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...

I imagine a lot of it will be listened to exactly once (there are nineteen operas, for a start, and there's probably a good reason why I've never heard of thirteen of them). I'm looking forward to discovering new favourites, though.
