Haim,

That album looks interesting.

Will have a look for it.

Hope you are all well over there?

This morning, only the ending: the prelude and the Salve Regina, some very powerful music where the bass ostinato and the regular 'woosh - chop' of the guillotine mix with the angelic singing of the nuns - which grow fewer in number with each chop.

Stu,

I'll join you with "The Flat Earth". Haven't heard it for ages.

Thanks

Sound quality is better than expected and the packaging as well as the detailed booklet of the recording sessions far exceeded my expectations - at this price a great bargain IMO.

BTW, I now have 4 of the 5 sets that are available. I passed on Louis as it is currently priced at GBP60 and all the other sets go for GBP25 on amazon.uk
