A little more pricey, but going for £5.35 at Amazon marketplace at the moment, Bryn, from a UK dealer too.

Oh, I got my copy a while back. I just found it difficult to believe that anyone wold want to pass their copy on to a charity shop, which it turns out they didn't.  I was sort of thinking of getting it to pass on to a deserving listener, though. |

I listened to it again this afternoon and think this surpasses any other Handel recording I own! Very light-footed and exuberant.  |

Oh no. Ollie. You didn't, did you?  Ah. You did. (Lefèvre Eb clarinet, early 19th century. Plays like a dream.) |

Surreal, illogical (sometimes a little bit scary) and when it's all over you can only remember vague details? |

Most of my favourite performances have been like that. |

In other news: anyone else here enjoy the musical equivalent of casting against type? (Or even sometimes the literal version of course - Fischer-Dieskau as Scarpia for example). I'm listening to another new purchase: the Moscow Phil under Kondrashin playing Debussy's Iberia. Ravel's La Valse to follow.  |

Well it's been very nicely restored in fact although the pads are a little sticky - I'll have to powder them. The mouthpiece is original and just a little bit gunky on the inside but I'd rather leave a but of gunk on than risk taking wood off it. Although I was playing it today and the register key was gurgling - it has a sleeve but for some reason the sleeve doesn't reach into the bore so water gets into it. I made the mistake of sucking it out instead of blowing it in. Eeuw. Not tasty. |

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

HA!
I had to visit the DOKTOR this afternoon, and on my way back chanced upon a s/h shop on Friedrichstrasse I hadn't paid much attention to, in which I found:
Bach Mass in B minor / Harnoncourt (haven't heard it since LP days)
Feldman Piano, Violin, Viola, Cello (the only one of the late works I've never heard)
Carter Symphony of Three Orchestras & some Varèse (just been reading about the Carter and thought it was worth reacquainting myself with)
Ravel Daphnis, Alborada, Boléro / Abbado (revisiting D&C after many years since everyone here thinks it's so cooool)
very cheap!
