A few Forum Members are saying that, including myself, are experiencing rather a long time in threads to load up generally. Would members mind if I start up another one, as I have been asked.

Beethoven: String Quartet Op. 18/1 (Belcea Quartet - Wiener Konzerthaus 2012 Blu-ray). I somehow mislaid this boxed set shortly after buying it upon its release. Yesterday it turned up. It had fallen between a cabinet and a corner wall. At last I can listen to the the whole lot (with two performances of Op. 130, with each of the two final movements - so much better than just having the alternatives available to play following a single performance of the first five movements.

No II now closed and duly stuck for reference. Long live No III (though I'm having no trouble with slowness anywhere this morning.It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.Comment

I started the 1989 Tennstedt Mahler 2 but when it came to inserting disc two I found it was Jurowski's Brahms 2!
Pleased to have found the long missing Brahms but still can't locate the Mahler!
Blinding shame as was really getting into the resurrection...
Might get out CBSO/ Rattle tomorrow.Last edited by Alison; 16-04-17, 21:03.Comment
