You can compress the file with Winrar and split the single audio file in 99mb fragments. Once all the parts are downloaded the file is reconstructed by normal decompression. You can also split the heavy file with Hhsplit (I've been downloading videos of 1,4gb each that way).

Thank you Manuel. Will keep in mind for next time.

This time I split the tracks with an mp3 splitter. The introductory announcements are also split, so if you don't want to hear them, you can skip.

When someone downloads, can you tell me what that encore Chopin piece is

Nicely chosen synonym there in track 6  and don't tell me it was mere freudian slip.

If so at least it should make your missus happy  0:)

Second Impromptu

I must have not listened to that for a while then 

[Lilas Pastia]

An impromptu session is in order, then!

Yes!
I can't believe how unfamiliar this piece sounded to me. My memory is not the best  but I was pretty convinced that this was one of the lesser known works seldomly recorded if at all

Downloaded! Thank you for your time and effort.

no problem Maciek.
I was also lucky enough to find an earlier recording of the 3rd sonata along with some others from a Melodiya LP rip. I will put that one up as well if anyone's interested.

[Maciek]

if anyone's interested.

Silly question! Don't hesitate one minute.

D'accord.
Is flac format a problem? There is the regular hiss and pops of LPs, I don't want to add to that by overprocessing the files.

[Maciek]

Flac certainly isn't a problem for me (quite to the contrary) - I don't know about the others, of course.

I've seen several references to a live recording of Bruckner's Symphony No. 7 by Boulez/VPO, but I have not been able to find this recording.   If someone has it, would you be so kind as to upload it and post the link here?  Thanks!

May 5th, '05? I have that in very low quality wma (55mb for the whole thing) if that would do? I haven't even listened to it - I appear to have a fetish for collecting pointless performances - but if anyone else has it in higher quality it'd be more useful to me.

I've got it at the same rate. It's not a pointless performance by any means: a very lithe, swift, lyrical reading that is anything but superficial. I find it's one of the few performances of the symphony that leaves me feeling the third and fourth movements do successfully resolve the questions posed in the first two.

Oh, I'd never class anything by Boulez/VPO as that (I can't think of a more guaranteed "hit" combination). But without a bitrate of at least 192 (preferably much higher), it feels wasted to invest any effort into listening closely to it, especially next to fine CD performances, and as such, I am not sure why I keep downloading performances encoded that low. Mania for collecting I guess

What bitrate is the WMA?  If it is at least 128 kbps it'll do.  Anything lower and I probably won't bother to listen to it.  I'm not a snobbish audiophile, but I do have my standards.

128 indeed. http://www.mediafire.com/?cb12f8yy2y5 I don't count anything below 128, it ceases to even resemble music at that point
