Ice queen's Fantasies.

 

It isn't narrative as Richter but better than hackneyed sugar drenched rendition of others.

Finally dusting off this Toscanini Brahms Symphony Limited Edition set.

Lether ( or maybe vinyl ? ) cover with embossed stamping with a bounded booklet. All records are in sleeves like old 78s used to come in.

Not sure how many they pressed these but mine is a serial # A815. Absolutely flawless print job with high resolution half tones.

It's like touching history. 

This is an archaic ritualistic music playing from the last century but rather have this than renting files up in the cloud.

Listening to blu Ray from Lang Lang in the Royal Albert Hall, in the hope that my Alan can be fixed today.

Third listen of this. Still not sure.  I'm being to wonder whether Steve Wilson albums have a burn-in period like Naim gear?!

For me it took like a month to get hang of this one so give it a few more spins before the final verdict.
