Last post by SimonNZ - Today at 05:10:26 PMQuote from: VonStupp on Today at 08:09:07 AMTorchwood Seasons 1 & 2 (2006-08)
John Barrowman, Burn Gorman
A spin-off from the Doctor Who reboot featuring Captain Jack Harkness in a sort-of special ops, alien procedural. Season 1 was dark and sleazy; quite unlikable. I plowed through and Season 2 course-corrected for the better.
Another dozen or more episodes in Seasons 3 & 4 to come.

I thought season 3 - the 5-episode "Children Of Earth" story - was the best in every way. I've rewatched that a couple of times since.

Elements of Sibelius and French music run throughout the work, which is better than I remembered.

Last post by T. D. - Today at 04:01:47 PMEarlier today, chamber music series at semi-local library
Hesper String Quartet w. Neilson Chen, piano
2 movements of Louis Vierne string quartet op. 12
Elgar Quintet (piano and SQ) in A minor op. 84
Bartok String Quartet #3
+ encore arrangement of Arirang (Korean trad.)
This is a very good Korean-American quartet formed in 2022 @ Emerson SQ Institute at SUNY Stony Brook. A delight to hear them in a small room. Great concert.

82' and on "period instruments" (so they're all only 100 years old?)
Period instrument Mahler? Hell, let's go for period instrument Schoenberg (Verklarte Nacht and Pelleas und Melisande) and Webern (Im Sommerwind and Passacaglia).
That Debussy disc looks intriguing. Do a separate disc with the Preludes, and all the best stuff is there on a twofer.

General Classical Music Discussion / Re: On-line Stores & Sellers
Last post by Brian - Today at 03:04:12 PMNo, shipping domestically in the US, they would not include shipping and handling costs in Texas sales tax. So that's another source of incorrect extra cost.
