She had a surprised look when I told the wife to go for a leisurely shopping to Bloomingdales instead of Macys. I started listening to Mahler 9, a recent gift from a nephew. Wow, I was frightened at the prospect of the lady upstairs complaining to the Committee and all. Quickly changed to the CD Music For A Glass Bead Game (JMR 15) that was gifted by an affectionate inmate Vicar of Wakefield who is also an organist. That music was calming, Bach and Handel especially. I must thank that friend here now.
I must seriously consider using headphones even though my favorite music like Mozart K165 and Operas by Callas are within allowable limits. I did enjoy some Mahler , the 4th movement of Symphony 5 before the Perry Como lover of the last 55 years returned after shopping.
Cheers

Follow Ups:
In a decently set up system that recording sounds palpably palpable.
carefully put together by our own John Marks.
Cheers

Really? Had no idea.
I need to read the credits. John's Arturo Delmoni LPs are BIG favorites of mine. No wonder I liked that Glass Bead disc.
Agree. It's a very nice collection of classical music.
For a real kick, maybe Bill's Mrs. should read "The Glass Bead Game (Magister Ludi)".
Although not my favorite of Hesse's books, many consider it his masterpiece.
My wife has read Siddharta and liked it. She has seen the movie too. The Glass Bead Story sounds pretty philosophical and hard to digest. Would ask our daughter who is the Professor in the family to interpret.
Meanwhile I will play some Perry Como for her in return for cooking Beef Vindaloo for the last 55 years!

And don't forget the hug.
For me it's a toss up between Sidhartha and Steppenwolf.
'I must seriously consider using headphones'
*ahem* ... *cough* ... *hmm*
I've heard that somewhere before, sounds familiar ...
with regards,
I should have known. Audiophiles have tremendous memory.
Three downsides to headphones. First is WAF again with my not hearing what she is saying. Second is my dislike of listening to music all by myself and not sharing with someone. Considers it selfish.Third is not listening to the pair of speakers chosen after several nervous breakdowns. If I can listen to the tiny thing and enjoy it, I may as well listen to tiny Bose speakers.
Regards
Bill
wives love headphones get her some too, you need 'me' time just as she needs 'her' time and it's not selfish for either one of you, in fact it really should be required ... finally, just don't get Bose headphones ... the end
regards,
