OK, now I have checked my notes.
Actually it was for the release of Steven Spielbergs Young Sherlock
movie (what was it called?) that the investigation was made.
The result was that only 30 % of intended audience, age 10-17 years,
recognized the name Sherlock Holmes. And Spielberg decided not to market
the movie as a Sherlock Holmes movie.
And when Disney heard this they decided to release "The Great Mouse 
Detective" without Sherlock in the name, marketing etc.

Of course, that depends on what you mean by middle-aged. Does anybody
know her age?

Enya's name is Eithne Ni Bhraonain.  She is the sister of Maire Ni Bhraonain, 
Pol O Braonain, and Ciaran O Braonain of the irish group Clannad.
Eithne comes from a rather musical family in the county Donegal, Ireland.

She appeared on the Clannad album Fuaim ("sound" in irish) with her brothers, sister, and uncles. Now she's does her own albums.

My comments about Noteworthy's selection were intended to (1) offer
an alternative for people who do not have good access to CD's and
(2) offered about their selection in general.  If you look at the cross
section of music, classical, pop, jazz, they do have an excellent
selection.  Their classical inventory may not be able to compete
with a specialty store, but it is *far* superior to Columbia House,
BMG, and other mail order places.  And they do have things that are
not in the catalog.  All it takes is a phone call to find out.

No, Maazel.

Shostakovich, Dmitri
        Symphony No. 5 (1981) - Telarc CD-80067 [DDD]
        Cleveland/Maazel

Have not heard the Levi, but the Maazel is excellent.  I wish someone
who has heard both the Jarvi and the Maazel would comment about the
two recordings.

Well, I will agree that their selection of rock is pretty good.  But for
classical mail-order, Haverstyk and Ballyk in Texas (sorry, no phone number
on hand) is literally at least two orders of magnitude better in selection,
and if you wait for their sales, their prices are not much above Noteworthy
(as of two summers ago).  I'm not anti-Noteworthy; on the contrary, I've
bought many discs from them.  But for a serious classical music library
turn to H&B.  I think there is a yearly membership charge of $7 or so, but
if you're like me, the amortized cost dwindles away.

As for the Maazel 5th, I'm intrigued....

I imagine that you're referring to the section that comes about 10
minutes into the 2nd movement.  _That_ section is one of the most
maniacal that I've ever heard, with the trumpets laying down a theme
right before the drum march that makes me think of being inside the mind
of a madman.  I love it.

I'd have to say that the first movement of the 11th still gets my vote
for being one of the best pieces of eerie mood music that I've ever
heard.  In fact, I remember that my first exposure to DS was when Carl
Sagan used that piece for a "flying through space" sequence in "Cosmos".
Being 13 at the time, I didn't know who it was, but I knew that I really
liked it.

>Am I the only one here that likes the 7th and 12th ?  Come on, where are
>the all the Bruckner and Mahler cross-overs ??????

Well, I like the first movement of the 7th, even though it's an obvious
take-off on the Bolero motif.  The section before the crescendo is quite
exhileratingly (sp) bombastic.  The rest of it, though, is rather slow.

The 12th, on the other hand, is mostly symphonic action throughout
(except for the slow 2nd movement).  The 1st movement is extremely
rousing.  It's be hard not to get stirred up by all that trumpet blaring
and militaristic drum tapping.  Almost makes one wannna be a member of
the Proleteriate!
  
As for Mahler and Bruckner...don't have any of their stuff.  Couldn't
say.

OK. The 8th, again Jarvi/SNO on Chandos. Although Maxim Shostakovich's
recording with the LSO on Collins is ok

the 11th, James DePriest conducting the Helsinki Philharmonic is fantastic
on DELOS (D/CD 3080 from memory)...

I hate to play the anal-retentive Music Librarian here, BUT such a tape
would still be a flagrant copyright violation. To comply w/ copyright 
law, a tape must be :1) composed only of excerpts,  AND 2) be covered
by the "Fair Use" provision of copyright law. Making a tape of an
excperpt to accompany a presentation on Russian Music, for example, 
would be fine; making a sampler or anthology without paying royalties
is NOT fine. Its a substitute for purchasing the music, and therefore
no go.

Not that Im gonna call the copyright cops on ya, or anything, but...

This is an *excellent* followup to the 5th.  And Gary is correct about the
pace set by Haitink.  Makes it one of my favorite recordings.  I would
not think that the 10th would be particularly good followup to the
5th (although the second movement is incredible).

    [D] Symphonies No. 6 and 11 (1985) - London 411 939-2 [DDD]
        Concertgebouw/Haitink

The sonic quality is incredible.  I don't think there was a picture

Hey! Watch it, your talking about my favorite symphonist!  I can only guess
that this remark is tounge-in-cheek, as anyone that actually thinks that GM's
beautifully life-affirming, glorious symphonies are depressing  is out of his
mind!!  Yea, he has his dark moments (lovely ones, at that), and I must say
that in the very little DS I have heard, DS can be quite bleak at times, also.
Take away my Mahler and I would very well end up in a depression clinic!

Easy:

Neeme Jarvi/SNO on Chandos CHAN 8630 (or 8650 or 40) it is the best
version I have heard, and I have heard about 7 or 8 of them, and owned
at least 3...

the ultra cheap Naxos isn't so bad if you're after a 'taste' of shost, but
if you want the full and wonderful performance you can't go past Jarvi, even
though I have heard Mravinsky's is better...

The best one I've heard is actually a tie between two Soviet recordings.
The first is one with Kiril Kondrashin; the other one is with a guy who is 
rather obscure.  What they lack in fidelity and production value, they more 
than make up in vitality and character.  These are out of print I'm sure.

The next best is a live recording now on CD with the Chigaco Symphony 
with Leopold Stokowski.  It was made in 1966.  It is electrifying!  It
sends shivers down my spine and gets the blood really moving every time
I hear it.  It's been on the radio a couple times and I've managed to
get an off-the-air recording of it so I won't have to buy the CD.

The Bernard Haitink LP with the London Philharmonic is now either ADD or 
AAD on CD now.  It's quite good too.  I've head Jarvi's.  It's OK.

DS's 10th symphony is pretty safe.  Just about anyone can conduct it and
make it sound good.  But it takes a master to really milk it for what it
has got.  Just buy anything you find on the shelf; it's a sure thing you
will enjoy it and you'll be ready to appreciate the finer performances 
in case you get an inferor one.

Kim Kashishkan(sp?) on ECM has recorded the Viola Sonata, I do believe. Also
someone on CHANDOS has.  As a violist, I must say this work is SO cool!!! (his
last opus, by the way.)  G. Schirmer publishes the Sonata in America, under the
"Library of Soviet-Russian Music" series.
