What Are You Listening To Now? - II

did anybody ever identify what it is that makes it so slow to load on certain machines.

Neither my laptop or my ipad are particularly quick, but both load this thread as quickly as any other.

In fact, thinking about it, it loads fine on my phone too.

Currently/soon:
Brahms Double Concerto/ Symphony #2.

LSO/ Haitink.

I need to experiment: perhaps it depends if you're logged in or not?

I think that was changing your settings to show the last posting first: but that only works if you're logged in.
So maybe you two both log in before accessing any threads?
Whereas I tend to log in only when I've got something to say!

Oh. I just tried loading this thread from an unlogged in status, and if anything it loaded even faster than before..... so that was a big help !!

EXCEPT
1) that that doesn't explain why the problem only appears with respect to this one Thread.
2) I am logged in, and I am experiencing the "long time a-loadin'"
3) I have the "latest posts first" setting, and it's still taking its time (I hate to think how long it would take to load if I had it on the other setting).

... but, apart from all that ...

The football thread is very slow to load here too

Anyroadup - Today:

Bach: St Matthew Passion; Soloists/KCCC/Brandenburg Consort/Cleobury
A really good "big choir" performance - for a few years, the only recording of the work I had. It still gives intense pleasure (although Michael Chance gets a little "shrieky" at moments) - and the work is absolutely glorious, of course.

Wagner: Parsifal, Act Two; Soloists/BPO/Karajan.
Just superb!

Lassus: Lamentations for Maundy Thursday; Pro Cantione Antiqua/Turner
Krenek: Lamentations for Maundy Thursday; RIAS Kammerchor/Creed
Two completely different settings of the same texts, both containing wonderful Music, both incredibly impressively sung. The Krenek is a particular favourite - in many ways, my favourite large-scale work for unaccompanied choir; and the performance here is astonishing. (Now, if only these forces could be allowed/persuaded to record Threni! Certainly Krenek scores over Stravinsky as far as successful performance & recording is concerned.)

Same here - start a new one, Rob.

The Round Ball Game II

[Pulcinella]

So did I just now, and it loaded very quickly indeed.
A mystery!

[BBMmk2]

Yes - it's very odd that it's only taken 18 months for it to get to the "long time a-loading" point, but it does seem to be causing delay for a number of Forumistas, Bbm. As the original "onlie begetter" of series 1 of WAYLTN?, how do you fancy initiating "Volume 3"?

I would like to very much but if Lat-Literal wouldn't mind?

Now playing:-
