    Been watching and listening to Mahler 7 with Bernard Haitink and the BPO on the BPO Digital Concert Hall. Terrific performance and stunning sound quality.

          No bad, Threni. That a very good recording too! Strongly reccomended!! When you wake up at 4.30am every work day, I still wake up at the weekend fairly early, so I just go to my 'den', amd chill with some rather good music! Headphones on, ofcourse!!)

            Thanks for the Jason Gillham link, Pianoanorak. As you say, a fine Chopin player.

            However I found it impossible to watch the video because of the juddering nature of the picture.

            Did you get the same effect, Pianoanorak? It's very irritating!

                I’ve just been listening to an interesting blog download from a French Pathe 1952 LP of l’Histoire du Soldat. Instrumental group conducted by Fernand Oubrados, narrator Jean Marchat. Are you familiar with this one? I need to give it proper attention yet, but it certainly helps to improve one’s French.
                No don't know that one will have to research it. Being a cd generation I usually leave other recordings alone, with having nothing to play them on!

                  January 17 2009, Alison. There is another BPO/Haitink concert in the archive on January 23 2010. Programme is:

                  Kurtag: Stele, Brahms VC (Frank Peter Zimmermann) and Bartok Concerto for Orchestra.

                  By the way, there is a live BPO/Haitink coming up on the Digital Concert Hall on March 12 featuring Bruckner 5. One to savour, I think.

                  After my big disappointment last night when the website clearly couldn't cope with demand and packed in I approach the March date with trepidation.

                              Well, I am going to lower the tone again!

                              Judy Garland. Her greatest movie hits. And to be honest, really enjoying it no matter that many think it's not highbrow, to me, it's lovely to listen to whilst preparing a meal and waltzing around and "Oh, Gee, Mr. Gable, I guess you have had loads of girls. Tell me about Joan Crawford. But you smiled at me Mr. Gable!
