This and That

Cartoon of the day:


Album of the day: Rachmaninov: The Four Piano Concertos
Bernard Haitink (Conductor), Concertgebouw Orchestra Amsterdam (Orchestra), Vladimir Ashkenazy (Performer) - A splendid recording! And definitely much better than the von Karajan and Alexis Weissenberg version--the orchestra overshadowed the piano (has something to do with von Karajan's celebrity-ego, I suspect).

Motion picture of the day: "Brief Encounter" by David Lean
