I can't seem to stop collecting Pines and Fountains; I have way too many recordings of them.  But this one is a real beauty (24/96 download):

nor in competing for the favor of wayward friends.

Pounds the table! A remarkable set.

I'm enjoying it very much.
Part of the tragedy of the Palestinians is that they have essentially no international support for a good reason: they've no wealth, they've no power, so they've no rights.

I've had this set for a few months now and, for the life of me, can't recall what dealer I bought it from. Probably some european outfit, I guess. I'm slowly going through it - listened to 6 discs so far - so, more to come.  ;).

You mentioned perhaps buying it from a lesser known dealer here in Copenhagen, Danacord, it was on sale; was just wondering if it went OK, or you decided for someone else. But if you forgot, I guess the outcome maybe wasn't truly scandalous :)

Bax: 5th Symphony.

The most symphonic of the symphonies thus far.



Kabalevsky: Violin Concerto.

Light hearted with two joyful movements framing a lyrical Andantino giocoso.
You must have a very good opinion of yourself to write a symphony - John Ireland.

I opened the door people rushed through and I was left holding the knob - Bo Diddley.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: Piano Sonata No.5 in G major, K 283; Piano Sonata No.6 in D major, K 284, the "Dürnitz". Mitsuko Uchida

Prompted by some other guys in this thread listening to Mozart sonatas on the previous pages. Damn fine playing from possibly one of our greatest living pianists. I don't always find time to listen to the Mozart piano sonatas, but I certainly respect the hell out of them.

And the best performance of Symphony No.5 IMO. Do you know Kabalevsky's 2nd Cello Concerto, with the same cover image Lol? It is a much deeper work.
Playing this morning, two of the great 20th Century symphonies (symphonies 2 'Grave' and 3 by Hilding Rosenberg):
"Courage is going from failure to failure without losing enthusiasm" (Churchill).

'The test of a work of art is, in the end, our affection for it, not our ability to explain why it is good' (Stanley Kubrick).

Cyril Scott: Symphonic Poem 'Neptune' 1933/35 (inspired by the Titanic disaster and Debussy's 'La Mer'):

My favourite of Scott's purely orchestral works.
"Courage is going from failure to failure without losing enthusiasm" (Churchill).
