And I often am playing recent purchases and all records are from my own collection, and I often provide brief comments on them, thus seemingly fulfilling your other requirements. You only have to express an interest (as some have done) and I am sure I would be happy to expand my prose. ;)

Or am I missing something? :scratch:
There seems to be a total disconnect here.
Can some kind soul enlighten me?

'tis marvellous and strange how differently we perceive things - still, vive la difference and all that. :cool:

+1. I also find Andy's behaviour somewhat 'unfathomable', but like you say, we're all different! :cool:

This continues to grow on me and I liked it to start with. Tuneful 'big orcehstral' with nicely raucous brass and percussion interjections. Great fun, sad and happy, good sq, too.

That misplaced insert appears to be the Wellington Town Hall. Built in the early eighties it includes a wonderful auditorium for symphony concerts. Not only that, but you can feel safe at it is built on 'seismic plates'. At an underground level the steel base rests on steel foundations. The idea is that in an earthquake it will rock a lot but there is nothing to snap.

My interest is more in the recordings than someone declaring that they are playing them today and I much prefer to see a pic of the actual record someone has because, particuarly with classical music, there are often quite a number of versions of the same recording and also differences in sleeves. So I decided to stop posting on the spinning today thread. Quite why do you have a problem with that I don't know but in future I'll post on classical recordings elsewhere.

I don't have a problem with it at all, Andy. You do whatever you like. However, up until your last post I couldn't quite understand why you no longer wished to post on this thread.

Now that you've provided a proper explanation, I do. It makes perfect sense now. Essentially, it's about being clear, rather than somewhat vague (as you were when you first announced your intentions)... ;)

Anyway, not to worry! :cool:

Marco.

-- part of a multi-CD box set, but I picked this up as an individual item on eBay.
Harpsichordist Pieter-Jan Belder. quite probably my favourite player on the instrument - such life and vivacity, amazing sound he produces. And the sq is top notch. :thumbsup:

Stravinsky early symphony Op. 1 - pure Russian romanticism, nothing like his later work! He composed it as a student in his early 20s.
I like it! :)

Just got back home after a rather nice charity shop haul :yay: ....
