Quite a slow 4th, but beautifully done. Great sq, too.

Amazing music, amazing pianist, fabulous recording - played on a vintage Graf fortepiano. The music as Beethoven would have heard it. :thumbsup: ... if he hadn't been deaf by then.
Probably a bit ‘light weight’ or ‘entry level’ for this august forum, but this afternoon it was:
Bizet & Oscar Hammerstein – ‘Carmen Jones’
http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/...-40_OU11__.jpg
Marilynn Horn (Carmen). (2007)
Prokofiev –‘Peter and the Wolf’ and Saint-Saëns – ‘Carnival of the Animals’
http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/...YL._SY355_.jpg
Itzhak Perlman (narrator) with Katia and Marielle Labeque (pianos). Israel Philharmonica Orchestra, cond. Zubin Mehta.
EMI 7 47067 2 (1984)
Not too lowbrow at all, as far as I'm concerned. Didn't a young Marilyn Horne sing on that soundtrack?
My classical from this afternoon:

BTW I mispelt the name of the singer who sings the part of Carmen. It was Marilyn Horne.
Oooh, sorry. I'd posted not even noticing that you'd name checked Marilyn Horne - I wasn't trying to correct your spelling… That'll teach me to read posts in full. They just had a big 80th birthday concert for her at Carnegie Hall, I believe. Remarkable singer -- I love her in Norma with Joan Sutherland and (back to musicals) she was in the Philips/Hollywood Bowl recording of The King and I, with Julie Andrews and Ben Kingsley. Well worth searching out. The Grandi Voci CD (Decca) is worth seeking out, too.Quote:

Vinyl. On my "new" Technics 1210, that I just got today. I am so giddy with excitement it's embarrassing.
