Have you ever bumped into LeMartinPecheur (see #928) during your prowls round Cornish charity shops?

Not knowingly, but he’s up east and I’m down west, though we have PMd in the past!

Any Highland Dancers here...?

....My local, worthy charity shop has a splendidly decorated accordion for sale (£300). It has been donated by its owner (not me!) who is getting too old to bear the weight, and I'm told it's in perfect order. If anyone is interested, PM me and I'll get further details.

Penzance and Truro this week - C18th Symphonies to the fore - new to me Boccherini Op12 1-6 NPO Leppard (Phillips Duo) and Gossec Op4 1-6 DKN Gaudenz (CPO). Welcome additions to the Cloughie Shelves!

Not a charity shop in fact but cheapo Melbourne fleamarket: four DG opera sets - Abbado's Simon Boccanegra, Macbeth and Falstaff, plus Mehta's Fanciulla de West, for Aus$5 apiece. So about UKP11 in total, I was pretty happy!

Does Ebay count? A 1996 Hyperion recording of York Bowen piano music played by Stephen Hough. £3.99 including postage. Quite simply very good indeed. The mystery of what happened to the York Bowen Society of which Hough is or was patron remains unsolved. There’s a 1997 review of the CD by Deryk Barber on the Classical Net website. I would paste a link but I’m not sure how secure the CN site is.

There’s an identical CD on Ebay at £3 with a day to go, and looking at the seller’s other items, there are several CD’s that might interest Esteemed Fellow Forumites. All at £3. Are you allowed to make recommendations like that here? Don’t know

Great haul there, Edgey!

... indeed so. I hope you enjoy the Brahms piano four hands : a wonderful series - I think there are eighteen vols altogether...

Camborne today - 50p or 3 for £1 - works out at 12.5p per disc - a double CD of John Williams, a 3CD ‘Old Fashioned Lovesongs 50s/early 60s compilation, and the 3CDset - Sleeping Beauty - ROHO Ermler - maybe not the Critic’s choice but worth a go at 37.5p.

A reminder to listen again to Brahms op34(b) again, Edgy. Top top piece
