Resorting to my work computer to download, which is a windows machine.

It is inexcusable!  This is not the 90s, there have to be almost as many Mac users as Windows users out there.

Does anyone here have experience with a VPN which would give me a UK IP number? :)
If you have Norton, you can select to use a UK VPN. This is how I watch some of the BBC streams.

Turn off secure vpn. in switching it back on, select the UK as a region. Re-start.

I always pronounce it ko-buz but mostly because I know nobody would correct me if I was wrong!

It is a Kazakh stringed instrument, so don't try to frenchify the name.  kobyz probably pronounced ko-bees??

The current free FLAC/MP3 download from Classic Selections is the excellent version of Rach. Symphony No.2 by Vernon Handley and the RPO



This is the original release cover but its been licenced to various companies with various covers since.  But it remains a version well worth hearing - and for free not to be missed....

Thanks.  I never heard of them before.  I see that they also have the magnificent Gewandhaus Q set of Beethoven SQs for a cheap price.
