sunday Times Music Collection - Classical Composition, No. 3: Chamber Music

London Symphony Orchestra
- Mosaic for the Seasons
... a compilation of compositions by Scheidt, Handel, Tchaikovsky, Gossec, Bach, Haydn, Beethoven, Vivaldi, and Mendelssohn that was given to wealthy clients of the Private Banking and Investments divsion of the defunct First National Bank of Chicago.

I have neither the energy nor patience to rip or tag CDs. Thus, today's post, au natural:

Israel Philharmonic Orchestra - Antonio Vivaldi: The Four Seasons (Cond. Zubin Mehta)

----> featuring performances by:
Itzhak Perlman ("Winter")
Isaac Stern ("Spring")
Pinchas Zuckerman ("Summer")
Schlomo Mintz ("Fall")
