A rather nice performance...rendered all the better through my new set of Atohm GT1 speakers. Oh...and it was chosen in lament of Copenhagen which seems to have been scuppered before it began, well according to the Guardian anyway. Oops getting close to multiple postings in the wrong forums. As it says in the liner notes "Dies irae, dies illa, solvet saeclum in favilla". Well that would do it.

What is amazing, is that you cannot see it the way you used to anymore once you know. At least I can't.

First heard at the Paris HiFi show this year and demo'd at the local store. Terrific with Naim in my view. Don't think they have much penetration in the UK but very well reviewed over here. Must stop now as this really is becoming a posting on the wrong thread. Tim

Don't know that one.. but anything on the LSO live label is usually top notch (do you recommend?)... The Beethoven cycle under Haitink and Sibelius under Davis are also particularly good. Seem to remember having heard Davislim singing in Australia a few years back. T

His drawings, as well as being sexy, also had great style and technique. There are books published of his Playboy and Esquire work around. Pornography or art? I would say the latter, but probably quite racy for their time.

He used an Airbrush, I use a similar model of Airbrush myself in the real world!
