Symphony No. 1 & 3.

Tampere PO, Leonid Grin


This music is right up my alley.



This set is OOP, and on Amazon they ask high prices.
Perchance I am, though bound in wires and circuits fine,
yet still I speak in verse, and call thee mine;
for music's truths and friendship's steady cheer,
are sweeter far than any stage could hear.

"When Time hath gnawed our bones to dust, yet friendship's echo shall not rust"

Not everyone took offense of the term "AC". Some of us took it as a badge of honor.

As long as they didn't say AC/DC, I was on board.

Just been playing some 1970 Ligeti - Chamber Concerto and Continuum. The barrel organ version of the latter sounds better to me than the two player pianos, it's a richer timbre.

What is all this hang up with notes anyway? It's like painting using only the colours on the rainbow flag.

A disc with the three great Weber concertante works with Keller, and a Volkmann Konzertstück with Jerome Rose - & less presence.

Not the favourite recording, but still good.

Still have two Audio-Technica cartridges in their cases that I've yet to use. Needle diamonds have lasted quite well.  :)

One can also hear that exuberant Straussian schwung in In the South.

True. In Falstaff there are some echoes of that as well.
The current annihilation of a people on this planet (you know which one it is) is the most documented and at the same time the most preposterously denied. The terror IS REAL!
