Yes, cat was cryoed and while still frozen, we used his wiskers to play the LP's. That's the only way to get them stiff enough for 1.9 grams track force.

Sammartini's Symphony in A, Concerto in C, Slovak Chamber Orchestra in a marvelous recording on Klimo OW 006 (coupled with Vivaldi concertos). If you love baroque music and you haven't discovered the six LPs made by Klimo (the German tube equipment mnaufacturer), get them if you ever see them. They are all wonderfully recorded with lovely performances.

Delius - "Music of Delius" Sir Thomas Beecham/Royal Philharmonic Orchestra (Seraphim S-60165)
Miles Davis - "Sketches of Spain" (Columbia PC 8271/Classic Records 200g reissue)

Ah, the Enescu Sonata: wonderful piece. Next time you can come over, Joe, let me introduce you to the Radu Lupu performance of this work in a characterful performance that captures some of the true Rumanian character of the work. Captivating.
