Hello all, I have seen this 2-CD set in HMV .... Egarr : complete Goldberg It is claimed to be complete [I assume all repeats] and also has canons based on Goldberg theme. I already have Edith Picht-Axenfeld on harpsichord and Gould on piano [and a few other versions including Jao Martins and Angela Hewith]. Both the Picht-Axenfeld and Gould I love [Picht-Axenfeld is 2 CD's]. Is Egarr special ? James H.

Now, as we all know, the very worst thing about CDs is............ the jewel case, which has an ability to crack and break hinges in a manner that drives us all to distraction.On the other hand, the latest Eleanor McEvoy CD, "Out There", which is well...

What a great day!Today I had the joy of meeting up with Rasher (of this here Forum) for a great day out.After a token coffee (he did offer me tea, sic) we moved on to delicious real ales (Bombadier and Youngs) at the excellent Lamb and Flag, near...

That unfunny arse with the stupid hairdo has been telling us all week how dangerous the Brit Awards were going to be as it was going out 'Live'.In anticipation of a latter day 'Jarvis' slapping his arse in front of Michael Jackson uncensored I tuned...

I'm sure this has been discussed before, but I thought it would be interesting to hear differing views on the recording quality.For instance on my system Rega3 or CD3/102/NAPSC/FC/180/Foval 816s, I've found thatBeyonce's BDay on Vinyl and Snow Patrol...

I have just finished listening to Magical Mystery Tour and the White Album, after a few years since last listening to them.Man, they sounded cold. Bass light too. The sound of Ringo's snare drum seemed especially etched and bleached.Has anyone reached...

Whilst listening to Kate Rusby, I suddenly thought what a lot of good folk singers there are these days, not just Kate, but Karine Polwart, Rachel Unthank, Lou Rhodes and Angie Palmer. Any to you'd care to add to this growing list?

Just received the new cd from the US of A of her new cd. I have been a great fan of Patty for many years and in my view has never made a bad album. Her latest is no exception, another cracker. If you like her music then this album is a must have.I...

forcione dvdIf you have not added this to your collection, you should, this terrific dvd specially recorded for Naim really captures Antonio at his best. Martin Levan did a truly great job on the sound!

Dear Forum-ers, I've looked in vain for a discography that shows any recordngs (CD or vinyl) of (Sir) Colin Davis conducting F. J. Haydn's symphonies 84, 85, 89 & 90. Would anyone be able to shed some light on this question, please, especially re. whether there are any Concertgebouw/Davis discs of the 4 abovementioned works? Thanks & cheers. Kein' Musik ist ja nicht auf Erden, die uns'rer vergleichen kann werden.

Years and years ago I saw a video of my fave band Swervedriver doing Duel - one of their best songs. The video was on a Playstation game. I've wondered if I'd ever see it again, but YouTube have come up trumps and completely by accident I've found...

Now, I'm ready to get more into Wagner, as I'm now listening to Solti's Walkure on Decca which I find really nice! So, now I will plunge out for a Ring cycle, and I wonder if I should get the classic Solti set or the recently released, critically...

I've just bought a CD copy of "The Remasters" of Judas Priest's Defenders of the Faith - yeah cheesy as hell I know, but what memories! It's playing now and sounds as if the speakers are behind about three feet of bath sponge.This a reflection of the...

Not a definitive or exhaustive "best of" list, just a bunch of albums released in 2006 I thought were really great, in no particular order:1. The Beatles - LOVE ... nothing less than a masterpiece in my view2. John Mayer - Continuum ... I wasn't a...

I've tried doing a serach on this album but none can asnwer my question. I do not own a copy of this and was wondering, do I get the remastered CD (6 quid from CD101) or go for a 3LP set (22 quid) - but not sure if its the remastered version. If the...

Does anyone know a good cd review website? I've had good luck in the past with some magazines' reviews but would prefer to go online. My music interests are jazz and classical, but also some folk, country and pop. Does anyone remember the mag CD...
