Seven pounds eight ounces of joy

[example22]

The world is divided into Mozart fans and Wagner fans, and I am definitely a Mozart fan. Even so, I dithered for quite a while in HMV before I had an attack of box-set-ism and bought the complete Mozart. Only fifty quid in the sales, and it's one hundred and seventy CDs. That's a thirty-centimetre stack, weighing 3.4 kilos (and that's in paper envelopes; if they were in jewel cases, you'd have to build an extension to your house).

I'm all partied out (thanks, smallbeasts, for the New Year party, and purpletigron and purplecthulhu for the open house), and I now have the perfect reason to hibernate. 10 down, 160 to go...

Wow! I take it they are excellent recordings?

It was a pleasure to see you :-)

Excellentness is not something I'm competent to assess, but they seem fine enough to me. There are quite a lot of different artists involved (you'd guessed, hadn't you?), but nothing obviously in a league with "Mickey Mouse Band of Bavaria Plays Your Classical Top Fifty".

Good to see you, too. See you at the Pembury Tavern, or Picocon, whichever is sooner...
