Hi Karl,
I actually did struggle through the first 6 CDs for some reason but I did enjoy No.7/8/9/10 this week-end... not sure if it is down to the works or just me being more receptive this time round..I guess in part it initially suffered the comparison from the enjoyment I was/am getting from the Scarlatti/Ross (apples and oranges probably, but it still did...).

I'll leave them aside for now and re-start a run in a few months time again.

That cover should find its rightful place in another thread.

Good afternoon, everyone!

First listen to this disc, which was kindly sent to me by Tony quite a while ago, with his recommendation. Really enjoyable, brilliant and charming music!!

[Lisztianwagner]

Was listening to that a bit in my truck earlier, what I heard was nice. The Lyric Opera of Chicago is playing Parsifal next season, I've never seen a Wagner opera live, might have to make this one my first. 

I think it was an excellent Parsifal, wonderfully performed both by the orchestra and the singers; Pape and Kaufmann were absolutely great. This music is so hauntingly beautiful, so solemn and intense that it always brings me into a heavenly dimension when I listen to it.

That's great, go and see it if you have the chance! Seeing Wagner's operas live is an amazing experience.

[Lisztianwagner]

I also heard some of this in my car earlier today. I agree it sounded special.
