Whats on your turntable tonight?

Ralph, I'm very fond of the Solti Ring Cycle recordings. I have them all on London pressings, and just a couple repeated on Decca. Marvelous performances and recordings, it's simply amazing what John Culshaw accomplished with the aid of that remarkable Decca recording team.

I will join you regarding the Arvo Part; I was listening to his "Passio" the other evening. Your comment will have me pulling out the "Tabula Rasa" before I go to bed tonight, but I suspect "Fratres" may be my favorite work on that LP.

You are SO RIGHT about Atrium Musicae de Madrid. In my opinion, Paniagua (the director of this group) can do no wrong and has created amazing recordings over the years. Musique Arabo-Andalouse is certainly one of his best. And in simply outstanding sonics from Harmonia Mundi. Do you have the others?

BTW, Ann's judgment tonight is that the amps are sounding superb, a huge step up in performance in this MkIII iteration! THANK YOU!!
