Disc 2 - works by Schumann & Beethoven

Thanks Ollie, great CD. I bought it after hearing some impressive extracts during your interview last Thursday on Resonance FM (Ben Thompson’s London Ear, a consistently excellent programme). Rachel Musson is amazing on it, as you say! Recommended. Anthony London

So long, friend.

Indeed.

Miles Davis “The Complete Live in Paris Volume 1 and 2” Lost Recordings UHQCD 2 cd set, disc 1 Recorded at the Olympia Theatre Paris, 11 October, 1960–Davis, Stitt, Kelly, Chambers and Cobb. I broke down and ordered this, and it arrived today. Not that much of this are really “lost recordings” but none-the-less a great packaging of killer music. 960×960 77.2 KB Certainly sounds great. Better than previous versions. 960×960 70.1 KB

I used to be a big customer and receive their weekly e-mails. Last week I placed my first order in four years. [No longer buy as much classical.] Today I got the following email. Kind of sad, like the end of an era. A Note from Berkshire Record Outlet Dear fellow music-lovers, The time has come to announce our closure within the next sixty days. In the interim, we have a backlog of new and restocked titles that we plan to offer you via our usual updates, in preparation for the subsequent sale of the entire inventory to a consortium of wholesalers. With one exception, we’re all well past retirement age, and the challenges of running a niche business in the year 2025 are more than this near octogenarian is willing to confront. In short, after fifty-one years, we bid you farewell. Thank you all for your patronage. Best wishes, Joe Eckstein

What?! Thanks for the tip on this, Dan... any more info re author or publishing press?

No software, I just complied it. I will have to check it out.

Definitely in for this!

I said it backwards, sorry. I meant that he probably had MORE respect for real players like Tjader than he would have had for the likes of Fogerty.
