From Perotin to Prokofiev (and beyond), performed by Caruso to Khatia, it's all here.

Ah, the sensual delight of physical media. So nostalgic! My latest: Arnold's Lyrita Dances and Thorson's 4L

Mozart concertos.

Another radio epiphany: the slow mov't of the 3rd in GM. Simple outlining of a triad again...I guess that's why Mozart's considered a genius.

The Lyrita Arnold Dances begins with Beckus and Dandypratt, and the opening reminded my why I can happily live without multi-channel. Immense, 3D soundstage. The Dances are worth

It's 1st on the TAS Lp superlist, which led some to believe it was the creme de la creme, when actually the list is/was alphabetical.

In any case, classic Wilkinson sound; charming, ingratiating compositions. "Honest Music", as Jim Sveda used to say. I haven't heard the CD, but the hi-res download, ($12.85 on sale at Presto) is a delight.

The Mozart VC's 3-5 made a splash for being the first DXD recording. It's on sale at Native DSD and all is very, very nice. I wouldn't say that it's the best recording I've ever heard, but it's above average and the playing is charming enough.

Great music for one's first cup of coffee.
