Ah the great Jaqueline du Pre, an absolutely sensual Cellist, I have all her recordings on a CD set

Tonight I will be watching Herbert von Karajan conduct the Berlin Philharmonic playing Tchaikovsky's Symphonies 4, 5 and 6. (Deutsche Grammophon).
What a privilege!

Well that will be a re-hash of a very old video.

I've got a DVD with Mahler's 8th and 9th symphonies plus Das Lied von der Erde. A Deutsche Gramophon release, it features the Wiener Philharmoniker under the baton of Leonard Bernstein. Already watched Das Lied but still have to tackle the symphonies. I've been meaning to listen to them for almost a month now, but more important stuff just keeps coming up. Hopefully, I will have go at them next week.

ANYBODY FOR DVDs...I am finding that a well recorded DVD gives me a more enjoyable musical experience than CDs played through my Arcam/Spendor setup.
I'm a relatively late arrival to the world of DVDs as a performance-playback medium- but I touch base with the world of opera more and more, these days- so I suppose that stepping into the DVD world was pretty inevitable.
I still like Altec-Lansing speakers and Koss headphones...
I've always liked Koss headphones- and preferred them to Sennheiser. I travel with my music a lot- and my Koss headphones hold up to the journeys, unlike Sennheiser, which (for all their technical specs) seem to get shorts in the wires if you breathe on them wrong...
