Hi Julien, do you know the band Sky?

I hate this music, but I suspect it could be the band "Sky". I'm a fan of the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields and Sir Neville Marriner. I can recommend Mozart's Requiem (Philips Classic Productions 1991. Note! I hate Mozart too, but I love this recording. The Academy of St. Martin in the Fields and Sir Neville Marriner are geniuses.) http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sky_%28Band%29 When I was a child I bought the Sky record including Bach's Toccata and Fuge d-Moll BWV 565 and I give it back to the record dealer. He gave me back the money :). I'm not sure, but at least it sounded very similar. Hth, Ralf
