Rudolf Barshai) The Brilliant one? Listened to Symphony No. 1 from that box last night. Brilliant aren't always brilliant, but when they're brilliant, they're brilliant.

I want the larger Vivaldi box and a couple of the historic Russian sets. What else was there? Big Superdrug was it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Superdrug was it? Oh, it was years ago. A small branch in central Bradford. Never saw them sell CDs before or since, so no idea how it came about. I got a complete Wagner Ring Cycle (live recordings) for a similar price. Edited July 21, 2018 by mjmooney 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xann Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 The Vivaldi box is supposedly stunning. New recordings too - The Brilliant Mozart and Bach complete works boxes were compiled with a stroke of a pen, with recordings licensed from other labels. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 Music: Various – Compendium International 2001 Bourges Hanne Darboven - Requiem Bernard Parmegiani – L'Œuvre Musicale En 12 CDBooks: Robert Musil - The Man Without Qualities Herman Melville - Moby-Dick; or, The Whale Tove Jansson - MoominsTelevision: Twin Peaks: From A to ZFilm: Stan Brakhage - An Anthology Mulholland Dr. Fanny and Alexander the complete versionEntertainment: Ice Skates At first I thought I'd be on the island for the rest of my life, but when I realised it was just for a year I changed all my book choices to ones that I haven't read yet, and changed two of the albums to ones that I want to hear but haven't been able to. The films and television remain the same, except for the Brakage which I've only partially seen, originally that was going to be Kiki's Delivery service, but I can watch that again when I get back. Entertainment I wasn't sure, I've always been scared of the ice, so Ice Skates if I can learn how to use them should boost my confidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
