Oooooh! Nocturnes on Stockfisch, what a treat! Have been very inpressed by the SQ of their recordings.
But how do you find Bogányi? His earlier outing on Ondine was a bit of a bumpy landing, although I thought it showed some promise. I will definitely add this to my backlog but won’t have time to listen until after my “December project” is finished. How does he compare to the benchmarks (Rubinstein, Arrau, Pollini etc.)?

Hmmm, I wonder what Robert’s reader app will make of the macrocosm cover?

I knew that someone would remark upon that! 
I don’t think it’d be able to read it…
Would hate to disappoint you Jonathan. Cheap humour, the Strutslets tell me, is one of my long suits…
Evidently…
Keep it going!
My sons tell me the same…
they call me the “pun-Meister”!

I find this live performance very enjoyable.
Sublime vocals from Alison Krauss and top notch instrumental skills from all.
Excellent RQ/SQ.

I guess I ought to mention that Denny isn’t on any of those Moody Blues albums. He left the group in 1966.
Sad to hear this though. R.I.P.
