Congratulations!  You have now replaced Harry as our "hungry consumer".

A temporary "distinction," no doubt.  I do this only a couple of times a year.  Harry seems to do it every day!

[George]

I ordered Shostakovich's String Quartets performed by the Emersons, and Boulez's Schoenberg Serenade (along with something else that slipped my mind).  I'll say what I think later when I get them and have a chance to mull it over.

Who else do you have in the DSCH QTs, David?

Turned this one up in a second-hand shop. I'm not quite sure why I took more than one second to decide on buying it, but I did.

Who else do you have in the DSCH QTs, David?

Borodin, Fitzwilliams, St. Petersburg, Shostakovich, and Eder.

Borodin, Fitzwilliams, St. Petersburg, Shostakovich, and Eder.

The Chandos Borodin or Virgin? The former is the most incredible DSCH performances I have heard.

Strut on a line, its discord and rhyme
I howl and I whine I'm after you
Mouth is alive all running inside
And I'm hungry like the wolf

David, you are Notorious.

The Melodiya release--



Better than the Chandos IMO, but that's highly debatable I'm sure.

[DavidW]

<quick avatar change> indeed.

I have only the 14 and 15 from that set, and while I enjoy it, I find it lacks that last bit of depth that the earlier Chandos performances possess.

Oh and the Chandos doesn't have those SQs right? so it completes your set.

Quoting Duran Duran

Duran Duran?  What next...the Partridge Family?

[DavidW]

Duran Duran?  What next...the Partridge Family?

And even the Monkeys.

[Kullervo]

What Duran Duran has to do with the Partridge Family is a mystery for the ages.

That will be the subject of Dan Brown's next bestseller.

Yeah, I was VERY happy to see that CD of 14 and 15 used earlier this year.

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. 

[DavidW]

Huh, a reissue?  If you can, could you provide me a link?

[George]

No, it's from your box, same cover art too. It's the last CD with the SQ. 

[DavidW]

Oh bother, I thought maybe it was a cool reissue.
