More like this morning but,
I had to drop something off on the other side of town and pulled in for a coffee. The local orchestra had a five man brass ensemble playing in the parking lot with a sign stating "You have just been hit by a Random Act of Violins."

Of course, there were technically no violins in the group but I expect they were probably covering the surprise indoor venues as I don't think they would want to have their violins out in the morning humidity. Still, a cute promo activity.

No violins yet they post "You have just been hit by a Random Act of Voilins"?

That takes a lot of brass......

Congratulations, you sniped my typo edit.

OK, I'm not listening to it yet. Forgot it was even released.
Uno, Mark You have it yet?

Answer Me or so help me, you will never eat bacon again.

You can mail it to me... unless its part of that beef recall.

Bat For Lashes - "All Your Gold"

I'm loving this song and music video.

I like that song, too.

I am listening to Brahms 1st Symphony in a wonderful interpretation with the Berlin Philharmonic conducted by Eugen Jochum (circa 1951). I recommend this recording and its brother symphonies in a DG twofer which can be bought on Amazon and eBay. The sound is very good (on M80's) although it is a mono recording. I know there are some appreciators who visit this site who may very well enjoy this classic.

For the last couple days I've been listening to two things:

The Cameron Carpenter "Revolutionary" CD that has been discussed a good bit in this forum; and

Dvorak's 7th & 8th Symphonies by the Cleveland Symphony, as recommended by JohnK.

I just wanted to offer a big honkin' thank you to those who pointed toward these disks.

BTW, those of you who have "Revolutionary", do you have a sub that can handle the low "D" in "Toccata and Fugue in D minor"? Mine starts chuffing like I do when I climb too many stairs. So then I tried it in my car, which has a really serious subwoofer that I thought could handle anything. Same result. Amazing organ and amazing performance by Carpenter.
