Remember the egregious Igor's mal mot "if Richard, then Wagner - if Strauss, then Johann"? (to which my immediate retort was "if Igor, then Prince")? I didn't know you ever met Stravinsky, Alistair! |

The city is a process which always veers away from the form envisaged and desired, ... whose revenge upon its architects and planners undoes every dream of mastery. It is [also] one of the sites where Dasein is assigned the impossible task of putting right what can never be put right. - Rob Lapsley

Ah, the things that you don't know, tinners! Never mind - just don't Agonise over them, for I hail from Dunfermline, not Dumbarton (neither of which is located in Rossignol & Cromarty) and Strawhisky (as he once sought to briefly to dub himself) is not made in either place, as no doubt you already know. I did not meet him, of course; my quoted retort occurred (as I'm sure you've actually managed in any case to deduce) when first I heard that (in)famous remark of his although, that said, I would quite have liked to have met him if only to be able to utter it to his face had such an opportunity to do so ever presented itself... |

This hideously ponderous recording is to be avoided at all costs:  By the time Vengerov has finished (slowly) molesting the first movement cadenza, one has forgotten what the hell one was listening to ... FK |

Continuing on my Four Seasons theme, here's another recording which sadly doesn't have the excuse that it's played on traditional Japanese instruments:  |

Poor Viv. How many centuries does it take to get over being used as "Elevator Music"?

Don't get me wrong, Kitty, I'm very fond of Vivaldi's music, just not the way it gets mangled by Eraserhead there. |

irracesable I'm sure we'd all agree if we had any idea what this word means! Shame about those Vivaldi operas, eh? |

Would that be the one with Tennstedt or his more recent one?  |

By the way, for "irrecesable", Google suggest "irrevesable" might have been intended, but that doesn't help much, does it?

Irreversible? Irreplaceable? Irresolvable? Irreconcilable? Inaccessible?
