The discipline will do you good!!

quite right... and meanwhile, gives me the opportunity to crack open some superb Dvorak, Hummel & Schumann chamber works, with which to immerse myself over the next couple of weeks...

just popped in to town today, and came across this set in MINT condition for only £2 in a charity shop!



cheapest I can find it anwhere else is £17... I know I'm on a sabbatical from new purchases, but I don't know whether any of you would pass up that opportunity!

anyone heard it? at present, I only have the Aimard & Kempff sets, so I'd be interested in your views... Sean??

£14.75 on MDT with the slightly odd bonus of the Triple Concerto in a later recording where the pianist is not Pollini: that's the version I got recently and am greatly enjoying! How could you go wrong with Pollini and Abbado in Beethoven? At £2 I assume you bought it without a second thought!

I wouldn't pass up that opportunity, buy it! Better still where is it for sale? I'll buy it.

I have really been enjoying my return to full health. Yesterday, I listened to music for several hours and today these gems arrived to add to my collection.



Franz Joseph Haydn
String Quartets opus 20, 33 and
the seven last words of our saviour on the cross opus 51
Quatuor Mosaïques

Good man, Fergus can be a bad influence at times. BUY, BUY, BUY, I say.
