Gloria in excelsis Deo et in terra pax hominibus bonæ voluntatis!

Merry Christmas everyone! May God grant you all, and your loved ones as well, a long and prosperous life, full of love, peace, joy and good music! Kindest regards and warmest wishes from Romania!

Very kind of you, Andrei. I wish you the same.

Happy holidays to all! :) So glad I decided to return to GMG a couple months ago - and thanks everyone for listening to my rants about how much I love Atterberg and Braga Santos ;D

Anyone who disses La Mer can rant all he wants IMO  ;)

Seriously Atterberg is terrific. I got his complete symphonies by accident, the vendor sent the wrong thing, and it turned out to be one of my best "purchases" of the year!

Well, what a fortunate "accident"! ;) So glad you've enjoyed that set - it may be the single most treasured item in my collection :)

Two of my favourite composers - I too am delighted that you returned, Phoenix-like, to the forum Kyle!

Happy holidays to you.

A Merry Christmas and happy festive season to everyone at GMG. A time of year for families, especially children and a general feeling of goodwill towards all. With this in mind we need Christmas all year round.
Cheers

Merry Christmas!

A Christmas for Shacktown by one of Walt Disney's original animators, Carl Barks, was put in charge of the comic books, and he created new settings and new characters, like the great Scrooge McDuck, and gave Donald Duck and Huey, Dewey, and Louie expanded and complex personalities.

A classic. Merry Christmas and a happy New Year to everyone who celebrates either one.

Happy New Year to you all, here, there and everywhere. (That's how Gramophone Magazine used to wish their readers a Happy Christmas - it is probably now considered politically incorrect to do so).

Anyway wishing you good health and happiness for 2018.
