Wednesday Wistfulness
It started sunny and warm with a mild 15C but it somewhat turned cloudy. It may just be a phase but it was warm enough to have a T-shirt on.
The package from my bro arrived. Another paperback book that I already have, an 80GB external hard disk drive unit, and some CDs - all classical. The CDR and Classic FM discs I will give to Mary at number 27 after I moved them to the hard drive, and would look for other interpretations of these cello and violin concertos. I tend to prefer his symphonies on the whole. The other two of Chopin's music on Hyperion I will keep.
I did find the Yoo Tube post from David Hurwitz on classical music labels quite fascinating and informative, and I recommend you guys check it out.
One of the recommendations Hurwitz suggested for the complete symphonies of Brahms of which he only composed four - being more of a miniaturist and chamber music composer - is this box set for under twenty quid from Amazon - Five CDs!
And yes, it is on my ever-expanding wants list.
I do have a wonderful 4CD Szymanowski piano music set arriving as well as a 4CD set of Pierre Boulez's own music arriving as well, both under the tenner mark.
Time to listen to some Chopin.
