This one is also from the big gift I receiverd just before Christmas:



Probably my preferable recording of the Brahms op. 34. Sachlichkeit is good for Brahms.

Fitting cover art, but I do prefer Czech PO and Ancerl on Supraphon in this.

I am making my way slowly through this album. I quite like it.

My auntie had that LP! A happy reminder of Vox/Turnabout - an inexpensive label which introduced me to much great music (Bruckner's 7th and 8th symphonies, Copland's 'Rodeo' etc).

Another stroll down memory lane, Jeffrey. Nice  :)

Renaissance Suite [David Munrow]





I have the utmost admiration for the talent, dedication and achievements of the late David Munrow. He was immeasurably talented and he had a vision which he pursued and imposed on the musical world. This imposition, I believe, was instrumental in transforming the thinking around the performance and presentation of Early Music. I believe that he shook up the then perceived musical establishment and changed the way of looking at and thinking about Early Music forever. I believe that we owe him a great debt. He was such a tragic loss to the world of Music.

Grumlikova is a fabulous violinist. My favourite recording of Britten's VC is by her and again on Supraphon.

I hadn't heard of her before Aligreto mentioned her; I'll have to keep an eye out for her recordings!  And like you, I'm a sucker for Supraphon records.   ;D

Yes, the Supraphons had many a gem among them.

I shall be eternally grateful to Jeffrey for introducing this work to me.
We are blessed with two outstanding recordings; on a Chandos double CD Philharmonia conducted by Mathias Bambert and for LP this https://youtu.be/Sf2qJGD7RbE
I would not be without either.

I received this message in an email from an audio supply company I occasionally do business with. Very interesting if the data is correct.

EXTRA EXTRA! read all about it:  We have ALL been vindicated! After 16 consecutive years of vinyl sales increases we can now report VINYL IS BACK!  According to the Recording Industry Association of America's (RIAA) annual revenue report, vinyl records outsold CDs in the US last year for the first time since 1987, selling 41 million units against 33 million for CD.

A really rather extraordinary turn of events when all is said and done. I shipped my many hundreds of classical and rock LPs collected over decades off to dealers, just before the pandemic and haven't regretted it for an instant, though I kept a dozen or so which would have been like ripping little bits out of my soul to let go. But clearly love for the format is not just nostalgia, as Gen Z and millennials are all over them too.

Yes, I'm seeing more offerings for record players and it looks like the number of vinyl releases is increasing. Like you, there are albums I have I couldn't bear to part with, but I have thousands of lps that I'll eventually need to find a home for. Storage space is definitely an issue.

If I was a writer, one of my novels would be of a post-apocalyptic world where music is kept alive by the surviving protagonist with a huge vinyl collection and a restored Victrola.

p.s.  I do know what you mean about being storage space being an issue though.  :(
