Hope it goes well Stan ..
Re.Otello, courtesy of a mate I'm just reappraising the early Karajan/ del Monaco. Despite sound not quite up to modern standards and a weak Iago, it has many thrilling moments, and Karajan and the VPO are on fire !! Tebaldi and del Monaco are superb in their prime.

I hope that you will still feel up to posting - I always look forward to seeing in the morning what you have been listening to on, I assume, the previous day.

I'm a bit puzzled! A friend of mine whose opinions on music I value very much declared that he had been listening to recordings of the Hagen Quartet playing Beethoven and that he found the first violin made 'squeaks'! M listening to them play op. 127 and it sounds pretty fantastic to me.
Does anyone else have an opinion?
