    My favourite musical discoveries in 2016

    At the end of a year I like to ask myself what new musical discoveries I have made in the year. Well, for 2016 for me the greatest were:

    3 Requiems: from Kozlovsky (!!!!), Cherubini's second Requiem, and from Donizetti:

    Not so much a work, rather a composer - Jan Dismas Zelenka.

    The Schubert song is lovely!

      To name a few of the many new musical joys I found in 2016:

      Mahler
      The Haunted Manor (a Polish opera)
      Boris Godunov
      Wagner's Ring
      Baroque Opera
