You must have a massive collection Jerry. My Schubert symphonies extends to: 5, Unfinished, and Great C Major (several copies of the latter two). How few hours do you sleep a day?
Oooh, I get about 6 or 7 hours sleep.
-- but I'm retired, so I can play music any time of day. :)
Respighi: Pines of Rome, Feste Romane & Fountains of Rome,
Orchestre symphonique de Montreal conducted by Charles Dutoit
Decca 1983 SXDL 7591 (on vinyl)
One of Jerry's Charity Shop Classical LP's - and great fun! The vinyl looks rarely played, and sounds silent (well you know what I mean, there is none of the usual old vinyl background noise).
:thumbsup: -- yep, they were all pretty much Minty. A real treasure trove. Some still available if you want to re-look at the thread. ;)Quote:

I must admit I was disappointed, selfless and self-effacing to a fault. Just a bit boring, really.
I know just what you mean, have you heard Christophe Rousset's harpsichord playing? - he can never be accused of being "selfless and self-effacing to a fault. Just a bit boring"Quote:

No worries, Graeme - I know of lots of interesting pianists!
I find I have the same problem with Clifford Curzon - 'just the notes' doesn't do it for me - can you imagine Beethoven giving an emotionless performance of his own music? ... :nono: :)
