RE: Boccherini

'Kind of into a Baroque thing over here. Actually I've been reading some Neal Stephenson and the first of his Baroque cycle novels. (Quicksilver) He's got the atmosphere well described so I'm adding some period correct music to add to the experience. (But please don't challenge me to a duel...;-)



The two Boccherini albums are on the Westminster label. One of the outer jackets (collection 1) has the older style 'hard like a book' thing going for it. And the lead-out groove does an oscillating fore-aft kind of thing. Decent recordings and in VG+ condition. The appearance of these two Lps suggests that they did not get a lot of play.

Those are the two Baroque Lps in play for today. Later on it is romance period. If you include Beethoven in that genre. In his way he's responsible for starting the whole movement, iirc.

The 1812 Tchaikowsky album is an Ormandy/Philladelphia symphony recording on columbia. Stereo 6 eye.

The plain wrapper Angel to the right is the Hungarian quartet performing Beethoven string quartet opus 132. It is a 'made in england' pressing so is not completely horrible as Angel Lps go.

And the 'spare Td124' is holding up the Ormandy album since it is next in the que. Entirely proper, I think.

happy spins.
