Mozart: Divertimento in D major K.251 ('Nannerl Septet')
Beethoven: Septet in E flat major op. 20
Soloists of the Lucerne Festival Orchestra
New release on Qobuz. Live recording from the 2020 Lucerne Festival. Glorious chamber playing. A total delight, and perfect antidote in troubling times.

50 years today since I bought my first classical LP with my own money! And here it is...listening to it on CD from the Karajan Decca box sounding better than ever.
Strauss: Also Sprach Zarathustra
Wiener Philharmoniker (Solo violin: Willi Boskovsky)
Herbert von Karajan
I got it in the Ace of Diamonds incarnation (SDD175) with a picture of Nietzsche on the front that must qualify for a 'most boring cover' award!"The sound is the handwriting of the conductor" - Bernard Haitink

Do you have such incredible recall for things other than musical events?I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered. My life is my own.
I am not a number, I am a free man.

I'm not sure that my career was either fulfilling or lucrative (31 years today since I started my last job!) but I'm hoping that retirement doesn't impair the mass of useless trivia I've accumulated. I do occasionally have problems remembering what happened yesterday but can recall what the weather was on a particular day 50 or more years ago. At one time I could have told you what day of the week a certain date fell on between say, 1970 and the present, within a few minutes but that's now become increasingly difficult as more time has passed. The key to this one was the knowledge that my birthday (in June) and Christmas Day always fall on the same day of the week and it was a simple matter of working backwards and forwards, always remembering that leap years were also Olympics years. I used to do this as a party trick.
I'm sure most on here can remember that this coming Monday, Feb 15 is the 50th anniversary of Decimal Day, when the UK switched to decimal currency. Remember it well..."The sound is the handwriting of the conductor" - Bernard Haitink
