Shopping yesterday, couldn't find much to peak my interest never mind force me to open my wallet, then this came over the in-store speakers. It's not my favourite violin concerto by a long chalk, but this is a very good version

Cartoon metal anyone ?

Manowar, Kings Of Metal



Better played at maximum volume with brains switched off...

(Or does it belong to the Fromage thread ?)

Hmmm, what to play while I'm patiently waiting for a certain Bach recording to arrive - Haim, I hope it arrives this week

Currently trying to shake the house up with a Prokofiev battle (much easier to clean with the dust vibrating about).

The Andantino from the Prokofiev's G- Piano Concerto is one of my absolute favorite movements at the moment. Can't get enough of it. It's my double dose of caffeine. It just blows me away....

Doug,

I am waiting as well for two Bach recordings. The new Partitas double disc of Andras Schiff on ECM and Concertos with Julia Fisher on Decca.

Which one is arriving, the Hussong or the Tharaud?

Haim

On Silver!

If you can stand L.A.'s heavy from the late 80's (!), this one is not bad.

Love/Hate, Wasted In America

Neko Case - The Tigers Have Spoken; A Fine Frenzy - Bomb in a Birdcage

Haim,
The Stefan Hussong should come by the coming midweek! The Tharaud will come before Christmas. I'm actually going to be ordering the Martin Helmchen Brahm's and the new Schubert with Helmchen / Fischer in the next day or two. I really like the playing of Martin Helmchen and of course, Julia Fischer. You'll like the Bach. I'm sure.

Very sweet singing, Mark. Gabby should have been on the field so they could all have seen her on top of hearing her.
