We have a "don't ask, don't tell" policy which works well.

Same as. I have to be very careful when bringing home any new vinyl and then I wait for my chance to sneak it in with the rest on the shelf. I've also got until Sunday to see if I can sneak in a Wadia before she arrives back on Sunday night.

302?

How come that stuff doesn't count as wasting money, while audio gear, which we might enjoy for years, does?

???????????????????

This morning my lovely daughter was surprised by the postman who delivered a large parcel that contained the following CDs, they came all the way from Germany/jpc:

That lot should put a serious hole in your Basket....Enjoy!!!

Wow! I can't have a bundle like that arrive at the house! Strictly work address only! Not that I have bundles that big very often! About time I had a look at my wishlist on MDT.

I won't get away with doing that very often I can assure you. Given my circumstances I hadn't bought many CDs this year so when I got settled I went a wee bit mad.

BTW, on the Beethoven Piano Sonata front, what about Pollini? He hasn't recorded them all, but he has recorded a lot. And they're good.. very good. I'm currently enjoying the Gulda set on Orfeo from 50s radio recordings. I'm interested in hearing Claudio Arrau's Beethoven.

I wanted to get a second or possiblty third set and had identified the Brendel and the Kempff sets. I saw that the Schnabel cycle was available for €7.99 so I got that, it was too good an opportunity to miss. I will digest what I have bought. I must keep an eye out for the Pollini CDs.

Enjoy Lava: Simone Kermes has a new disc of obscure arias out: I must get it as a matter of urgency! And what I good idea to give Lava as Xmas presents!

There was a guy in Tower on Sunday and he asked me about the Jenkins one and when I pointed him in the right direction he came back over to me and asked me for a recommendation other than the afore mentioned superstar and so he walked out with a copy of Lava in his hand.
I have a couple of copies as stocking fillers. Take a bow Ciaran.

I looked for a copy of this in Tower a few times but never came across it. Where there any copies left Seán?
