A very interesting listen in any case.I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered. My life is my own.

I just now finished listening to the above Debussy/Boulez disk, which I really enjoyed. I'd forgotten how beautiful the third and final movement of Images - 'Rondes de printemps' is and I'm not sure I'd ever heard Printemps before, a lovely thing indeed.

Beethoven String Quartet Op. 130, with original final movement (Quartetto di Cremona)
Despite some fine playing, this 8-SACD is a right pain to access. They decided to record the revised version of Op 130 in November 2015. It's on disc 6 (tracks 5 to 10). However, they recorded the Grosse Fuge some 17 months earlier. That is track 5 of disc 3! One, therefore, has to halt disc 6 at the end of track 9, eject it and insert disc 3, then skip to track 5 and stop it before track 6. No wonder the SACD set was deleted from the catalogue after only a very few years. Downloads in various levels of quality in both stereo and 5.0 surround are, thankfully, available from Audite, though having purchased the SACDs I am not about to stump up for such. For those happy to make do with the poorly compiled SACD set, a couple of new copies can still be found on amazon.co.uk.
