I haven't played it before now.

I like it.

I am enjoying Beecham's 1937 Magic Flute.

Jorge Bolet - PIANO ENCORES

What about Lonesome Dove?

I think this is the same thread. Someone saw fit to change the title I came up with. Hm...

Thanks, Scott! Much appreciated.

iTunes has Internet radio but I always forget it's there.

D

I'm trying to cut back. Who can listen to all that music? Not me.

However, it is difficult to stop purchasing music completely.

D

Lovecraft has quite the cult following. You might try Thomas Ligotti too.

D

I have Kindle for iPhone. Anyone use that? I haven't yet.

D

Lance, like you I've been collecting for more than fifty years and occasionally I vow to stop getting new recordings, but don't seem to be able to stop myself. I particularly am interested in new pianists and as I've said many times before, I really think we're in a new Golden Age of pianists. Such...

MPR = Minnesota Public Radio

The only game in town.

But don't you still have to go out in the cold of winter and the heat of summer? I must admit to not visiting a modern library in several years because of the availability of books on even a modest budget, almost anywhere I go - the supermarket, used book stores, even donations by my fellow residen...

D

That brings up a very interesting adjunct to this thread: what is the future of libraries in these days of Kindle and other E-readers. With thousands of titles at reasonable prices right at your fingertips....will we make those trips to the library in the cold of winter or the heat of summer? Will ...

If I'm reading a book and a second book is calling out to me, I will share my reading time with both, switching off between them. If there's a third book screaming my name, well then we will make it a threesome. David, I'm like you, I get an itch for a new book quite frequently, but it's because my...

I've read one of her mysteries. I enjoyed it, although I haven't picked up any more since. Too many books to read!

Oh Hey there D, nice to see a fellow Minnesoootan. We also have to hate Texas (Dallas in particular) for stealing our hockey team

I like me some Texans but they are a cocky bunch.

What century is this?

Brand was one pseudonym for Frederick Faust who also gave us Dr. Kildare!

Must other than classical showing up on the classical bestseller list.

I"ve been reading some Max Brand lately. Ever had the pleasure?

Thank you. 'Tis a fine name.

D

Cool beans. Have a good time.

D

Okay, how about WITH national bias.

Gramophone sends me one but it's always British artists. Not that there's anything wrong with that...

D

It can be either, though I mainly read fiction.

D

Plenty of good titles here. I will come up with more later. Meanwhile, here's one I co-wrote:

I like any fantasy with lots of quick-paced adventure. I'm a quick-paced adventure kinda guy.

THE BOOK OF THE NEW SUN by Gene Wolfe

D

It seems to me he has at least a few "co-writers". I figure he gives them an outline and they finish the book.

D

If I'm reading a book and a second book is calling out to me, I will share my reading time with both, switching off between them. If there's a third book screaming my name, well then we will make it a threesome.

D

Does anyone online maintain a classical CD bestseller list without non-classical music leakage or national bias?

Thanks.

BTW.....I didn't mean that smilie to be a smiley; I just typed ":" and then your name.

GMG no longer works for me at my weekday location, so guess who's coming to dinner?

D

I just read in the Lebrecht blog that regular iTunes tracks' sound quality are 1/10 that of a regular CD, so iTunes Plus tracks (EMI-only currently) would be at 1/5 sound quality. Also, recently I downloaded a couple EMI albums from iTunes and there were skips in many of the tracks. So... Maybe I'll...

Now, that makes sense.

What could be more sublime than the piano sonatas, especially the slow movements.

Yeah. Is this thread some sort of joke?

Not that I've heard much Clementi.
