I feared his parents had locked him in, good to hear it's only his monthly.

Should we call for a rescue crew?

Was your copy shipped from Texas, by chance?

Based on their Op. 9 and some other samples I've heard I think it was.

I really like this disk. I wish I could have found their others (the last 2 anyway). I like the Salomon's version of the last two, but I feel like I would have liked the Kuijkens a bit more. Or not....   :-\

I have the Salomon's two disc set of the last four; I like it, but I find the production a bit on the 'thick' side, not allowing for enough separation of instruments.  I'm very interested to hear this when it comes in and I couldn't argue with an OOP recording for $12 + shipping.

My preference is L'Archibudelli for 3 & 4, but options are relatively few for 5 & 6. Thus Salomon's.... :)

Gorgeous.  One play has me itching to listen to it again.

Probably spin it again tomorrow. . .

[asin]B000EQHRVA[/asin]

Watching/listening to it right now - excellent.  I suppose that I could do without so many close-in shots, but the whole thing flows nicely overall.

Wise words from Que:

Never waste a good reason for a purchase....  ;)

After finding a way to listen to it first, I liked it well enough after hearing only the first half of the first disc that I went ahead and bought it.

Piques my interest. I'm acquiring more videoed music performances. Don't understand why they're usually less expensive than CDs. What the market will bear, perhaps...?

In my experience the sound quality isn´t always up to usual CD standard.
Reality trumps our fantasy far beyond imagination.

I know that feeling very well.  I barely managed to resist that Beethoven deal because I really don't have the money.  I'm sure you will find some way to budget for it, though. :)
