I say! Quite interesting!



Britten conducting Britten and Culshaw making sure it gets on tape properly. Lots of unusual noises from the orchestra. Damn good show, alas.

Yes, all fine.
New birch ply arm board at 228 mm p2s drilled for the Bokrand arm base, nulls at 61 and 117 mm. Splurged on a Korf ceramic headshell for the AT33PTG/II. Sounds great, really.

Did you do all the work yourself?  Impressive!

Wish that I knew how to do those kind of things.

Spinning.



Not a conductor or orchestra associated with the composer. They go for it, which is the only way that works for Nielsen. The side drum is suitably wild and after doing his bit sulks off exit right, also impressed my the wailing woodwind. What a symphony! Cover notes by Robert Simpson.

Not me. I was given a collection, appx. six book, cases just before Christmas. This Midsummer and Billy Budd were the only Britten works in it.

That is true but I would particularly like to hear that Kletzki presentation.

Far as I am aware the only example of a Kletzki Nielsen recording.

Yes, I suspected so but was not sure. Hence my original keen interest.

Last night's spin. Nice sounds, great singing, but I guess somewhat let down by the Decca Ace of Diamonds issue.

Manny years ago I attended a Leppard concert at Dorking Halls. A conductor best known for Baroque repertoire and yet takes to Bax like a duck to water. Not given a fair crack of the whip by record companies, sadly.

Now there is one. For some weird reason only the filename part of the url was included.

Long, but worth it for the Brian Wilson anecdote alone.
