Day 24

Today is going to be quick and dirty, as I have to run and meet up with the parents in PA. This is a good thing, as today I listened to the final classical record in the small collection that I have right now. Come Monday I will have 12 more boxes of classical albums to listen to; which means if you're a sadist (and really who isn't?) you'll have weeks upon months upon years more of my blog to enjoy.

Side One
Piece: Symphony No. 5 in C Minor, Op. 67
1. Allegro con brio
2. Andante con moto
Composer: Beethoven
Orchestra: Sydney Symphony Orchestra
Conductor: Willem Van Otterloo
Record Date: Unknown, pressing date 1977 or 1978

Side Two
Piece: Symphony No. 5 in C Minor, Op 67
1. Scherzo (Allegro)
2. Finale (Allegro)
Egmont - Overture, Op. 84
Composer: Beethoven
Orchestra: Sydney Symphony Orchestra
Conductor: Willem Van Otterloo
Record Date: Unknown, pressing date 1977 or 1978

Quick bit of advice to all you potential audiophiles out there, clean your records! I was about to throw out this album because it sounded awful only to discover my needle was dirty, a quick clean makes all the difference.

'Till Monday.
