        That was neat. I guess it's lost to history who invented that configuration of notes on a keyboard, but it sure has stood the test of time. Pretty brilliant actually.

        Education is extremely important.

            New Steven Wilson remix of this classic progressive rock album.

            Yes, I know the the story behind it and I also know all of the lyrics from memory. I used to play along with it on the drums in my youth.

                  @kluurs I assume a HIP performance?

                  How does it compare to Gardiner's recordings? Are they as "brisk?"

                    I haven’t made it through the whole cycle, and it’s been a while since I have visited Gardiner but my sense is that Bruggen brings more refinement, Gardiner more passion.

                      Well - have done a few comparisons. Gardiner wins on the 9th - but early symphonies and 6th - I might take the Bruggen - better sound. We can compare next visit.

                          Better performance as well in the early symphonies.

                            @kluurs I'll never forget, when I was in college, I'd spend time at my friend's home (his name was George too, btw), and we'd go down to the basement to study (we shared some classes). We'd always put some classical music.

                            One day, WFMT was playing the Beethoven 1st symphony, and George started to sing along...

                              I learned this P&F about 15 years ago. Had I played it like this my teacher would have thrown something at me.

                                Have you listened to any of Jordi Savall’s Beethoven’s symphony cycle on period instruments?

                                I rather liked it.

                                  Yes!! It's excellent. I haven't listened to them in a while - maybe another set to comapre with Gardiner. I have a great deal of respect for Savall and have collected a huge number of his recordings - though i've slowed down in the age of streaming. I was delighted to get to hear him in concert just before the Pandemic hit.

                                    Friend had this "album". Quite good I think.

                                    I can't say that I'm sorry when I don't feel so wrong anymore
                                    I can't tell you I'm tryin' when there's nothin' left here to try for

                                    And I don't know how it happened
                                    We've both abandoned the reason we used to believe
                                    Was it love that we shared when we easily cared?
                                    Now it's impossible to conceive
                                    etc
