Inspired by Festat's and Clayton's listening earlier in the week:
I was going to say this rocks.. I'll guess I should come up with better cliche.

I've taken Sir Georg to the supermarket and back. I hope he's enjoyed the walk.

Benissimo!

Yesterday's walking music:
This recording is quite wonderful. Samuel Ramey in all his full-throated glory.
Then, today's selection:
I've decided this recording also is quite wonderful and right up there with Solti and Fricsay.
YESS! I wish Krips recorded more. His Mozart was great.
Schreker: der Schatzgrabe
My first purchase from Challenge Classics. I'm extremely impressed by the exceptionally high quality of this product. The sonics are superb (it's a SACD hybrid) and the design is that of a hardcover book beautifully bound, but normal CD size. It includes a superb historical essay describing the life and the times Schreker was living in before the rise of Fascism which destroyed his career. And some of his personal notes are included. This opera received 354 performances in over fifty cities between 1920-1925.

Been out and about exploring the canal towpath in the company of Maestro Lamberto Gardelli. (This mild weather can't last for much longer)

There's nothing like a long walk on a nice day with a great opera playing. And, Nabucco is one of the great listens!
Oh that looks beautiful
I wonder which canal that is

It takes me 3 mins 40 seconds to walk from my door to the tow path.
