Oh yeah. I like that one a lot. I saw her in concert (at the Hordern Pavilion!) many years ago, and apart from some incoherent ramblings between songs thought it one of the best shows I had (have) ever seen.

Winky - do you come down here often? The Hordern is quite a good venue.

I grew up in Newcastle (Oz - not UK) and lived around there most of my life. I don't get back there much these days, though.

Recently acquired with many other cassette tapes which really are almost given away these days… so an economical way to discover music.
I’ve never really been a Brahms fan, but these two tapes allow the music to be appreciated and I am nicely surprised to hear very good solo play and orchestral work. These two tapes came with two others that were once part of someone’s collection of:
‘The Great Composers and their Music’ by Marshall Cavendish

nymph

Natasha Bedingfield "Pocketful of Sunshine"

Vaughan Williams, Symphony number 4 - BBC Symphony Orchestra conducted by Ralph Vaughan Williamss recorded at Abbey Road studio number 1 in 1937 - fabulous mono.

By now, I guess it would be fair for you to try and contact Chris and tell him directly of your appreciation, Haim.
Seriously - he is not a BIG name in Germany (and hence, internationally), so I believe he would value serious shoulder tapping.

Not joking, I like that disc very much, myself. (Funny: Get's played in the car, a lot...)

cheers
Stefan
