Blomstedt Yay.
Not heard his Sibelius before now.
The 3rd symphony, a difficult work to pull off, is marvellously done - such precise playing.

Ah!
Playing it now, John.
Hindemith is not my usual fare, but quite enjoying this.
I have no idea if it's a good or bad performance, though!
The sq is certainly very fine.

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.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

Most annoying this won’t read in CD player or Mac CD player, I was trying to digitised it onto NAS drive. Ended up playing on DVD player, feeding usb and into Audacity to record digitally and then transfer to NAS drive. I have noticed the odd click, and am beginning to suspect SACD/CD degradation going on, very annoying, especially as this is a great recording.
