Don't let the facts get in the way of a good Slipped Disc story
[…] RCA, Unicorn-Kanchana, were particularly affected. Whilst some of these labels are long-gone, it is commendable that Hyperion will replace bronzed discs free of charge if you send them in. I found five such discs in my collection a short time ago and received replacement CD/CDR discs within a week.' Out of the thousands of CDs I have bought over four decades just one has exhibited decay.

A complete performance of the symphony in a new recording conducted by Robert Trevino is also included. Hear, discover and compare.”Unfortunately, you will not find the four conductors I mentioned in the introduction; however, you will find enough varied interpretations to get the idea that all music is subjective and can be perceived differently by both a conductor and an […]
