I love music. Sadly, I'm an audiophile too.

Yeah, but it's done in a whiff.
Dacapo, alas.

So, what do you say to those who claim that Brainin is not for diabetics? (I like that recording, but I also see the point... )

Just a wee bit of flubbing in the last movement of the K.614, perhaps.

DSCH SQ1.

I need to revisit the DSCH quartets soon. I haven't heard all of my new Borodin CD set, the first (only?) complete cycle of the 15 by the group. I just wish Melodiya's packaging for box sets was more sturdy.  :-\

Haven't been able to enjoy any serious music for some time, so I wisely took a break so that I could come back refreshed, and it seems to have worked well. Listened to Schoenberg's Pelleas and Melisande (Boulez/Erato); hit the spot.

Been there, done that... and come to a same kind of a conclusion: "easy" listening won't do the trick. My routes back have often been even more daring, though. Even later Schoenberg has been involved.  :)

'I lingered round them, under that benign sky: watched the moths fluttering among the heath and harebells, listened to the soft wind breathing through the grass, and wondered how any one could ever imagine unquiet slumbers for the sleepers in that quiet earth.' ~ Emily Bronte

Rudolph Simonsen, Symphonies 1 & 2, Overture, Soenderjyllands SO, I.Yinon
cpo

Overture is splendid... the second movement of the first symphony a little slow going and heavy... but altogether good on the ears.

Very nice indeed....

The man that hath no music in himself,
Nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds,
Is fit for treasons, stratagems, and spoils.
The motions of his spirit are dull as night,
And his affections dark as Erebus.
Let no such man be trusted.

-- William Shakespeare, The Merchant of Venice

Richard Egarr's set of Bach's WTC I on Harmonia Mundi.  A few days ago I listened to this set and very much enjoyed Egarr's rubato.  Last night it didn't sound so good - sort of rubato by the numbers.  Maybe I was just too tired.

Sad.   But I've got a new WTC II on piano that's making me very happy and this is the third or fourth go around!  :)  If she has also recorded the WTC I, I will certainly try to get it.

Yes, her set is very rewarding.  As for her WTC I, there isn't any.
