Yes I did know that but just worded it badly! Do you have any other Baltic choral music you would recommend? I found some of Vox Clamantis other recordings online, mainly plainsong which is just a bit too plain […]

Thanks for posting their videos of Kreek further up the thread, Kaisfatdad. I think I will be definitely looking into their other work.

You have sold me on your Estonian choral no 1 Harp of Babel, especially after listening to the track KFD helpfully put on the Spotify list. Am making an inaugural Classical Ipod and that has gone straight on it, […]

@fentonsteve Just finished it. Was brilliant and made me think what Bill Withers would have made of all the different ways the song has had meaning this year. Next week is the Proclaimers wonderful Sunshine on […]

I do have a few numbers by Mel Torme but not that one which would certainly liven up the scrubbing. Fab clip with groovy dancing too!

Thanks, Colin. Yes I did think at the time it would eventually make a funny story. We did complain and they launched an investigation and sent me the results. That was quite bizarre too. 2 of the recommendations […]

Many thanks Dave And Tig. Of course I am imagining me aged about 25 when I was a slip of a thing and no middle-aged spread!

Thanks Gary. That is great you have just had the Gamma Knife treatment done, albeit one more surreal experience to add to the list. I have heard from my FB support group that it works really well on tumours in […]

I think it doubtful there are Haden Sextuplets. You need to throw yourself into the Xmas spirit with the Dolly album (see my review at end of my post on Blogger LXX). It has a bit of everything, massed choirs, […]

Thanks Tig. I looked up Matthew Halsall Salute to the Sun, and his trumpet playing was beautiful and I loved the melodies too. I would have bought it if not for the background tweeting sounds that sounded like an […]
