  1. @Furlozza As suspected, the Chandos/Janssons Tchaikovsky set has been reissued at a cheaper price. Might be worth considering. #classic100
  2. Using twitter's web page is PAINFUL! You start typing then the textbox loses focus due to slow google-analytics crap in the background :-(
  3. @burnsy1977 A shame indeed. Apart from the Saint-Saƫns, I already have the top 10 (2 sets of Beethoven: Norrington & Zinman). #classic100
  4. Yikes! The #classic100 symphony boxed set doesn't include a movement (or part thereof) from each one: http://tinyurl.com/classic100symphony
  5. @Furlozza Prokofiev's 1st is ranked 27th and Tchaikovsky's 4th comes in at 28th. Or do you mean no excerpts from these at all? #classic100
  6. With the top 10 being complete recordings, then that doesn't leave room for much of the rest. Faded-excerpts at best, surely? #classic100
  7. @koyaaanisqatsi One would have to be a dedicated Haydn fan to buy a complete set of his... and Bach for cantatas, too :-) #classic100
  8. @dmj1066 I'd recommend buying best of complete sets. I have them of Mozart, Beethoven, and Shosta. Now need Brahms, Mahler, etc #classic100
  9. The GIMP is finally getting some UI lovin' (http://bit.ly/16rChH). I just hope they let you "split" the main viewing area several times.
  10. A month has passed since I copied data off a DVD in Linux, and when I do so today, it totally freezes. After copying 100%, no less! Grrrr!
  11. The original Classic 100 from 2002 has been reissued (which I missed): http://bit.ly/O743I #classic100
  12. Previous ABC Classic 100 [whatever] information: http://bit.ly/utMmX #classic100
  13. Time to close my ABC streaming window. G'night y'all! #classic100
  14. @Furlozza Brisbane beat St. George? Oh dear... my boss isn't going to be in a good mood come Monday :-( #classic100
  15. I wouldn't mind seeing a Top 100 Jazz/Swing/Big Band/etc... being comparitively uneducated about the lot #classic100
  16. @blairmartinSEE Well, I guess it can be a bit drawn out, but not as much as Bruckner's symphonies are excessively long winded! #classic100
  17. @blairmartinSEE No likee Brahms' requiem? Not even the first movement? Shakes head in disappointment #classic100
  18. @ChristineHayman Her accent is an acquired taste. I've heard it referred to as "estuary" for some reason. #classic100
  19. After realising it wasn't Paul Bevan's fault that Clive Robertson was ousted, I have grown to enjoy Paul's programming. #classic100
  20. @dmj1066 I voted for things I thought might miss out: Sibelius 3, Vaughan Williams 5, and Walton 1 (but mostly glad of top 20) #classic100
