I have Twilight of the Gods and was looking to get the rest on the cheap - does this make me a better man then Rumpole?

Immeasurably.

I have a 1-disc 'highlights' issue http://www.amazon.co.uk/Goodall-Ring...pr_product_top

You are without doubt a better man than I, and it seems I am damned to languish in Beefy hell.

Anyway I prefer it in German, and have the Solti box - it's good enough for me!

I have that box too. Sadly, my box also contains the CDs.

Good to see people fessing up.

a Beef Oven's " Hang your head in shame " thread is surely needed.

( I did have that set but I left it on the bus/ lent it And didnt get it back/ left it in the sun and it warped/ or something).

It's the only thing I like Solti in ...! I'm fine with the CDs! (Found the nice slimline dark blue box very cheap in a little shop in Berlin. Came back with half a dozen - everyone got a ring in their pudding that Christmas! )

I bought it in the very early 1980s on vinyl before classical was my preference in music. I loved it (although it almost bankrupted me!). I replaced it on CD around 1998.

Over the years, having heard many different performances of the ring, I found the Solti a bit over the top. When I came to the Goodall recordings, I was blown away. For me no one else comes close in this work.

Worth a mention is Gunther Neuhold and the Badische Staatskapelle. I picked this set up new in a shop on the south bank for about £9 a few years back. it has a wonderful 'chamber' feel and surprisingly good singing.

Back to the Solti, of course it's a great set of performances and I wouldn't be without it. I just struggle with all the fireworks (but it is spectacular!). I will be playing a scene or two from it later!

The Apple Music interface and information seems to change daily. Yesterday I reported on a collection of British music, including works by Britten and Rubbra - and there was an Op 55 piano concerto, which I decided eventually was Rubbra's. Today in "New" (AM) the Op 55 concerto does not exist in that collection. However, if the ... (3 dots) method is used to navigate to the album in the iTunes store, that concerto is definitely in the collection.

Sounds more than a little scary Dave does this mean I have to check every day for Reggie? Also did we ever find if the downloads come with the seeds of their own destruction?

I realised very recently why I was looking at that Britten, Berkeley, Rubbra compilation. The Rape of Lucretia which is part of the set was conducted by Goodall, so that's why AM kept taking me there, as I was searching for as many of Goodall's performances as I could find.

Classic use of Apple Music today - having heard an impressive clip from the new(ish) LPO / Skrowaczewski Bruckner 3 on a recorded section from a recent CD Review, I was able instantly to listen to the full thing

Except I shall buy a higher quality download from The Classical Shop, not from Apple.

Cracking performance, esp. the last two movements (based on one listen). Wish I'd been there.

(Going to hear the same combo in No 5 later in the year, hope SS is still on top form at 92 (by the time of the concert) )

Spotify now has a new personalised "Discover Weekly" playlist feature, which I don't think Apple Music has. Seems quite good.

Unless I've missed something we haven't trotted the Apple Music nag round the track for a while ..... ????

Am I the only gullible swine who has continued with their subscription when the Rumpole "3 free" expired?

Are we any clearer as to the rules of its game e.g. can you keep your downloads forever as long as your Direct Debit doesn't bounce?
