I'm trying to think of the other long liebestods, and the only others are the Behrens/Bernstein and the Gray/Goodall — I think this one takes the cake

I have the Behrens / Berstein. What recording is this Norman one? Davis with London S.O.?

Tennstedt is a great conductor, only got to see him once, conduct a Bruckner 8 with Philadelphia, great Mahlerian too!

This looks like the album for the "Liebestod" Tennstedt and London Phil.

Possibly this on the Walkure / Levine and the Met
I have that complete Ring set on DVD but I usually prefer to let my inner eyes set the stage.
CD more better for that.

Ordered. Phew, hadn't purchased any music in a few months. I feel better now.

I can’t stop buying music. A few months would be like withdrawal

As I sit here sipping my morning joe, left over from yesterday, we were discussing coffee making means and methods, when my SO suggested using a hammer.

And so for us heathens, just grab a, preferably clean, gym sock, then carefully pour a bunch of beans into the sock and wail away with your framing hammer as you pound those pesky beans into submission.

We figure this 'hands on approach' is a step up from cowboy coffee and while the sock may need an occasional run thru the clothes washer, it certainly will add a more visceral aspect to the morning ritual.

You're welcome!!!

hahahahahahahahahahahaha
