On a Dvorak binge lately.

I have a cabinet where I have put most of the single and double CDs that I've ripped in very thin plastic sleeves. As I rip them I give them a number and put them at the end of the drawer. So the drawer is in "when I ripped it" order. I actually spent the last year or so ripping and filing because I had done some, but not most, of what I owned before and then sort of gave up. Now pretty much everything is in that one cabinet except... I have various boxed sets (anything with 4+ disks) scattered around the house. But I isolate the ones I have not ripped yet in one cabinet so I can usually find them. I keep track of the serial numbers in iTunes/Apple Music, which stores all the ripped files. Now ... LPs are a different story.

Haydn: Complete String Quartets Angeles String Quartet From 2000

Pacifica Quartet and the Cavatina Duo. River of Fire.

I enjoyed it. The sound engineering is also nice. There seem to be a huge number of good Mahler 2 recordings, even some made recently and just released in 2025 (Simone Young, Kahchun Wong).

Mahler 2 with Zubin Mehta

DIsk 4

The Kodaly are nice and used to be comparatively cheap. The Angeles Quartet also has a complete set that I like.

What a cover

Got mine yesterday. Going through it today. Very good.
