Eeek ! Being that I'm over 6 foot tall and 240 lbs, that could make one a tad claustrophobic !

Good morning Andy and the same to you and yours............

Prokofiev Violin Sonata in F minor (Richter/Oistrakh).   

Molto bene!

[Danny]

Molto bene!

A wonderful recording!  I especially love the Allegro brusco!   

[Maciek]

That Friedrich painting is awesome! I really love it. Will need to get that CD for the cover alone.

Harry, as a Telemann expert, what's your take on Brilliant's Taffelmusik with Jan-Pieter Belder? Recommended or not?

Yes my friend absolutely! That set gave me immense pleasure, only to be surpassed by the MDG recording I have.
But this Brilliant set had me swinging in the listening room, time and time again.
Well played, and very well recorded on original instruments.
My verdict is, buy it.

[karlhenning]

That Friedrich painting is awesome! I really love it.

It's just so much more like the Vaughan Williams Sinfonia antartica.

That painting is overselling Beethoven 

[Maciek]

True. But maybe that's the way Gilels plays them.
