Well I wanted to color things up a little bit Bill!
And get attention for this fine disc of course.
Goodmorning to you my friend!

"Gotta" bring the family down to the workroom (where our computer is) and show them this one....still LOL!  Now that is the kind of "shock" humor we appreciate at this end Harry.

Listening today to #4 (BPO) - quite a different performance from the #8 (LPO) which I heard yesterday.  Takes only 5 minutes less.

No 'rap.' He got sent down for four years and deservedly so. Wait until those cons get there hands on him. He'll be singing castrato once he removes his genitals from his mouth. :o

Would you buy a CD by this paedo?


Obviously not anymore.

But, prior to this development, if you are a Handel fan you often have no choice but to buy his CDs, as often his are the only ones available for some works, even for really big pieces like this Alexander, also Joshua and Joseph and his Brethren. This is why I started the Handel vs Bach chain in the 'composers' section.

I was inspired by the Handel vs. Bach thread in the composer forum, so had to enjoy this piece again. Very agreeable performance, beautiful recording and Harmonia Mundi's usual skill and attention to packaging a product that makes every detail a show piece.

Well call the Captain a ossifrage, and let him be boiled in pigpie soup, no, you have caught me in the act my friend. See this one for the first time, honest, and there goes the bottle! :P

Carl Friedrich Abel.

Symphonies opus 17.

All six of them!

The Hanover Band/Anthony Halstead.

Well whatever Abel wrote, and whatever CPO recorded, I have it all, and I love it all.
Not a single piece of this happy go lucky composer, is offending to the ears, or mind, if you are real sensitive.
A good scribbler of notes, and by the look of his picture a connoisseur regarding women and wine.
Tony Faulkner the engineer is of course one of the greatest button wizard in the whole of Britain, and you hear that!
You guessed it, my kind of music, a man after my own heart. :)

Today's my lucky day, definitely! I have a disc unknown to Harry. :)

Actually it was an exotic beast for me too when I first saw it in the house of an acquaintance but after spinning it a little I decided I must have it and there it is.

The music is gorgeous and so is the recording.

Go Bill!




My girl heard me listening to Du Pre/Barenboim's rendition of Schumann's Cello Concerto last night, and now she can't get enough of it.

Life is berry berry goot on this end as well  ;) ;D.



Now listening to:

I would, without reservation, Robert King has been found a criminal and deserves to be dealt with as such. That is without question, but he did not summon these recordings forth from the ether alone. There are dozens if not hundreds of committed artists and performers and other employees of the label who worked very hard doing a job they love. They do not deserve to be penalized because of the degenerate and harmful acts of one man.

Right now, I'm listening to the Suk Trio performing Dvořák's piano trios... tho' my cover art is not as bright as SimonGodders' a few pages back...

You must play her Du Pre's recording of the Elgar Cello Concerto with Barbirolli.  :o
