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 ...
Advantages: Almost universally accepted, makes you more financially aware Disadvantages: Can't write cheques, not a lot really!
and a silver one. I went for the silver but received the purple anyway! Never mind! When you?ve completed the form, drop it in at your bank along with two pieces of proof of your identity, and they will open your account for you. In fact they will be more than pleased to open your account, because they know that if they can capture customers at an early age they have more chance of retaining them for the future when they?re a better investment!
When your account is set up, you?ll receive a number of items through the post. As well as your card and PIN number, which will arrive separately for security purposes, the nice bank people will also send you a paying-in book and a welcome pack. The former allows you to pay cash and cheques into your account using the Bank Giro Credit system. The latter will give you a good introduction to your Solo card ...

Advantages: Can't get into debt, lots of shops take it, from 11 with some banks, Disadvantages: Woolies don't take it!
The Solo card is a debit card aimed at young people that works like a Switch except you can’t get overdrawn – in other words in debt. It’s a great idea and allows young people to shop through mail-order and on the internet without using their parents credit card. Though some adults also have it if they’re not too hot with money-management!
The Solo card is accepted widely and most shops accept it, though it is not accepted as widely as Switch. Woolworth’s don’t take it which seems rather stupid considering many of their customers are young people. Though the Solo is accepted far more than the Visa Electron, which only a small minority of shops seem to take.
Solo offers a cashback feature which you can use at all shops taking Solo. Most places won’t charge you, but smaller shops might. I was ...
