Very nice, Jerry - gorgeous piano! :eek:
Currently spinning this (on minty vintage vinyl, from 1963). Hitting the spot nicely for some relaxing Sunday evening listening, whilst polishing off the claret from this afternoon's repast:

Lurvely :)
Marco.
Fantastic bit of history, Jerry, and what timing from her old hands!
Marco - I have that very same LP :)
Nice one, Martin. When was the last time you played it - why not give it a spin? :)
Marco.
History? - well, yep, but the sound on that Nikoloeyeva/Shosty DVD is excellent! ;)
And another DVD played, and shared with Mrs jandl ....

Sadly only via Spotify, but still enjoyable. Would quite like the box set of Gielen's Mahler but it is seriously expensive :(
......Updated........
The Black Madonna is available on Spotify :) :wow: Nice find Jerry

Excellent music, and fab transparency and speed to the sound, there's a real spang to it. Love it!

Ooooo - I do so love Vaughan Williams music.
This is a great CD of some of his best songs, beautifully sung and with great sq. Now available from Naxos, as well. :thumbsup:

Well - this should clear the dust from the light fittings! :eek:
It's not all loud and dynamic, though - much beauty to be heard as well. The 2nd symphony has the same sort of ethereal sadness as the 3rd symphony in places.

Currently listening to the 5th from this set.
It's very good - intense, beautiful, dynamic, wonderfully played - quite possibly my fave recording? --- :scratch:
