Christmas presents

December 27, 2005 at 12:47 PM

Well, seeing as everyone's posting about what they got for christmas, I guess I may as well.

Berlioz - Symphonie Fantastique recording
Glenn Gould's 1981 recording of Bach's Goldberg Variations
Bach's The Art of Fugue score
A pad of 12 stave manuscript
some chocolate
a couple of torches
How to change the world for less than $10 a day (book)
Dr Karl's Dis information (book)

But best of all was a gift my parents got for my girlfriend and me: Tickets to the Mozart Birthday Gala Concert that my local Symphony Orchestra is putting on - the program includes Mozart's first symphony, his last (Jupiter), Mozart's Oboe Concerto (Performed by Diana Doherty), a selection of aria's sung by Fiona Campbell, and the Adagio for Violin and Orchestra (Performed by Paul Wright).
