Back in HK for a week - and browsing in Percival Records a great way to escape the rain. A proper record shop which Roger et al might recognise. Anyway, today's finds included a remastered (and SACD-ified) version of Jascha Horenstein's Unicorn recording of Mahler 1 with the LSO. No idea what it'll sound like - and no idea whether it'll be available in the UK - but worth a punt. Already regretting not buying the Tower Records Japan SACD of Sir JB's Schubert 9th but that will justify a further visit later in the week.

I was in London recently and popped into the HMV shop. To say I was bitterly disappointed would be an understatement. It was a very faint shadow of its former self and was little better than the ‘mini-me’ HMV shop we have in Edinburgh. I remember going to the London shop many years ago and being absolutely bowled over by the sheer size and breadth of stock.
Ah well.

I think that the only place in London that's still got a good stock of classical CDs is Foyles in Charing Cross Road. They also have a reasonably good selection of second hand CDs as well.

Some weeks ago, I mentioned (on the Now Spinning thread) that I was really enjoying Florian Noack's Lyapunov set and was sad that he'd not recorded any more. Today, I had a helpful email from Amazon saying he's recorded the Transcendental Etudes. Another one added to the wishlist!Best regards,
Jonathan
