Just ordered from Amazon The Complete String Quartets of Dmitri Shostakovich, performed by the Emerson String Quartet. Do any of my colleagues on the forum own this already? If you do, what do you think of their performances?

I just learned that my favourite record shop in Sydney has closed its doors "not happy Jan"
Michael's Music Room was a small boutique shop that valued remember its regular customers by name and always offering enticing things to buy. Very sad.

Just ordered from Amazon a 4cd box set of the Complete Symphonies of Prokofiev Conducted by Rostropovich. Now I am just hoping and waiting that Naxos will soon come out with a complete Shostakovich symphony cycle conducted by Petrenko at an affordable price!

I've just purchased (iTunes store) Bach's St Matthew Passion ... sung in English with a "period instrument" ensemble and small choir. British production and really quite marvelous; first time I've actually understood what the evangelist was going on about, ensemble called "Ex Cathedra". Highly recommended.

Latest Sheet Music: Baerenreiter Urtext of Rachmaninoff Etudes -Tableaux
Latest recorded music: Divine Liturgy sung by Sretensky Monastery Choir. These 50 guys have a sound output that dazzles the mind - at once volcanic in intensity and power but with no evidence of "blasting". And they sing so musically.......The conductor is Boris Zhila and his father is a priest at that Monastery.

Uh... okay, I just got set up in a new apartment, getting into c.d.'s for the first time with professional equipment, but still liking the atmospherics and tone of cassettes, a personal listening system I greatly enhanced by using a Sony cassette manufacturing rack-mount as part of this residential system. I gave away my last 5th Symphony by Beethoven and went looking yesterday at the largest vendor of used cassettes, our local Salvation Army. I found three with the 5th, but just the introductions. It's the part that reminds me of a rainstorm that's my favorite. I bought a Mozart cassette that didn't sound that hot and a Vladimir Horowitz solo cassette, one of his last recordings, sounding mild. That all cost $2.
Having the manager support me as a mayoral candidate, her offer, by selling me Paul Young's hit single c.d. for half price, just a dollar, was more than nice, and a highly recommended set list of songs for any open-hearted listener. The bassist is beautiful.

Finally, I found a nice cassette of Beethoven's Fifth, unfortunately, backed by Strauss.
I keep giving mine away, and I got this one for $1 at The Salvation Army.
The girls there like me, and let me have c.d.'s for $1 instead of $1.99.
My ideal Beethoven would be the Fifth, the Eighth and Moonlight Sonata,
produced by Deutch Grammophone, with McCoy Tyner's interpretation on the B side,
recorded live in my little studio.
If there was any footage left I'd add some Beethoven string quartets,
unless Mr. Tyner let me jam along with him, recording that.
This is it. I'm going to look for the untitled Frederik Magle on Facebook and ask to be friends.
Sheesh! Modern technology!
