Listenin' to Classical Music and Conversation

Wonderful cover.

 

Are you going to post this picture every time you listen to a disc from the box?

 

CD 1. Symphony #1 and Symphonic Dances.

 

I speak Philadelphian and Texan.

Yo, youse guys like dis record?
Hey, y'all like this here record?

 

Some early morning listening: from the Wagner at the Met box- Tannhauser. Szell conducting-Vinay, Varney, Harshaw, Hines. Live, 01/09/54.

 

Welcome to socialized medicine( ha).

 

The late, great Rozhdestvensky did a magnificent job with Sibelius symphonies, etc, in my opinion.

 

My daughter speaks English, Italian and Spanish.
She picked up a Gabriel Garcia Marquez novel one day while we were
thrift shopping. The snotty cashier said 'This book is in Spanish.'
She looked her dead in the eye and said "And?"
(... the apple doesn't fall far from the tree).

 

I’ve been streaming this the past few days. Likely will buy the vinyl version.

Motets and Chansons by Nicolas Gombert

 

Pascal Dusapin trombone, flute, and cello concertos

 

From one of the two Vivarte's big boxes?

 

Non western languages can make your head spin. I have heard people asking poorly informed questions like how do you write Mandarin or Cantonese!
There are a few hundred dialects in China, as is the case with India. But there is only one written Chinese language, the simplified (created and used in PRC) and the traditional version. I am not familiar with the written Indian (language) ...

 

Nope. I don't do big boxes. I bought this when it was a new release the early '90's.

 

Now listening to disc 6 of the box below, with Andrea Lucchesini's interpretations of Beethoven's Piano Sonatas 13-14, Op.27/1-2; 29, Op.106



A wonderful but unfortunately OOP and hard-to-find set. Highly recommended!

 

Got to say these are fun,

 

I pick and choose among the big boxes and only selectively buy the most attractive ones. While I do have a decent number of singles by Arrau but it would have cost me too much to assemble the singles from this great pianist and many of them are OOP for sure ...

 

There are 22 officially recognised languages in India, and around 720 accents. In writing, they use 12 different scripts.

 

This is, IMO, a remarkable disc from the standpoint of recorded sound. Performances are also absolutely top notch.

 

Great info! 12 different scripts! . I suppose people in Xinjiang, Inner Mongolia and Tibet also have their own written languages but all the Han Chinese have the same written language. BTW, most ethnic Chinese outside of the PRC do not care for the simplified Chinese ...

 

Let me add Boston:

You guys hear this recahd?

By the way you see that pass Tahm Brady threw Jash Gordan, I'm gonna name my name my kid Tahm. I did hear something along that last night (some Boston people coming up to NH lakes)

 

Interesting recording by another Barockorchester. I have a few recordings by the Freiburger Barockorchester but end up liking them less and less as their tempos are just way too fast on many familiar pieces like the Brandenburg Concertos ...
