The Diner / Re: Last Movie You Watched

Revisiting The Fellowship of the Ring. I'm already on record as liking it the better, when truest to the source, so I shan't belabor the point. I'm not crazy about the fight between Gandalf and Saruman in Isengard, but I accept it, as a suitable cinematic liberty. Something which may be new upon this viewing, I think it a nice touch to have Arwen come to fetch the wounded Frodo to Rivendell.

I cannot forestall disappointment in the Council of Elrond devolving into rather a barroom brawl. There is a great deal of dignity in the books which the screenplays scuttle utterly. Just calling balls and strikes, here.

Composer Discussion / Re: Haydn's Haus

Are the Norrington performances any good? I would've thought they are instantly written-off for not using vibrato. Quite late in the game to not use vibrato, no?

They're good, except for the Second. But there are so many other Mahler recordings I can't blame anyone for skipping these.
