Posted by: Richard Dane on 29 December 2011
With 2012 almost 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:

edit: there is a strange sound around the 6 min mark of the finale of KV537, like a shout cut short. Looking into the cause (recording error or surface blemish), sure enough the Gramophone noticed this issue in their original review.
When Queen were good
I still don't get this tune.
Come to think of it, I still don't get Brahms.

Kuma,
Perhaps you should watch this:
Haim,
I've watched it a long time ago. Sagan's novel was hugely popular along with the Bonjour Tristesse with Jean Seberg. ( sort of chic films, tho )
Altho, I can't remember a thing about the story sort of like this score here. :x
Now this is a bit better than Rubinstein/Reiner set. At least the music dose not sound like a stodgy robot.
When Queen were good
... they were really good! I'll join with
And I endorse the comments regarding Queen, 'Sheer Heart Attack' gets a regular play via the Lenco here at the Simpson household!

Happy Birthday Frans Brüggen who was born on October 30th 1934 in Amsterdam!

The complete show from 1974 - cd on 'Follow That Dream' label. One of those occasions where re-mastering has actually done some good.
I doubt a better live performance ever followed and there were plenty of them.
Nothing. 552PS & Supercap off to Naim for DR upgrades. Damn quiet in here...
Violin Sonata #2.

Couldn't they have loaned you a little Nait to fill in?

Tony,
You know where I live if you want to hear what they sound like before they come back. It's worth the wait my friend. You should have taken a leaf out of my book and taken a weeks holiday whilst they're away. I was only without music for 3 days!

Thanks for the invite Steve but I'm off to sunny Cumbria for ten days so the wait's not too onerous. The sound system up there's not too shabby.
