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, [livejournal.com profile] smallbeasts, for the New Year party, and [livejournal.com profile] purpletigron and [livejournal.com profile] 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...
