    This guy had enough money to buy one after he licensed his life story to Disney. He finds it quite comfortable, but the crowds outside his door keep interrupting his listening

    It's really awesome. I also love the copies I have with Rostropovich/ Sir Adrian Boult, Leonard Rose/Eugene Ormandy and Jacqueline Du Pre/ Daniel Barenboim. Couldn't pick which is my fave....

    I started with record 1 of this 3LP set: Sonata No.3 and 32 Variations. Magnificent playing. I originally bought this as a hi-res download, but I was curious to hear a recent DG LP. No question that the LP sounds better: more presence, body, and air.

    Yes! :pineapple: And I've been happily searching the Apple Music catalog for the past few hours for all the things I've never gotten around to ripping from my collection, but now can enjoy at much greater convenience....

    So there isn't a perverse incentive to wait for the box to come out and buy it in one fell swoop. It's unfortunate though, as I'd prefer a box for space purposes.

    Listened to partial of the following CD before the lithium ion battery ran out even after a full charge (battery is shot), over my somewhat short late afternoon walk ...

    Not at all, Channel Classics wants you to pay extra.

    The following used Channel Classics Complete Bach Cantatas box is now almost $900 ...

    A fine performance of the 6th, if not as intense as the recent Gergiev/Mariinsky performance I attended, and very well recorded.

    Now on the turntable, "Handel - Messiah" performed by the Academy Of Ancient Music led by Christopher Hogwood on L'Oiseau-Lyre.

    Featuring:
    (the lovely and talented) Emma Kirkby
    Carolyn Watkinson
    Judith Nelson
    Paul Elliott
    David Thomas

    For me, listening to music doesn't get any better than this. For anyone who like Messiah and has a turntable, please seek out a minty vinyl copy of this. :targettiphat:

    Even though I've owned this box set since it's release 4 or 5 years ago, this was my first time listening to this recording. I wish I had heard it sooner, excellent performance of Brahms 1st Cello Sonata, which has become one of my favorite chamber pieces. Compares very well to other recordings I've heard of Brahms 1st (Rostropovich/Serkin, Piatigorsky/Rubinstein)

    Both Starker and Rosty were outstanding cellist. Sebok was an excellent though somewhat underrated pianist ...
