1) Get booked into a w/e conference (which you may or may not want to go on - immaterial to this tip). 2) Wife and kiddies use opportunity of your absence to go away to the Out-Laws for the w/e. [The Out-Laws bit is vital : plans cannot be altered - under any circumstances, just try depriving Granny of a w/e with the grandchildren...] 3) Go down with Pneumonia the day before the Conference, so you can't go on it, but SWMBO and sprogs still have to go to Granny's. The decks are now cleared.
I spent much of last weekend enjoying two very fine opera recordings which, both recommended to my by Graham55. Now, the two of us don't always see eye to eye, or perhaps, ear to ear (over Kleiber jnr's Brahms 4th symphony, for example) however, I can...

I have Gould performing the AoF, but I want to hear something different. I wish Perhaia would record it, or they could find a Landowska.... Has anyone got any recommendations of something that's easily available? Quartets as well as...
I'm curious about this ECM artist, and I would like to buy one album by him. Does anybody know which album is best? I think I have read some positive things about "Conte de L'incroyable Amour" somewhere, but maybe some other albums are even better?
What are some of his better recorded CDs? Thanks!
Anyone seen this with the line-up of Sugarbabes, Jimmy Page, Stevie Wonder etc etc? Brilliant - I laughed my socks off, and it was so well done too. Loved the Keith Moon moment.I could watch that every day.
Absolutely superb concert by the only band, that I’d drive 150 each way to see. It was definitely worth the cross-country journey to Cambridge. The Junction is a nice enough venue too, near the railway station. The band were great from start to...
Just got up from last night's night shift (12-15), dazed, knackered, feeling crap, tired and all the rest of it as I'm sure you night shift workers will know. Just as I turned the telly on the usual shite daytime TV was on which was "This Morning" and...

I would like to keep a record of my cd's. Preferable a program that reads the cd and stores the data in an inventory record. I don't want to store the cd's for playback, just compile the data. If anyone out there is happy with the program they are...
HiI recently discovered "Something Else" by Cannonball Adderley. I think it is brilliant!I'm a relative novice when it comes to this sort of jazz. Can you recommend some other jazz albums of this type?Also, my copy of Something Else is a brand new...
Peter (Northpole) posted Van Morrision's No Guru, No Method, No Teacher using (almost)this description. It set me thinking about how often I have been seduced by a cover only to find the album to be crap. Anyway can you think of great albums with...
I heard a Sonata from this on Radio 3 the other week and thought it was brilliant so, as they say, I bought the album. It's played by John Tilbury on the Explore label - a rerelease of a 1975 recording.The prepared piano is something I have not heard...

My 7 years old daughter made a request from me to play "so lonely" from the Police (my favourite band). It's been about a year I didn't play that song which I have in vinyl & CD. She didn't know the title but she just sing it for me then only I know. I ask her which one you'd like to hear (CD or LP)..."record" (LP) she said....and we had a nice evening listening session. Nothing much, just to share..just ignore if doesn't interest you..cheers everyone! BTW, her brother trying new skills with...
Dear Friends,Those who have followed my posts in this part will by now know that I am fonder of Haydn's Symphonies than those of his friend Mozart. The opposite situation exists, of course in the matter of concertos!But where do do you find...
