Randy, I'm in Redford - just northwest of Detroit. Been through South Haven several times on the drive between Grand Rapids and Chicago. Nice country!

I've heard of Redford, but've never been there. Went to U of M, so met a lot of guys from that area, various Det. suburbs.

Yes, the entire west coast of lower Michigan is incredibly beautiful and is generally unknown outside the state.

It's Prokofiev's berfday today. He turns 132 years old. Happy berfday, Sergei!

My favorite Prokofiev album, unavailable for a while, has finally appeared on Qobuz, and the CD is selling again on Amazon for cheap, so I guess it was re-issued.

The 5th Symphony in 4 movements:

Apparently there are glitches in the utoob sound, so be careful playing loudly on hifi.

Brand new album released today from audiophile label Reference Recordings:

Garrick Ohlsson Beethoven Piano Concertos

It is streaming now on Qobuz, but I don't see it listed on Amazon yet. Tidal?

I will be listening to it tonight. Let me know what you think!

Brahms’ Cello Sonata No. 2, opus 99, Jacqueline du Pré. Interesting article about her medical condition and how it affected her, linked below. Her music still resonates.
