I swear, the humor of your posts is improved by the fact that every time I read them, I hear Cary Grant's voice in my head. 

Maybe I should change my avatar to Groucho Marx.

IMO that would diminish the effect. The pipe, the suave 50s style, the quips, it works perfectly. I wouldn't change a thing.

Funny: last month I bought that same Philips Berlioz Requiem, but it comes paired (much more logically) with the Te Deum. Anyhow, it's a grand, grand performance, probably still the best around.

wish the Kamu, which I have on LP, was reissued, however.

[Don]

The Brahms String Sextets from the Nash Ensemble on Onyx.  In addition to this new one, I have the L'Archibudelli on Sony Vivarte, Hausmusik on Signum, Leipzig on MDG and Raphael on Hyperion; L'Archibudelli is my favorite.

I can attest that these performances are among the best to be had Andrei.
Had it for years, and would never part with it.
Absolute bliss.

  I agree with Harry, Florestan I have that same Beethoven cello and piano sonatas recording that you purchased and I love it.

GRANVILLE BANTOCK: Omar Khayyam (first complete recording, 3 CDs)

Looking forward to a review on this.

[Hector]

Looking forward to a review on this.

Likewise. I adore Bantock but this has had mixed reviews, is spread over three discs and is quite pricey.

On the plus side it is Chandos and Vernon Handley.

Oh, I'll probably get it, anyway...but not yet.

[Kullervo]

Just ordered this from Amazon on the recommendation of a GMGer.

I attended the German premiere of "Magma" (Symphony No.4), also with Glennie and under Järvi, with his Frankfurt Radio Symphony. Quite an enganging work at about a half hour. A great big lump, but a very colorful great big lump.
