    what I just listened to

    I'm rather partial to this particular recording performed by Clifford Curzon:
    "Beethoven's Movement: The Emperor"
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W9r9NvPLbYM
    Clifford Curzon " Piano Concerto no. 5" (1. Mov.) Beethoven

    maybe that is because his rendition was my first time owning it under certain conditions back during a certain time

    I think I'll go immerse myself down into it again, for reminiscing sake...

      not to mention I like the feel of how that movement flows under the command of those particular fingers

        I grew up on this too-never get tired of listening to it-an awesome "modern musical" of Tchaikovsky's PC in B - FM

            Yes - I like that recording too. On my copy, he also gives a fine rendition of the "Eroica Variations".

            I'm in an English mood today (my ancestry asserting itself) and have been listening to "The Planets" and the "Enigma Variations".

              Last night here in Strasbourg was the usual Sound 'n Light show at the Cathedral (I'm not at all sure it should carry a capital "C"; please advise). In any case, this year was an exception : instead of the usual grand classics relayed via recorded sound source there was in fact a full symphony orchestra playing live. Imagine! I cannot now recall the medley of classics that were played, but I am thankful it didn't rain.

                It should not carry a capital 'C'.

                  I'm so smart I had to look it up on the web - if cathedral is used with a proper name-then by all means, give it a big C (or so that's how I translated it-am I wrong? ) buuuut.... usually--Big C little c - no matter to me--if I succeeded in correct spelling, that's usually good enough for me (Si, Senor?? I can't even spell "but")

                      If it didn't rain and you were happier as a result, Philip--I'm glad for you

                          Hi Lisa. It's very nice to know you. But I am not PDC, I am PDG. Although PDC and I are identical twins (only our mother can tell us apart), I tend to be the more handsome sibling...

                              sorry again-I must've suffered a moment of dyslexia (the most intense ones were in the first grade when I wrote my L's backward--I was taught NOT to do that by Ms Teacher )

                              I'll take your word that you're the better looking of the two-LOL
