Bit of a pleasant discovery.
Very tuneful and listenable indeed, in a ripely romantic manner.

A fine set of Mozart piano sonatas - lively and lucid.

My goodness, it's too easy to take the old masters like Klemperer for granted.
Playing Beethoven 1st symphony - and it is utterly superb in its rhythmic lucidity, precision and tonal weight.
Marvellous.
Great sq, too, from the "EMI Golden Age".

Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

Antonio Vivaldi – ‘Concerti’
Concentus musicus Wien, Harnoncourt; Concerto Amsterdam, Jaap Schröder
Played using original instruments.
Telefunken ‘Das Alte Werke’ 6.35416 (1968) 6 LP set
Do I need yet another copy of the 'Four Seasons'? No not really, but then I'm a big fan of the use of original instruments - and this version inter alia is a refreshing and interesting reading. No, it doesn't surplant the Drottingholm Consort's version in my opinion, but is a welcome addition nonetheless.
The rest of the concerti are thoroughly enjoyable as well.
