Posted by: Richard Dane on 01 January 2013
With 2013 upon us, it's time to start a fresh thread. I've gone back to an earlier thread title because often the "why" is the most interesting part of the post.
Anyway, links:

Warm summer evening after work music......brewing up some coffee...G
Arrived today. Listened to it in the car this afternoon but sounds way better in main system. If you like KJ, you will love this.
On CD:-
Another one that arrived today on Naim label. Hummm... Jury still out.
1st disc. Smoooooth........
DIETRICH FISCHER-DIESKAU and GERALD MOORE
SCHUBERT: Winterreise, Op.89
I didn't think I was going to enjoy this, but how very very wrong I was. It's excellent.
However, not everybody appreciates it. I told my wife it is a rare record, she said if I play it again when she's in the room, it will be even rarer.
Great live too
listening to this while awaiting the new one...

Review by Basil Clement
... I do not feel, however, that this recording can be ignored. It is the earliest available recording of "Parsifal" from Bayreuth, so it is of historical importance. However, it is perhaps more suitable for obsessive collectors than those wanting to buy a first "Parsifal".
Freshly cleaned on the Moth...
