Sigh. It would be so nice if record labels remembered not all of their customers do downloads.

Whoa, I didn't even notice that. That surprises me because this is the sort of physical release that I imagine would make the money - 2 huge names and a world famous orchestra/chorale - that feels like money.

Another batch-downloads.

Cough cough

Meanwhile the government shutdown here in the US seems to trapped my orders with the Mozart quintet set in customs.

I have The Barber of Seville sung in German. The way Hermann Prey successfully stuffing what seems like dozens of consonants into every bar of music has to be a superhuman achievement!

Well, what @Wanderer said: French is an improvement over German, so why not? After all, it's Mozart, it should sound great even sung in Tagalog.

And actually, when I wrote my comment I confused DEADS with CFT.

Not a 'konzept' thing, just the 'normal' Requiem plus a new composition by Fazil Say.

The 4-movement version in the most recent attempt at completing the work.

Shelley is fond of 'concept' programs. After his 8 discs of mixed Robert/Clara/Johannes works on that same label, they ride again with a series of 4 discs mixing R. Strauss with contemporary canadian composers works that are supposed to be somehow related to the main offering (Don Juan and Death and Transfiguration here).

Fortunately Royal Mail Tracking had a map and photo of a letterbox so I knew which street and house to go to in order to retrieve it

Both are excellent in my view, heard them several times and am still delighted.

The features these all have in common are they're on sale and have "shipped in 3-4 days" inventory status.

@Harry will be happy to know he is to blame for Enigma Fortuna

This landed today. Not really delayed by the shutdown. But my prior order, which was shipped a full week before this one, seems to be in USPS limbo.

Just happened to look up a recording was interested in, and all 5 were on sale, so ... Okay, now I'm done for a few months, lol - the Tartini was the only thing on my list.
