Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau - Early Recordings on Deutsche Grammophon

Horowitz - Complete DG Recordings in one small box

Advantages: Unparalleled playing, Unbelievably good bargain for 6 CDs!
Disadvantages: Um, paper sleeves? No, seriously, it's great

This box set comprises recordings from 1985-89, when Horowitz was 81 years old! In 1986 Horowitz returned to Russia after 60 years away to give his monumental Moscow recital of which the live recording is included in this set. I personally find this performance of Liszt's Sonetto 104 del Petrarca to be the finest ever recorded. Alongside this is Scarlatti, Mozart, Rachmaninov, Scriabin, Schumann, Chopin, Moszkowski, and Schubert. Accompanying this recital is 5 other discs of outstandingly unique playing. As he got older, Horowitz's playing became a sort of caricature of itself in the nicest possible way. By this I mean, his dynamics became more extreme, he became more expressive than ever, and his sense of style was heightened to new levels. Horowitz's Mozart playing has been criticized for being too free and not in Mozart ...

Review of Horowitz - Complete Deutsche Grammophon Recordings

City Night Line from Deutsche Bahn

Advantages: Clean, private, good breakfast, take your time to travel
Disadvantages: No dining car on our train, not easy for the less mobile

to do, we contacted the Deutsche Bahn call centre in London. You can go on their website (www.bahn.co.uk) for timetables, availability information, pricing and you can purchase your tickets in this way. The website is pretty well laid out, but we didn't use it because we needed to get our discounts, which had to be done over the phone. We made several calls to the call centre because we were booking very early and the different legs of the journey were only available for booking at a certain period of time ahead of departure, so I rang once to get information, again to book the Eurostar Leg and finally to get the DB legs. I found the staff to be not only very helpful and polite, but also enthusiastic. When I explained the trip that we were undertaking one operator was genuinely interested in it and offered advice about what to do in ...

Review of Deutsche Bahn (formerly Deutsche Bundesbahn)(Germany)

Marlene De Dietrich

Advantages: Oh, please have a look at the opinion and you'll see them all!
Disadvantages: There's one or two niggles in there too!

?ve been used to and I didn?t want the expense of putting gas piping into the kitchen. Put like that it doesn?t seem like very much, but eventually it was a choice between a few of the De Dietrich models and I opted for this one because it seemed the simplest. The oven fits into a standard-size oven unit from most of the suppliers of fitted kitchens. You?ll find all the dimensions in the catalogue or on the website, so I won?t bore you with them here. In simple terms the top oven will cope with a large turkey and the bottom oven happily does a meal for two people. Due to circumstances beyond my control (otherwise known as workmen) my kitchen wasn?t ?finished? (this is a technical term meaning that it?s useable if not pretty) until Christmas Eve and the first thing my oven had to cook was the Christmas cake, rapidly followed by all ...
