What is your opinion of the best done "Eroica" symphony by Beethoven on compact disc?Thanks,Weldon
I have two recordings of this: Furtwangler's and Karajan's. Both are interpretations that in many ways hinge on struggle and triumph. Can anyone recommend a more reflective, lyrical interpretation?Many thanks in advance,Michael
I'm delving into the choral repertoire at the moment, and I thought about getting to know some of Haydn's work. I already have "The Creation" with Rattle and "Paukenmesse" with Pinnock, and I wonder if you have recommendations for any more CD's? What...
First, I don't want to suggest to any conscientious objectors that they should shop at Tesco! But...For the car (initially!) this week I bought a very cheap and - as it turns out - very excellent 2-CD compilation called "Best of the Blues" - 40 tracks...

There were quite a few good releases this year - For me the most significant album of the year was The Drift by Scott Walker. The best new track of the year was David Wainwright's Feet by HMHB.

The new Faithless album is something of a suprise. If you are expecting the usual Faithless dance festival anthem stuff, then you'll probably be surprised as this leans more towards a Boards Of Canada / Future Sound Of London type experience, which...
Went to see the chap last night with Shel, and I have to say he sure can sing. Worked the crowd very well, and the concert was well worth the dosh - at £60 per ticket!!!

Just got back from the football (Reading v Bolton) via the 3 Guineas and PoW (and some very fine Woodfordes Wherry Best and Dark Star Hophead) to an empty nest.What should I play? I pulled out "Strange Times" by the Chameleons (did I ever say I like...

Once again I'm asking your help with albums to buy Mrs Sloop for Christmas.I think some well recorded chamber music may just be the ticket. I know it's a wide canvas I've stretched before you but when it comes to classical music the cupboard is very ...
Just got a copy of this and it sounds really good, better than "Shakin' the Tree", but a best of Peter Gabriel with no "Mercy Street"? Don't you just hate it when they do things like that?Steve.
