  I should also add that the Norma is REMASTERED..........and also a classic.

I seem to remember that Callas had weight issues as well. Are you going for the fatties Marvin?

It appears that Knardahl was no welterweight, either...

  Add to the list Kristen Flagstaad's (a substantially large woman) erotic rendition of Isolde in Furtwangler's classic Tristan und Isolde and I think you might be on to something The new erato!  I mean who needs waif models when you have such heavy weight sumptuous beauties!

WELL?

Fine thanks. Apart from suffering a mild case of Grieg Overload in sympathy.

Is it possible to overload on Grieg?

  marvin

Depends. I seem to recall someone asking 'Wollen Sie den totallen Grieg?'. In that case, I'd rather say no thanks.

Make Grieg, not Krieg.

Bought for my dad:



And I bought myself these two goodies:

For your dad. I see.
I just had a sandwich for my dad. I might have a beer for him when I get home.

I seem to have introduced the notion that purchasing CDs is a matter for fun and jesting. I'm sorry.

My dad is the Mahlerian in the family and he didn't own anything from Nott's series on Tudor, so this seemed like a good purchase. Speaking of Nott's Mahler, I did hear his 7th many years ago and was mightily impressed with it.

Some cheap and easy from Arkivmusic's 2 Day sale

[kishnevi]

I have long had the duo of the Ninth Symphony, the Fifth PC, and a Mozart PC.
So, after that Arkivmusic order, I decided to complete Sawallisch's Beethoven cycle off Amazon MP.

I see a lot of mainstream repertory purchases (that not there's anything wrong with that if that's what you like). I have days where I think Grieg is pretty great. I have other days where I think Grieg is overrated. Today, I'm on the fence. This said, I do think his Peer Gynt and the Piano Concerto are two of my least favorite pieces. I seem to now be of the opinion that his chamber music is better and provides a clearer view into the composer's heart. His violin sonatas are must-hears IMHO and the SQ isn't bad either.
