Your mention of Zino Francescatti reminds me of his ultra-beautiful recording of the 2nd violin sonata. I'm also thinking of the 2nd piano quintet, both cello sonatas, the piano trio. Any and all would be wonderful. Jeffrey Mitchell Dear Mr. Thompson– You’d make a happy subscriber even happier if BCMS were to program some of the late chamber works of Gabriel Faure.

I am 40 and I had to turn to volume to max and still had a hard time hearing it - too much of people speaking over one another, too much echoes, no video of speakers to assist. I can only imagine what the rest of the typical bcms group - 20 years my senior on average - could hear of these bits! You need better mic-ing, better editing and why not video only sound? your sound bites are too quiet.
