Hmm. The Flagello I enjoyed, and he is on my 'want more' list - the Rosner I can live without!

Just the Prelude in B major Op.16-1 is worth the entire session. A miraculous disc.

I love these old thick as a brick microgroove platters. According to the Ronpenndorf website (where I lifted a pic of a similar pressing, below) this disc was probably pre 1950! 63 years later, having been made decades before I was born, I can still throw it on my TT and enjoy the music. I love that!
Lyrics are the ramblings of man, sometimes inspired by The Creator, most often, not.
But music (melodies, harmonies, rhythms), that's God stuff.
Always was. Always will be.
One of the biggest lies ever told was that only certain kinds of people should listen to certain kinds of music.

Recently oiked out a much-neglected Music For Pleasure LP of Tchaikovsky (Nutcracker suite) and Mendelssohn (Midsummer Nights Dream suite). I was surprised to find it played by the Hollywood Bowl Symphony Orchestra conducted by Felix Slatkin as that fact had never registered with me.
Doing a bit of digging I found it was from a 1957 US-only Capitol disc. The MFP disc (undated) hails from the days when it was a Paul Hamlyn company, and the pressing quality would put many modern-day releases to shame.
With sparkling performances in Capitol's "Full-dimensional sound" this was a happy find. The recording is wide rather than deep, and more like a "pit orchestra" sound than the typical concert-hall.

Kind of a 'thick' sound, but listenable, and very fine performances.
AbFab!- superb in every way.
Both the above on LP.

Lovely music - not very demanding, just melodious and nice to listen to.
