Oh blast! I was trying to insert a photograph so as to appear as tech savvy as you lot. I seem to have demonstrated exactly the opposite. I just thought you'd given up for the day, or discovered that long-forgotten pile of ironing... ;) 1. find an image on t'interweb
2. check for size options (always a good idea in life) - most browsers have an images tab which will list what size files are available: usually between about 400x300 and 600x500 is ok (you'll work out portrait or landscape)
3. right-click on the image you want and choose "copy image link"
4. paste the link here
5. highlight the link and press the little picture icon above the smiley faceGo on, have a go... :) How to create a monster, lesson number one... ;D

Is it really THAT good - or do we have to guess what it is??? The Sound of Silence is one of my favourites too... ;D ;D ;D Me too! My sitting room being next to a road,my top end,industrial ear defenders,were worth every penny!! I remember my grandfather lending me a tin of wax ear plugs,years ago. (Hopefully,unused?! ::)) The instructions inside boasted of their ability to reduce the noise of bombs dropping during the London Blitz! Unfortunately,the manufacturers were unable to anticipate the,much louder noise,created by ghetto blaster's and modern rock/pop music! :( ;D

Ah, so I can't insert an image of my own. (I can see why that proscription might be imposed; for example, I could try to upload an image of myself doing that ironing in the altogether. Not a pleasant thought.) It has to be an interweb image, does it?

Playing now: Delius: Paris RPO Beecham conducting
I like his earlier recording,with the Lpo,too. Beecham is still my first stop for Delius. Of course,it might be just an age,thing?! But then again,the first recordings I ever heard of Delius were by Groves,not Delius! I'm not a musician (I can play,chopsticks,though!! ;D) but it's just the way (knack?) Beecham has for shaping the music and bringing out the poetry. Particularly,the former,though. His Delius sounds less flabby! The faint hiss of shellac does add that touch of,'way back when',though!! ;D

Although (as I've said elsewhere) I don't tend to have a great deal of sympathhy with Delius, there's no doubt that Beecham is the 'go-to guy' for his works. He convinces me that Delius really did have something to say more than any other conductor does. I also agree with you re the shellac hiss. Whenever I encounter it I get all nostalgic about powdered eggs and Geraldo. :D

Franz Reizenstein: Piano Concerto No 2 Victor Sangiorgio (piano) RSNO Martin Yates conducting
The Dutton cd. (So Stanley Bate,next!) The Reizenstein is a bit of a barnstormer. A good find! :)
