The end of another year. My CD purchases are becoming rarer as I explore the vast archives on my shelves. But disc of the year? It has to be Sabine Devieilhe singing angelically music by Bach and Handel. Raphaël Pichon and Pygmalion accompany. Glorious singing, glorious music.
Runner up is Elgar's violin concerto, sensitively played by Renaud Capuçon and the LSO. Despite his often blustering exterior, Elgar was a sensitive soul and the playing of his violin concerto should reflect this.
So a duo of French performers for my CDs of the year. Bravo les français!
