      I try to pretend it's not Monday every week but never succeed.

      After the amazing Derby weekend I'm afraid yesterday was hopeless at the races. Didn't win a thing. Such is life...

        Having just been blown away by Weinberg (so good they named him twice) 8,I don't even know what day it is.
        Anyway,it's music to make you think Mondays aint so bad.

          such is life, such is racing.
          Bad luck Pet...it will turn for you.
          Perhaps this week the prices of box sets will drop !

            I'll certainly give Wainberg 8 a spin then. the recommendation for the Bliss PS was great. A very interesting piece,listened with the youtube score running. Brilliant. Probably went faster than Pet's horses this weekend !

                I'm not sure I have got my head round the bliss PS, but it was a wonderful way to spend half an hour or so,and it will get another spin(in a crowded schedule) very soon.
                There is something very special about Bliss's music IMO. Been listening to Miracle in the Gorbals this week, its wonderful music . I would love to see some performances of his ballet music.
                Adam Zero is a D I piece for me.

                Learned about this music from you lot on the board.

                  Too bad if they do. I ordered anyway. My own conspiracy theory is that Amazon would know very well that it was my birthday from the Gift Certificates and that I'd be looking to order off my Wish List. All the prices seemed to go up on that day. If this happens to everybody it would explain the extraordinary fluctuations we now often notice.

                  Am I being paranoid?

                      I wonder if he is the most underrated of the underrated.
                      I also couldn't be without the Colour Symphony,Morning Heroes,Piano Concerto,Cello Concerto,String Quartets,Clarinet Quintet,err all of it really.

                        Oh well, another week dawns.
                        The ways of amazon really are mysterious.

                        anyway, nice dry weather should keep the going from fluctuating too much, always good for the punter i tend to think.

                          Quite. Wonderful stuff.I wonder when Colour symphony last got a run out by a professional British orchestra?
