as you could wish for, but Seth is the first to say that words "can only attempt to describe what cannot truly be described". This two-CD set adds the inevitably missing dimension to a great book, with performances of works which feature in the story. They include the world-premiere recording of Beethoven's String Quintet in C minor, an obscure work which is central to the plot.This, like the rest of the selection, is beautifully played and recorded, for this is not a collection of second-rate recordings cobbled together to suit the theme. Vikram Seth himself has chosen the performances and, with performers of the stature of Iona Brown and Andras Schiff, the playing is as good as it gets. Included in the selection is Schubert's celebrated "Trout" Quintet.If the book gives a taste for the music and vice versa, these CDs will also get us delving further into this delightful and infectious repertoire. --Keith Clarke

I bought this book, An EqualMusic by Vikram Seth, for the grand sum of one penny on the basis of a review written by Floon. I was enchanted by his description of the storyline and the author?s writing style. I was not disappointed.
The author, Vikram Seth states, in an author?s note located on the last page of the book, that, ?Music to me is dearer even than speech?. To convey this, he focuses his novel on the world of music and its performance.
The central character, Michael Holme, is the second violinist in a London-based string quartet. His life has settled somewhat into a rut. He plays his violin; teaches the violin; makes love to one of his students, Virginie; rings his father; all as a matter of routine.
His comfortable lifestyle is suddenly disturbed by a series of events each connected and occurring in parallel ...
Advantages: Ease of navigation, features, size, design Disadvantages: Screen can be fiddly, poor camera
I have had three weeks now with my new Nokia 5800 XpressMusic, and I'm pleased to say it hasn't disappointed. I was at first very careful with my choice of mobile phone, as before I had chosen a bit of a dog. Furthermore, I was apprenhensive about the touch screen and its ease of use and general robustness. All in all, it has been pretty good so far.
The touch screen is intuitive, and Nokia's general layout is very easy to use. It is motion sensitive (much like the iPhone and iPod touch) so it rotates the layout of the screen as you rotate the phone. Texting takes a little getting used to (particularly with my large thumbs) but is, in general, good to use. It also comes with a stylus for easier navigation on the internet, as some of the links can be extremely small. Furthermore, it has a maps feature (again, much like the maps feature ...
