I can't. So my record collection will grow until it threatens the structural integrity of my flat. A few hours of rummaging on the internet usually throws up more albums than I can afford to buy, besides which I still haven't got round to having a proper listen to records I bought in the nineties - all of which I view as a good, if slightly mindblowing, thing.<br /><br />Classical music is a whole other universe. As it happens I recently heard a live orchestra for the first time (playing live to 2001: A Space Odyssey). I expected to be blasted out of my seat by <i>Thus Spoke Zarathustra</i> but instead (maybe because the acoustics at the Royal Festival Hall aren't that great) found myself far more impressed by the intangible gentleness of the sound that dozens of different instruments being played at once are capable of making.Artoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01846359529440273892noreply@blogger.com
