Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

Beethoven 9th symphony, Cluytens, Berlin philharmonic... LP .. Quite slow but wonderfully powerful and rhythmic first movement , fast and exciting 2nd, smoothly flowing slow mvt, quite a frisky finale. I really enjoyed this.
Beethoven 6th symphony, Karajan 1977, Berlin philharmonic.... LP... This has fairly poor reputation as a performance but I think it is excellent, quite fast but very exciting!

Wagner - Organ Fireworks - Hansjörg Albrecht
Surround sound SACD. You can surely imagine how this could be quite tasteless, but Albrecht is remarkably restrained in these Wagner lollipop transcriptions. The Parsifal and Tristan und Isolde being marvellously ethereal.

^^ Very nice haul, there, Marco!
A bit of a Beethoven 9th symphony binge for me yesterday ....
-- superb first 3 movements, but the choral finale got a bit squally and raucous with somewhat distorted sound. But the finale is a bit of a rumpty-tump crowd-pleaser when played with Stokowski's over-exuberance, anyway.
Then ....
Wow, wonderful performance and recording.
