Sorry for stealing your photo, I still can't work out how to upload pictures...
Anyway, having seen your post earlier in the week, I spotted a CD copy of this today in a local charity shop at 50p - would have been rude not to have bought it!! It's on the player now and sounding great.Quote:

-- disc 2 & 3 from this superb 4 CD set.
On CD
Ludwig van Beethoven: Symphony No. 5 in c minor Op. 67
Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Wilhelm Furtwangler
EMI CDC 7 47120 2
Classic mono recording from the 1950's
Furtwangler and Beethoven what's not to like?
Not spinning but streaming!
More Furtwangler with the Vienna Philharmonic - this time the Schubert Symphony No. 8 the "Unfinished" so only two movements. Sounding pretty good via FLAC files, not bad for an old mono recording from January 1950...
Files are loaded on a Synology NAS drive, and streaming over wifi to my Cambridge Audio Stream Magic 6, if anyone is interested.
LP
http://www.classical-and-c.com/Boult...lliamsSym6.jpg
-- happily, after cleaning the LP is in good enough condition even for the quiet and eerie final mvt of the 6th. Excellent performance of the 6th and the Lark
I can't be having with the operas, but these early symphonies are interesting. Quite Beethovenesque.

-- transcriptions for baroque harp of major Bach works - violin sonata BWV1004 (with the chaconne), BWV 903
I've had this for a few years since hearing some of it at one of Tom's classical bake-offs.
I feel I should like it - but every time I play it I just get bored. :scratch:
Be strong, jandl100! - it's now on the Sell pile. :)
Ah, this is more like it .... :exactly:

I've scrolled back and have been unable to find the "reasons stated previously", hence the question. However, if you've lost interest in the thread, dude, you've lost interest. No worries :)Quote:

Ah, gotcha! Plus it must've been a bit of a ball-ache photographing and uploading pics of every album you've been listening to... The rest of us just do it the easy way! ;)
Marco.
Actually it's not, takes less than a minute but I can think of an even easier way, don't post any pics :D saves all that time uploading to a hosting service :thumbsup:Quote:

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:

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

The idea is that in an earthquake it will rock a lot but there is nothing to snap.Quote:

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.Quote:

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:

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: ....
