You did well with the Feldman, Richard. That Hat is rather hard to find.

Bought on Sunday (from the cd-shop in the Barbican Centre, having heard it in the morning on R3) and already ripped onto my mp3-player, excellent stuff:  [Dvorak can have a rest] Oh, and over the weekend I also bought a .jpg) got it tuned to C-g-d-a' and looks to be jolly useful for medieval music... need to get a luthier to reshape the bridge a little, it's a mite flat right now for me  Umm, someone ought to mention to King David that he's bowing it below the bridge? |

You got a three-string instrument tuned to CGDA? Respect.

Actually mine's got six strings - 4 running along the fingerboard to the nut, and 2 bourdons which splay away from the other four.  I need to get a bow for it now, Northern Renaissance Instruments are on the case, should be able to find a rebec bow to use  |

Wow, incre, I wish my copy of that Brahms disc had flowers on the front of it. You've obviously dug up something very old (no pun intended) - wonder how much it set you back though - the budget-price reissue which has been current for a good 4 or 5 years looks like this: http://www.hmv.co.uk/hmvweb/displayProductDetails.do?ctx=12;3;19;-1&sku=50306[Edit. This took me forever to find on the web - Amazon seems to have your version, which I find odd since the 'Essential Classics' imprint is Sony Classical's own reissue imprint so you would have thought they'd deleted the original versions. MDT site has the budget one but they don't have the packshot online.] |

Hmm; seems I could have gotten a better deal. It was £10.29 in any event. Not the most expensive thing in the world; certainly not given its recommendation. Flowers are nice though. |

I ordered several translations of his books along with this, but this happened to ship first; I am rather a fan of Blake, and rather a fan of Borges, and so when somebody told me to go off and "read some mysticism" I rather jumped at the suggestion. Oh wait, I google "'frank carson' swedenborg", get one result, and on this basis (bearing in mind I do not know how this F.C. is) I conjecture this might be a joke what you said? |
