Recorded in July 1962 (Mendelssohn) and June 1964 (Brahms) .... the almost bold approach of Janos Starker suits really well here ....

good duo !

Recorded @ Marl, Recklinghausen in 1984 after two live performances .... Oscar Shumsky waived his concert fee to finance this recording which remained unissued for nearly 40 years .... the romantic drama is mesmerizing here ....

Under the radar artist !

Haven't purchased it yet.  So you decided not to buy the box?  Or did you buy it and not like it?

... a little underwhelmed by the music (i listened to, Nos. 4,5), didn't bought it. The fourth symphony doesn't sound coherent to me. Just my opinion. I don't want to end up with an enormous collection for no reason. It's easy to drown in his own pretensions.

Is this your first time reading this?

Catcher in the Rye, even today, is a book people like to ban. According to one site I saw, “The American Library Association states that The Catcher in the Rye has been banned by schools and public libraries for having ‘excess vulgar language, sexual scenes, things concerning moral issues, excessive violence and anything dealing with the occult’ and ‘communism,’ among other things.”  Yeah, that’s the whole point of reading it! I still have my original copy that I read back in 9th or 10th grade in 1965 or 1966. 

First time i've read the book and i loved it. Yes, i do understand what the fuss is about. There is a complex layer of psychology to the main character ... hidden history, hidden messages ?!
