Until it arrived in my mail today, perhaps you were :-)

I've not yet listened to The Big Piece, but I've much enjoyed all the rest so far.

Ralph Vaughan Williams, Symphony No. 7 (Antarctica) (Haitink\London Philharmonic)

It's been a long time since I last listened to it. The work hasn't weakened a bit.

Bought it for 4 € - (cut-out-bin-treasure...)

Fascinating music. More comments after a second hearing.

Antarctica seems to have an intrinsic durability ........

Antarctica seems to have an intrinsic durability ........

How so? I think it is shallow sub-standard Vaughan Williams, along with Nos. 1, 2, and 8.

but when global warming melts the whole country, I think RVW will have to withdraw his symphony and all of its recordings......

[Dana]

Well I'm stuck in bed with the flu today, so maybe it's time to compensate for the fact that yesterday I did not listen to any music at all!

Maybe that's why you're sick!

Respighi: Roman Festivals

Royal Philharmonic Orchestra
Enrique Batiz, conductor

had to listen to this one again, heard it once a few years ago and was amazed at the orchestration. So I listen again, and think wow, it sounds a lot like Stravinsky! But there's some parts that just sound unimaginable!

[Lilas Pastia]

Marin Marais, Viols suites. The perfect soothing stuff, better than Noxzema.

I forgot: Shostakovich symphonies 7 and 8, Moscow Philharmonic, Kirill Kondrashin. That's where the rash came from

Actually, Greg, although 98% of Antarctica is ice, even if all of the ice melts, there will remain a tiny stub of land ........ and I submit that this small land mass has proven to be most durable .........

Hmmm..... maybe then if that happens he should rename it the "Sinfonia Anta...."

Thomas Tallis.
Volume VI.
Music for the Reformed Church.
Chapelle du Roi/Alistair Dixon.
Signum recording 2000.

This was a best buy this year. I revel in all the recordings in this box. It is undoubtable the best singing I ever heard, concerning Thomas Tallis.

RACHMANINOV:     Liturgy of St John Chrysostom        / Chorus of Bulgarian Radio, Milkov  (EMI)

A beautiful and very touching music in a perfect interpretation. Milkov presents the complete Liturgy, including all the Litanies.

[Florestan]

Good morning all!
