Haim,

I can still remember when these CDs were in store. What made them so collectible now?

Cheers ... Oliver

Oliver,

I d'ont know. People can ask any price they want to though that does not mean that they will get it. I personally think Moravec's disc of playing Beethoven Sonatas is much more special. It is out of print too and sells for less.

Haim,

Joe Henry "Scar"

On ECM - Gary Burton with Pat Metheny, Mick Goodrick, Steve Swallow and Bob Moses playing the music of Carla Bley. I love this cover.

Having just set my antique set up in a new room [with catastrophic initial sonic consequences] I am listening to music as sound for once!

Initially the March Slave by Tchaikovsky, then the Chromatic Fantasy and Fugue by JS Bach [from Helmut Walcha] and now, much more successfully, I have just finished the First Symphony of Sibelius from Anthony Collins and the LSO.

The March was a broadcast, and not helped by Classic FM's tendency to flatten out the dynamic and over-weight the double basses with false EQ-ing.

But the Harpsichord confirmed the dreadfulness of the actual sound. The thumping of the mechanism of the instrument [in the subteranean sub-double bass region] was such that it seemed like a sub-woofer had been unsuccessfully added! The floor is interacting and to counter this the little Royd Minstrel speakers are now four foot from the wall! Not on!!

So out will come my old SBL floor isolators which will entirely remove the floor contibution!

Disruption. How irritating!

But the Sibelius caught me! I love that symphony!

ATB from George

Oliver, the Duke&Hawk is a 2007 Speakers Corner Records reissue. It sounds fine too .
