Todays CD. Beethoven Symphony No. 5. An almost 42 years old CD, among the first ones i bought. As new, and still with a sound quality few can match.

The sound quality of this recording of Bartók's The Wooden Prince and The Miraculous Mandarin is among the, if not the, best I have heard. #BIS #Bartok #classicalmusic

Finally saw Mahler's 2nd symphony live! So many performers they hardly all fit.

Listening to Pettersson symphony 6 and symphony 8. New composer to me (embarassing as I am Swede), but absolutely awesome music!

Ran across this box by chance. Muti conducting Verdi and other italian composers. Pure gold. Toscanini level performances!

This brings back many memories. Kamu was the chief conductor in Helsingborg in the 1990s. I visited many memorable concerts, among them a Beethoven 7th I still have not heard any recording come close to. I am not familiar enough with this work to say if it is the best, but a vey enjoyable recording.

Today it is exactly 166 years since the premiere of Liszt's Dante symphony. Sure in 500 years it will be a better annaversary with 666 number if the beast years. I won't be alive then so I celebrate with listening to some Inferno today with the CD I would play if Lucifer dropped in for a coffee.

Many people regard Liszt as trash. I guess my taste is really bad because he is one of my favourite composers. I listened through a couple of versions of Mazeppa on Presto today. The sound of Weimar was way to slow. The Masur is a good interpretation but my choise today is Mehta. Boy does he get it!

This is one of my favourite covers. Also nuts but in another way.

This evenings entertainment. Muti is a conductor that kind of flew under my radar when I was younger. A mistake it turns out. The Tchaikovsky second in this box is probably the best version of this symphony I've heard.

Galdhöpiggen i Norge kan jag rekommendera. Den guidade turen från Juvasshytta går i replag över glaciären, sedan klättting upp på toppen.

Todays classical recording. Borodins second starts with a bang, a really powerful movement.
