...he said, with his customary reserve.

Seriously, I've been collecting 78s for decades--I started with 78s before I ever owned an LP--and it's a very rewarding hobby.

 

I think the 78 emoticons communicated that.

 

Ha ha Ho ho he he

 

A stroll down the memory lane with these Nonesuch records ...

 

My Thorens also has 3-speeds but I will stick with the reconstructed/remastered records on Naxos Historical ...

 

Now playing CD6 - Mozart Piano Concertos Nos 20 & 25 with Alicia de Larrocha from the following box for a first listen ...

 

Just made a bad mistake.

Having some unexpected time at home, I took down our (artificial) Christmas tree today. Played an entire morning's recital of Milhaud while I was at it: the two piano concerti, the concerto for two pianos, Carnival d'Aix, Scaramouche, the Etudes for Piano and Orchestra, Le Boeuf sur le Toit (affectionately known to me as The Boof on the Roof)...

Now my right eye sees green and red, my left blue and pink (and the images aren't quite in synch), and my feet keep breaking out unpredictably into sambas.

But, wait! I know the perfect antidote!

 

Now playing CD46 - Cantatas Nos 150-153 from the following box for a first listen ...

 

Jordi Savall is appearing at Juilliard tonight, but I can't attend. So I'm listening to Marais at home to make up for it.

 

Now playing:
Joseph Haydn – Divertimenti – Baryton Trios Nos.50, 52, 57, 59, 67, 107
— John Hsu, baryton, David Miller, viola, Loretta O'Sullivan, 'cello — The Haydn Baryton Trio (Dorian Recordings)

 

Now on the platter playing the following record from my Rachmaninov collection ...

 

The playing of Julius Katchen is pretty impressive. I am surprised at how clean the sound on this London LP is ...

 

Now playing the following LP from my Purcell collection by the Orchestra Da Camera Di Roma with Nicolas Flagello ...

Now playing the following LP from my French baroque collection ...

 

Now playing the following record from my LP collection ...

 

Love Purcell.

 

I always tend to like Bohm over Karajan. The interpretation sounds more authentic and less rushed.

 

The LP was produced in the 60's as its catalog number is 138 866 ...

 

Like to hear Abbado's take on the Tenth,but that might mean buying a CD player.

The 1980 Simon Rattle on the UK vinyl has been my only exposure to the work.

 

Thanks.

 

Now playing LP1 from the following LP box from my JS Bach collection ...
