Ok, this is probably a first for me.
When my stepdad passed, several boxes of assorted stuff went into my brother's loft. Now he is moving house so having a clearout. Hundreds of books, CDs, records, DVDs. Very little that i would give house room to (never heard of The Kaye Sisters, but a shitload of 7" singles).
All of it is going to the charity shop, but I kept back a few classical CDs on Deutsche Gramophone label. I randomly picked this one first - I actually recognise a lot of what's on it, so may keep it.

As for the rest, we'll see.
Next one: I recognise this too - perhaps my stepdad just went with 'popular' classical.

Steve - I would encourage you to listen to a few more of the classical CDs. It's a huge genre, and you may find some surprises and likes amongst them.Quote:

Thanks Barry, I certainly will be keeping the rest of these CDs - I now have a grand total of eight! But the first two I played I found enjoyable in their quite different ways. And it helped that my set up seemed to like the genre, sounding somehow relaxing and dynamic! I wasn't expecting that...Quote:
