A lot of the old pubs have become part of chains now, but the Royal Oak near Pirbright (on the road from Aldershot) should suit you very well and is between Guildford and Bisley.
There's also the White Hart on Pirbight Green.
Hope this helps. :D:D
:cool:
I know, and it does my head in. Thankfully, here in (largely rural) North Wales, things are different and we still have most of our characterful old pubs. I can't stand chains, as they all serve the same standardised, mass-produced bullshite! :rolleyes:Quote:
A lot of the old pubs have become part of chains now...
It's a sign of the times, I guess... Most people now, when eating, seem to prefer quantity to quality; 'cheap and cheerful' is paramount, whereas I'm the exact opposite! I value quality, individuality, and food made from the best local produce.

Marco.
Nice haul Marco! :)
If it isn't a trade secret, which little shop was selling these? :rolleyes:
There's MUCH more to come - lol! I know very little about what's good to have or not in classical music, so is some of the stuff I got not bad? :)
I'm not sure what it was called. Speedy Steve will know... It was a little antiques shop, on the right, on the way from Bisley to Guildford - is it the A3222, or something?
You can't miss it. If you go, there's still plenty of vinyl there in the back shop :cool:
Marco.
I think I know it - at Worplesdon. Will have to have a nose round.
Thanks Marco. :cool:
Perryhill - that's the one, matey! Hope you find some good gear there :cool:
What do make of some of the stuff I've manage to 'purloin'? Any stand-outs you can see? :)
Marco.
These would be my picks, Marco, but obviously YMMV :eyebrows:
The Suisse Romande and the Decca Eclipse issues should be good, and the Cochereau organ too; I've an ASV issue of Cochereau improvisations which are monumental!
The Marriner/Elgar is typically stylish ASMF fare, and Boult's Enigma is self recommending.
Happy listening :)

Marco.
Some good ones there, Marco, and a great haul overall.
I'd love to hear the Rite of Spring, Widor's 10th, the Beethoven Violin Concerto and the Brahms 2nd Piano Concerto in particular.
:stalks: Did I hear someone yell,
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL !!!!!!!!!!!!
From my wife's collection... which has been absorbed in to my collection. ;)

No worries... I'll bring those with me next time I come down :)Quote:

These are in virtually 'as new' condition, and quite wonderful things, beautifully illustrated and presented, and containing some of the most superbly recorded classical music I've ever heard, all on minty super-heavyweight vinyl! :cool:
Marco.
Recent listening Chez-J ...
Philip Glass - Satyagraha. An opera. A modern one, very much so! ;)
I have little patience with standard opera but this is fab and quite unusual. It's in Sanskrit, and the verses are adapted from the Bhagavad-Gita. :eyebrows:
Go on, have a listen to some of it ...
Hmm .. the YT embedding doesn't seem to be working. :scratch: Try this ...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wU7HcvfpMzQ
BAX - Tintagel (tone poem) & 7th Symphony on a Naxos CD. Tintagel is wonderful - a "La Mer"-ian seascape of great power. The symphony is a bit more problematic for me, and will require yet more listening, I think.
Fernando Sor - songs for voice & lute. Sung by the gorgeous Montserrat Figueras on an Astree CD. Yummy.
Ah, Philip Glass . . .
I do like Koyaanisqatsi: haven't got the t-shirt, but do have it on DVD-A, CD, LP and DVD video. The film that launched a thousand visual advertising cliches :lol:
Last night was a Malcolm Arnold night:
- The stunning Reference Recordings album of Arnold conducting his own overtures (HDTracks hi-res download)
- Tod Handley's Grand Grand Overture on Conifer, with virtuoso vacuum cleaners
- Concerto for Harmonica with Larry Adler on RCA (needledrop download)
If you like Philip Glass, do listen to the 1st Violin Concerto. It's mesmerising, and I was lucky enough to see it live last year and hear Glass speak before the performance.
Will do! :)Quote:

So many folks not, or only recently, into Sibelius. :scratch:
But it's wonderful!
Here's a tip - get to know the Sibelius violin concerto on any recording except one - then buy the version with Christian Ferras and HvKarajan and hear how it should be played!
But where to start with Sibelius? ... the tone poems probably, if you are new to the composer. Gibson, Karajan, Saraste, Ashkenazy ... so many excellent performances.
Then have a go with the symphonies ... 2 & 5 are probably the places to start. Then get into the more "serious" works ... 4, 6 & 7.
So much superb music to explore! :eek:
Recent spinning things ...
Elgar 2nd symphony - Solti - Decca LP.
Mozart Concerto for Flute & Harp. Bennet, Ellis, Leppard on ASV LP.
Brahms 2nd symphony - Jochum EMI LP. Wonderful performance - taut and exciting! Might fine sq, too.
Malipiero orchestral pieces - Naxos CD conducted by the wonderful Peter Maag. Malipiero was an Italian contempory of Respighi - his music is really tuneful and accessible. I've ordered another CD, this time of some symphonies. :)
Just been listening to (all on minty vinyl), whilst sipping a glass of vintage Armagnac and devouring some of Del's home-made Crème Brûlée... Man, I LOVE Christmas! :eyebrows: :cheers:

Is this a "Stereo Gold Award" LP ? These were one of the first budget labels. I remember buying an 1812 and New World from Woolworth's for 49 pence in the early 70s. :)Quote:

Sounds fine for a budget label... The early 70s were before my record buying days, Pinky & Perky aside! ;)
Marco.
Yesterday ....
Rawsthorne - cello concerto, orchestral variations, sting quartets & duo for 2 violins 1, 2 & 3. All on Naxos CDs. Interesting stuff and surprisingly accessible (he has a reputation for being 'difficult'.)
Bax - Tintagel & 7th symphony (again) on Naxos CD
I've seen some of these Damont discs going for a BIN of £5 or more on fleabay. I needledropped mine a few months ago - bit crackly - even after a couple of washes, and a somewhat dubious acoustic but good to listen to. :)Quote:

Mine's minty, though. I'm extremely particular about the used records I buy. I'll only buy them if they're a little dirty or dusty, so that once I run them through the RCM, they come up like brand new... Scratches and scuffs are strictly a no-go!
An RCM really is an invaluable (I would say essential) tool, if like me, you're an avid buyer of used vinyl :)
Marco.
Couldn't agree more!Quote:

No, not yet. Maybe after Crimbo. I have to use a wheelchair (but do have an adapted car I drive my chair into from the back - for someone else to drive). Will need to phone the shop to see what access is like . . :rolleyes:
Hi Bob, ah, sorry to hear that... Knowing what the shop is like, it could be difficult. The owner, however, was very friendly, so I'm sure he will help you as best as he can :)
Marco.
Cheers Marco. I'll give the guy a call and see what's what. Or I can send the Missus out on a recce. :eyebrows:
Recently listened -
- Glinka - Ruslan and Ludmilla Overture - Chicago SO/Solti (RCA LIving Stereo)
- Janacek - Sinfonietta - Abbado/LSO (Decca)

Recent listening ...
Malipiero - Sea Symphony. It's that Italian bloke again - they get everywhere! :eyebrows:. On a Naxos CD. You know, I'm getting quite enamoured with this guy. I've just now ordered a 2 CD set of his string quartets on ASV. :)
Sergio Rendine - Passio et Resurrectio. Another bloody Italian! :doh: - born 1954. And another Naxos CD.
Mmm ... this is a strange one. A big work with "soloists, speakers, percussion, chorus and orchestra". Great fun, very unusual and a very good recording. I think this is gonna grow on me. :)
Am having a Neville Marriner/ASMF morning:
- Vaughan Williams - Tallis/Greensleeves/Lark/5 Variants
- Vivaldi - 4 Seasons
(Both on Argo LP)
Berlioz - Les Nuits d'ete..The wonderful Janet Baker with glorious John Barbirolli.
I have a rather wonderful recording of this by Jessye Norman.Quote:
