I take no pride in telling you all that I have shed the thick end of 2000 discs; most are available to buy but I have also given a large wedge of them to Oxfam (god knows what they'll make of Schnittke and Bax).
Hi Darren,
It must have taken ages to catalogue all 2000 discs .. by the way which Oxfam did you use .. If it's near me I might take a look.

I am curious about those Bernstein performances of the "Paris Symphonies" Don....how were they? I have not heard Bernstein in this repertoire.

Honestly, I've hardly had any time to listen to it, but the miniscule amount I've heard has been top. I have a LOT of Purcell now (Complete Odes and Welcome Songs, Complete Anthems and Services, now this box) so I think I need to take a couple of weeks off work and get stuck in!!

Goodness, what an absolutely splendid idea!! Or, you could go and sit in the Chapel at the Royal Naval College in Greenwich, where they play nothing but Purcell daily, from morning to dusk (sadly only a CD on repeat, but you do get a wonderful visual context).
Timon of Athens
Diocletian (Acts I&II)
