It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

Decca "The Originals" classics remastered 96khz/24 bit - brilliant

Listening now to Regine Crespin (with Ansermet & Suisse Romande) singing Berlioz "Les Nuits d'etre" on 475 7712 - recorded 1963. Goose bump material. Takes me back to my early LP collecting days which featured a lot of Ansermet on Decca. But the sound I'm now hearing from these CDs far outclasses what I heard previously on LP (and much more conveniemnt + no clicks and plops!) My wife is not wrapped in soprano singing but is most impressed with Crespin's singing on this CD. You can see what else is on this release on the link below. Thoroughly recommended.

Some excellent releases in their "Originals" catalog. I also have Britten's "War Requiem" and it is similarly excellent. Looks like more "Originals" will be be soon on the shelf.

MDT list quite a few on "special" at

Not the cheapest (nor the most expensive) CDs around, but if the two I have are any guide, they would make excellent additions to any library.

Do not criticise the idiots in this world - we need them as they make the rest of us look so much better :-)
