The Postie is bringing on Monday, or perhaps tomorrow! - the Takács Quartet recording of the late Beethoven Quartets; an order influenced by last week's LvB COTW programmes. I haven't givn them a proper listen in a long time, so looking forward to that. Also, unaccountably, I have no Dvorak Slavonic Dances, so the Czech Phil is in the same box.

The Maltempo Scriabin sonatas is winging its way to me via Presto Classical. As from my avatar, you can tell I am rather fond of Scriabin, especially the late sonatas... I lost the Szidon recordings, they were stolen but eventually bought a second-hand copy - before that I'd bought as a temporary replacement Marc-Andre Hamelin's recording, though that didn't do it for me.

The industry is obsessed with B format PB editions. Funnily enough, we were warned off producing “ over - large extent’ PBs by a major chain, and guess what is all over their tables in the stores with little antarctic birds all over the spine ?

Just taken delivery a couple of hours ago of the VPO/Haitink Beethoven PC4/Bruckner 7 DVD from last August in Salzburg and playing it now. Poor documentation as is usual with DVDs (why?) but very fine performances as expected."The sound is the handwriting of the conductor" - Bernard Haitink
