Morning Wednesday morning... Legs a wee bit sore following my return to football yesterday - especially where an opponent's studs went in... Not to worry... Have a top day everybody!

Just found an old list of records I used to own which seems to have quite a few I'd forgotten about! I'm going in, I may be some time, to quote Captain Oates - although he was leaving a tent going out into the cold and unlikely ever to return. I'm just going to look at an old list of some records...

#NP Nikolai Malko’s 1953 recording of Tchaikovsky’s “1812 Overture”, with the Philharmonia Orchestra. This will always be the definitive rendition for me.

Malko conducted the debut performances of Shostakovich’s first two symphonies in Leningrad in 1926 & 1927…

#DailyCDBox 38 (again, as I misnumbered 34-38) Morricone - Mozart

Box a day, playing 1 CD. Enough boxes to last over a year

Chose this cheeky wee rarity

In Mozart's day it was commonplace for small chamber groups to play arrangements of operas in people's front rooms

Delightful, of course
