      Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
      Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
      Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

            3 Vibrato-laden, unpleasant sounding vocal performances

            Thank God I've never heard this vocal Bolero!

                It did conjure up an alarming image.

                    ...Well Ravel's "Piece en form de Habanera" was originally Vocal- perhaps that's what Caliban heard?

                      No no no it's all a red herring - caused by my inability to reproduce the numbering of Don Petter's original post to which I was responding.

                        An even redder herring, in fact. It wasn't my post you responded to, but Barber Olly's!

                          I gave "Vallée d'Obermann" a chance on Breakfast this morning. What a load of repetitive claptrap ... IMHO of course...

                            ...Well we've just had Bolero Played by Berlin Phil & Karijan- V.good Playing,if rather matter-of-fact.Somehow it conjured up for me Hitler's march into Paris...

                              Caliban - you do have a way with words!

                              I must admit though I have never understood the popularity of V d'O.
