Thank you Gurn and Karlo !  :)

Loved the set so far but The "Seven Last Words" didn't do much for me actually and have stopped halfway...it was only the first listen to the work so I will revisit later on  ;)

Now : Dvorak SQ.2 (Stamitz).

Listening to the Violin Concerto. Absolutely spellbinding performance from Little. Love her playing so much.

Yep, that's a damn good Bruckner 6th right there. Possibly Nagano's best Bruckner recording.

  Actually, I'm listening to Scherchen's 2,4,8 as well.  I'm finding it extraordinarily engaging.
It's all good...

This was my first Tchaikovsky CD back in the early 90's. It still compares quite favourably. :)

yet still I speak in verse, and call thee mine;
for music's truths and friendship's steady cheer,

Can't bring too many CDs to my trip to Australia because I have to leave plenty of space for the shopping lunatics disguised as my wife and daughter.

So these:

Bruckner 4 thru 9 (Furtwangler box)
Winterreise (DFD)
Mahler 1 and Song of the Wayfarer (Kubelik, DFD)
Schubert D850 and D960 (Sherman)
La Divina (Callas)
Goldberg (Gavrilov)
Mahler 2 and Kurtag's Stele (Gielen)
Beethoven Quartets (Vegh)
Scarlatti (Pogorelich)

Not a lot, but as usual, the Mahler is for Kimi.
Do what I must do, and let what must happen happen.

That's not a work I would pick on my birthday...but do try it again when you are in a less celebratory and in a more contemplative mood. It's worth the effort.
