I thought that one of my newly-acquired classical CDs might be just the thing for a Sunday morning, and I was rightWhat is surprising me is just how much is sounding familiar - my brain must have been absorbing it all those years ago while i thought I was just tolerating it.
I just dropped in, to see what condition my condition was in

Rather than listening to the largely depressing news on the radio, I have been inspired to copy Steve's brilliant idea of playing the Beethoven Violin concerto.
But I'm going to play Anne-Sophie Mutter's performance with the New York Philharmonic, cond. Kurt Masur.

Excuse my ignorance Barry, but is the one you are playing a different piece of music to mine, or the same but from a different composer/orchestra? These are the kind of things that confuse me.Originally Posted by Barry

It is the same composition: Beethoven's Violin Concerto in D-major, Opus 61. However in your case the violinist is Shlomo Mintz and the Orchestra is the Philharmonia Orchestra conducted by Giuseppi Sinopoli.
Same bit of music, but different soloist and different 'band'.

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!”

Thank you Barry, I thought that might be the case but wasn't sure.
I followed it with this, but had to eject it pretty quickly (Anita still in bed)I didn't know it would be the opening of 2001: A Space Odyssey
too much drama for 8am...
I'll save this one for when I have the house to myself
