    I forgot, I have a CD called Napoleon's cellist, it's pieces by a little known composer who taught Bonaparte (whose name eludes me) but the works are very pleasant and if you want to listen to some little known workmanlike classical period music you cant go wrong.

    Sony recording of Yo Yo Ma's Bach Cello Suites. Exquisite but not perfect.

    I love the Bach Cello Suites. I have them variously played by Starker, Rostropovich, Ma and by Tortellier.

    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!”

    Bach's the boyo for me. I recall once hearing the famous one on some perspex open baffle speakers with DSP at Heathrow show some years ago and it was bloody marvellous!

    Ok years old now but I don't know why I didn't mention an album I've got called Napoleon's Cellist, I forget the composer's name but they are very nice pieces, there are hundreds of not quite so famous composers out there whose work deserves more visibility and some of the not-so-major labels have done a really good job of making their work available.
