2nd disc. It's fortunate that an important gap in my Franco-Flemish collection is suddenly filled. I have a wonderful Manchicourt recording by the Huelgas Ensemble, but that has a crosssection of Manchicourt's secular and sacred repertoire - no complete masses.

General Classical Music Discussion / Re: Indian Classical Music
Last post by DaveF - Today at 10:37:00 PMQuote from: aukhawk on Today at 12:22:47 AMGreat to have an Indian Music topic here.Younger brother of Vilayat, I believe. Yes, there's no comparison between the live and recorded experiences - I saw him and his sons at a late-night Indian Prom in the early '90s, and theirs, among all the other performances, is still the one that sticks in my mind. That Nimbus series was invaluable!
In London in the '70s I saw Imrat Khan perform a couple of times. Once I was in the 2nd row of the audience, wow, what a sense of connection. Imrat Khan was (I think) the son of Vilayat Khan and like him was a sitarist, but he also often performed on the surbahar, which is a larger instrument with a deeper tone and slower action, most suited to the Alap.

The Diner / Re: 7 Favorite Stanley Kubrick...
Last post by atardecer - Today at 08:43:45 PMI find his movies are brilliant visually and also often brilliant in terms of the concepts and ideas he explores. Everything else - story, dialogue, characters and his use of sound I find underwhelming.
So I have mixed feelings about his films. Can't say I have any favorites.
This said I've only seen:
2001: A Space Odyssey
A Clockwork Orange
Barry Lyndon
The Shining (I think he ruined the ending of The Shining)
Eyes Wide Shut

General Classical Music Discussion / Re: On-line Stores & Sellers
Last post by Madiel - Today at 08:36:41 PMWeird things can happen to packages AND to tracking systems. I think I narrated the bizarre case where something I ordered from a seller in the USA allegedly got close to my door before going back to Melbourne, and had CLEARLY been repackaged within Australia before I finally received it.
My favourite part was the tracking system recording an attempted delivery in a different suburb of the city followed by the comment that I was not known at that random address.
But somehow it still did turn up after all that. I really didn't think it would. But it did.
