I just bought a great CD of Debussy's and Ravel's String Quartets, performed by the Cleveland String Quartet on... drumroll please...

A set of Strad instruments that were originally owned by Paganini!

Needless to say, the tone is terrific...

Added the Keilberth/Bayreuth 1955 Siegfried to my shelf recently.

Just one more to go... and I'll have another complete Ring cycle!

I call Ludwig the "hardy perennial" of vocal artists. Plant her anywhere, she blooms! I've considered buying her memoirs, too... haven't just yet...

What I have bought, though... Swan Lake complete: Philadelphia/Sawallisch (another case of "couldn't-resist-the-price"). and...
Tristan und Isolde study score. Now... I need at least one more T&I recording to supplement the Karajan version. I looked at Furtwängler... but balked at the mono sound. I looked at Böhm, but balked at the timings. Maybe I should try the Pappano-

I'm not familiar with the Alto-Rhapsodie, and I'm looking forward to listen to Ms.Perennial.

I wish I could recommend something, but being the last person to appreciate opera, I'll just hope that you get that "perfect" recording.

Rachmaninoff performing his own music; it's the new one that purists hate and won't bother listening to, I think I'll make my own conclusions though.

A Window in Time is the title.

On my way home from work I got:



Mahler Symphony No. 1 as performed by the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra lead by Yoel Levi.

And:



Violin Concertos (Brahms and Stravinsky) as performed by Hilary Hahn backed by the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields, conducted by Sir Neville Marriner.

I'm listening to Mahler now
