Don't get me wrong: despite the hard time finding a no cost babysitter, I attend as many concerts as family duties and budget allow but I somehow end up going for piano or violoncello rather than violin. Classical FM in this remote end of Europe is actually quite good and it has a protocol for live broadcast of the Proms and Met Opera seasons. It also broadcasts several live recordings made by European radio stations but I am unable to record them. I have been fighting a lost war with my speakers and as a result the rest of my system is suffering from neglect - my FM performance isn't something to write home about - and limited funds aren't helping either. I end up "investing" more money on CDs.

Here is on Friday Charles Dutoit lead Boston Symphony with Prokofiev’s Violin Concerto No. 2, Op. 63, the violinist was Georgian (a country in Russia) musician Lisa Batiashvili. I was not home and record it via Remote Desktop from NY Citi – the concert turned out to be wonderful. The “SACD premastered by morons” material will not do it. Live is live. The fragment is in my regular 88/24…

Thanks for the file. It's thick with colour and atmosphere as were the previous ones. I have checked my webstore for Batiashvili's discography and will try her Sibelius' VC. Best, Tuga
