For goodness's sake, will somebody please stop these things arriving in the post! I'm so busy, and I have a whole boxful of Solti's Ring to get through, but the stuff keeps on coming. Does Amazon know no pity?

NO

If you have too much on your hands and are overwhelmed, I will gladly take the Solti Ring off of your hands to help relieve your situation.

Now that's what I call kindness.

[Brahmsian]

Now that's what I call kindness.

Elgarian, I strongly urge you to take full advantage of my generosity. 

[Harry]

Now that's what I call kindness.

If you want to relieve yourself of anything in your classical music collection save for Wagner and other opera recordings, I would be so bold and send you my address.
Its time I get something too, after all that giving of mine.

Ah, how Frodo dreamt that someone could just take the Ring from him . . . .

When I start giving them away, Harry, you'll be the first on my list.

Excellent recording! One of my favorite Martinu recordings right now.

You should collect some vocal scores. Then you can sing them without electricity. 

Only during the day.

I just got off the phone with them and they have happily agreed to forward all of your future purchases to me.

Bravo!    No trees, just forest.   No pianist, just Beethoven.         Simply an amazing interpretation.

Is this an attempt at sarcasm?

Is this an attempt at sarcasm?

Not at all. "...Even more somber, impressing through immense clarity and understatement, are the Backhaus readings, the later stereo cycle of which is a much cherished favorite of mine."

I love, love, love Backhaus in Beethoven. I crossed out "interpretation" because they don't seem to be interpretations but manifestations of just the music. Very 'simple'... and out of that comes sheer greatness.

Arrived today from the UK: Martinu string quartets and symphonies, plus a Lieder recital from the much missed Lucia Popp.
