Record Review: non-BaL discs reviewed, etc.

[Nick Armstrong]

Why's this bit a ghostly shadow, Calibs?

I was seeking to follow Thropstar's lead in his #1.

Do you find it challenging for the peepers? I can change it if you like. It's just copied from the R3 website. (Too much Caliban Blue could be a pain, too )

I was just checking if it was an East Anglian contribution to printing design

Runnicles Bruckner 7 and Nelsons Shostakovich 7 sounded very good indeed, too.

As for that FWM/Gustav Mahler YO [I think it was] Bruckner 7, you wonder why they bothered releasing it.... The Runnicles sounded pretty good, but I don't think I'll be adding to my collection of 7s...

Incidentally I was previously unaware of Robert Haas's Nazi Party association, and the effect on his editions, referred to on "Musical deletions" at 1215.

Thanks to Caliban for adding today's programme listing. I've yet to hear the Seckerson section. Howevern I'm very happy with my copy of Gergiev first DSCH 7, but the Nelsons does seem to have been very well received. Won't harm his BPO chances, eh?

[Petrushka]

The Nelsons Shostakovich 7 increasingly tempting: adulatory review here http://www.amazon.co.uk/Shostakovich...1634572&sr=8-1 Not a bad price, and all on one disc... An ORFEO recording in... Nottingham! Unusual combination...

Presumably the Royal Concert Hall? If so it must have sounded over-poweringly loud. I went to a concert there some years ago and found it too much. I forget the programme but DSCH 7 would have crossed the pain threshold. Both the Nelsons and Gergiev discs are on my wish-list.

Sorry (as are others who have drawn it to my attention) to see that our friend Throppers, author of this thread and many another interesting one, is no longer a member, but a guest

Hope this is a temporary absence and that The Forum will soon be enlivened once again by Throppéries of all kinds

I do hope he comes back swiftly - maybe he's given up buying CDs for Lent and Mme Throppers is keeping him to his word, and regular attendance on this Board was making life difficult?

[Barbirollians]

Yes a shame Throps has disappeared .

[BBMmk2]

Oh what b
a shame! I did like Thropper's contributions! I do hope he has read these posts and reconsiders?

What a b***** shame, indeed, BBM.

But didn’t he say that he was going to be away for a time? Maybe in some tropical jungle under that interesting pith helmet in his avatar? (Which also seems to have disappeared from his posts along with his member status, alas.) I hope it’s nothing more serious.

Oh! I must have missed that... there was some talk of moving to England in one post I read... but I thought that was later this year...

Fingers crossed Monsieur T can't keep away from The Forum for long...

Hear hear.

He'll miss the food and drink if he moves to England....

[Petrushka]

Thropplenoggin had a brilliant knack of starting interesting threads and, as others have said, hope he comes back soon.

[Sir Velo]

I presume FF knows the reason for Thropplenoggin's departure. There was a bit of unpleasantness on a recent thread on serial music which may have hastened his leave taking. Not sure what the views on privacy are here, but maybe an email to the effect that the views expressed on that thread are by no means representative of the forum as a whole might induce him to reconsider.

[Nick Armstrong]

Yes that was done a few days ago.
