Ye-e-e-essss (he agrees hesitantly) ... the sq is excellent - I find the pianism a bit steely and aloof and emotionally detached. I think I prefer Bronfman on Sony overall, even if the Sony sq is not as good as the EMI.Quote:

All 50p or £1 each. Oh, the 2 LP Beethoven string quartet set was 50p. Have so far played Walton 2nd symphony and Vivaldi Gloria RV588 - both excellent! :)
Nice little collection there, Jerry! :cool:
I remember buying the Walton when it came out :wheniwasaboy: Was the first time I heard the Hindemith Variations, which has become one of my favourite Walton pieces. I believe the only other recording was Tod Handley's, coupled with the First Symphony on EMI.
Jerry, are those for sale (as usual) or are you keeping them for yourself? :)
Marco.
Mine - all mine - :)
... although I might consider selling on behalf of charity for a suitable sum .... you fancy any of 'em?
