I'm not partisan here but Milan were diffident first half, then lucky, second half better but hardly entertaining unlike Liverpool I don't know about "entertaining" (I was pulling for Liverpool, and the way they were wasting opportunities- particularly in the second half- had me talking to the tv set ), but just look at the way Milan beat the trap and finished on that second goal. Perfect run, perfect weight on the through ball, neat finish. The Reds may have had the better of the possession for most of the match, but they simply never looked very dangerous in the final third. In the late stages, they were downright careless on several occasions. I don't find that entertaining. Kewell was a real disappointment, I thought. It's was only Kewell's second or third game in a year, he's been injured. He should not have played at all in an important game like this. Liverpool may have had more possession, but Milan were the better side, they simply have more quality and that's what counts most of the time.

Kuijt: 2-1 - too little too late...

Yeah, but it does count... The whole game sucked.

Inzaghi: Milan 2-0 up in a very disappointing game that's hardly worth watching in my opinion.

If the shipping cost isn't specified in the description of the item, I always ask the seller before bidding.

Liverpool is sympathetic, but I prefer AC Milan's quality football, with players like Kaká and Seedorf. The way they destroyed Man United in the second leg of their semifinal was amazing.

Ah yes, Lipatti... Great pianist, died way too young. His recordings can be found on EMI and (I think) Testament. I don't have many Chopin interpretations, just Dinu Lipatti, Artur Rubinstein (RCA), Vladimir Ashkenazy (Decca), Yuri Egorov (EMI; another pianist who died too young) and Maria João Pires (DG). They're good enough for me.

I agree on all counts.

Sorry, but I take it you mean you can't do much better than the Barshai cycle

The symphonies are a mixed bag in my opinion. I don't care for the early ones and the later ones are not all good. I have a lot of Haitink and I sometimes enjoy his interpretations, but he's indeed too soft, too sophisticated for Shostakovich. Kondrashin is fine and so is Mravinsky, though I'm talking from memory here, I haven't heard their interpretations in a long time. Gergiev is a bit "too much" for me (as is his Tchaikovsky) and I haven't heard Barshai. Jansons doesn't convince me - actually, he almost never does, don't know why... Neither does Rostropovich, by the way. Karajan in No.10 is pretty good, surprisingly, and Ashkenazy is not bad in No.5. Many Russian recordings (Melodiya!) don't sound good, they're sometimes outright awful. Sorry I couldn't be of more help...

The only correct spelling of his name is Russian Other languages seem to have their own, sometimes very different spellings.

Sale pending.

EMI reissued their top (or maybe I should say "most popular") classical recordings time and time again, most of them in new remasterings. The "Great Recordings of the Century" series is 24-bit remastered, but I don't like the sound on the ones I had: too aggressive, especially the string sound.

It's been many years since I heard this performance and I don't own the CD, so I can't really comment. I found this Gramophone (U.K.) review of the earlier CD reissue of these recordings: Reviewed: Gramophone 3/1988, Edward Greenfield As Trevor Harvey pointed out in his original review in 1962, this Heifetz version of the Scottish Fantasy has some cuts, small ones in orchestral tuttis, but substantial ones in the finale, reducing it by some three minutes. Even then TH was prepared to forgive the aberration when this master among virtuosos was inspired to ''far more than acrobatics''. Now as we mourn Heifetz's death, it makes a superb memorial issue, and I totally endorse TH's praise for the Maestro's ''range of colour, his subtlety of line, his feeling''. Even more than most of his records of the post-war period, this account of the Scottish Fantasy makes nonsense of the idea of Heifetz as either cold or ruthless, when it so consistently speaks of his deep personal love of a then-neglected work. The G minor Concerto too (originally coupled with Mozart's No. 4 in A) finds Heifetz at his sweetest and most sympathetic, with even the incidental passagework shaped winningly. It is a lesson too that though the balance of the soloist is close, there is never any mistaking as I fear there often is with Itzhak Perlman's even more marked preference for close balancing whether or not the soloist is producing a genuine pianissimo. With Heifetz one fully registers the hush even from an instrument placed close, magically so in the slow movement. Like the Scottish Fantasy, with which it was originally coupled on LP, the Vieuxtemps needs and gets a committedly persuasive advocate here. The work is no longer as neglected as when this recording originally appeared, but there is no more commanding version than this on disc. Unlike some of the earlier RCA transfers to CD of Heifetz performances these English-made recordings come up very well indeed in the new digital transfer, with the violin sound very full and immediate and with a fine sense of presence and only the occasional hardness on orchestral violin tone to betray age. Generous measure too.' Edward Greenfield

I'd hardly call a total of 40 votes representative. hey you don't use the franchise and you can't be heard to complain! Who says I didn't?? And if you think I didn't, why did you tell me I could change my vote, here?? i wasn't referring to "you" i was referring to those whom you think are not being "represented" by the 41 who DID vote! I see. No problem.

Yep, that is my point

In that case I've been misinformed.

I'd hardly call a total of 40 votes representative. hey you don't use the franchise and you can't be heard to complain! Who says I didn't?? And if you think I didn't, why did you tell me I could change my vote, here??

I'd hardly call a total of 40 votes representative.

So, where are the polls for separate blues/R&B, country and rock forums?
