I listened to a third CD in their Bach set this morning and enjoyed it. Obviously, any problem is with me (and where my mood is at) rather than with them.

I've listened to Café Zimmermann's Bach recordings over the past few years and there have been times when I've found them almost unlistenable. Some of the tempi have seemed so rushed that I wondered if someone had spiked their morning coffee with amphetamines (only half joking). Today, when I listened, all seemed fine. So the problem is evidently with me, not with them. Anyway, I wonder if anyone here has any opinions or thoughts to share about their listening experiences with this ensemble. I'll just keep listening and hope that things continue as they did today.

Some great stuff on that one

Not much I can say about the pain you're feeling except to keep the good memories close by and let time do its healing.

This material has been issued so many times and in so many ways that I'd pass even if I were offered a free copy. I do see that it might be worthwhile for new collectors.

Doesn't look like him - perhaps a very young version?

Sorry for your loss, Chuck. It's hard to lose a friend.

I've never read his blog. Seeing him here, he seems so full of himself that I have no desire to check it out.
