        Yes, I think I've 'cracked it'. I had my pathetic hi-fi far enough away so that I could hear the music but not what Clemency said. It worked quite well as I recognised most of it anyway.

        Good morning all

            Thanks for the recommendation, Mercs. I agree that Brahms was sublime. Perhaps we should have a thread of recommendations for the pearls that do occasionally crop up?

                But they are spread throughout all the threads. Can't speak for the rest but I don't have the time to read through all the threads. If there was a central thread that would be helpful surely?

                  Well anton my hero and your 'old scoundrel' the wonderful Artur Rubinstein, is right now playing Stravinsky on Rob's programme. Just wish I'd recorded it as AR never did apparently. Three movements from Petroushka in his own arrangement. Stunning playing IMHO.

                    Anton’s too modest to recommend his own thread.


                    [ed.] Just a thought. How about moving this thread over to this board?

                      Ah but they are just the titles. The benefit, for example, of mercia's recommendation is that it is to a particular performance

                          V happy to start such a thread... It is best separate from this 'debate' thread I think. What would it be called - "Occasional gems found in the morning 'playlist' programmes" or something like that?
                          "...the isle is full of noises,
                          Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
                          Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
                          Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

                            Therein lies the main problem (and the inane chat etc, especially Mon to Fri)with many of us.

                              well I suppose Clemmy could have played the whole of Arabella and the Requiem, but how many listeners might they have lost in the process ?

                              oh dear, I'm going to regret having asked that
