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

nope, the 861i.

Excellent. Full report required.

not gonna get it home before Sunday so looks like I'm gonna have to come clean. Reckon its gonna cost me a few weekends away in a nice hotel, spa or some sh*te like that.

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

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

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?
