sundays have become a very hectic day, must find some way to drop out an activity but don't see how........tea and silence too lazy to get up and turn the cd on........ah the wonders of technology the remote is within arm's lenght........of course the remote is of little use if there is no disc in the machine......dang.......beethoven..egmont,leonore,3....vintage recordings remastered ......toscanini and the nbc so. .............2 from 1939...1 from 1945............maybe not the best performance but certainly my fav of the 3rd was one i heard live down at SU.......my daughter was playing 3rd horn in it........the older recordings that have been remastered do a pretty good job as far as the strings and woodwinds are concerned but the bass sound like their playing into garbage cans........to tired to go on........night.........zzzzzzzzzzzzz.......
