音時雨 ～Regentropfen～

やーーーーっと見つけた！！！
Furtwängler conducts Don Giovanni in 1954, the audio recording that I've been looking for almost one year! My very first Don, and also my best Don, even after listening to over 22 versions.
Perhaps this is the so-called "love at first sight". Sight, literally yes, as I was referring to the DG's DVD release.
After that, although I've found Furtwän's another recording in 1953, I wasn't satisfied since what I wanted was the exactly 1954 performance. Many Furtwän fan sites have pointed such an audio version does exist, but with no luck, I just couldn't locate it anywhere.

And on this Monday came my belated luck. The title of "Wilhelm Furtwängler - The Legacy (2010)" was indeed attractive. Why I didn't find it out in last year? -- anyway, being overwhelmed by thoughts like "I want to eat it right now!", I left my laptop on for the entire day.
It actually didn't finish until next morning. So my hunger lasted till Tuesday evening. Took a quick glance at its tracklist, a lot Brahms, Bruckner, Beethoven, a bunch of Mozart, and... a heavy Wagner bundle.
Okay, quoting Amano Tooko's words "食べ物を粗末にしてはいけません(it's not good to waste food!)", guess it's a chance for me to increase my intake of Wagner/Bruckner/etc.--although I'm not very confident about it, don't waste the mono, which always sounds nostalgic, noble and historic.

But, my point was, really, when I read on the booklet saying this "Don Giovanni" was recorded in 1954, I was driven into a hyper.
You gotta cherish your first love~ (*´∀｀)

P.S. Right now, my fb2k is playing Bruckner's Symphony No. 7 3rd movement. There's no good, what I recall is nothing but scenes from "Legend of the Galactic Heroes". ~_~
--I've finished the original novel like 10 years ago, but never dared to finish OVA, because I already know people I like are all going to die! >_<

Continuing from the 107-CD box. However, I didn't challenge the posted links, which would take me forever as a free user. So I relied on those nice people who like to torrent.
On Monday evening, I decided to finish the final make-up with my girls while waiting for the torrent to finish. But right after I started PS5, a message box popped up from my google drive saying there's no enough space on my drive D.
Apparently the 22GB torrent + ~6GB PS cache have eaten up all the remaining space of my hard drive. Only leaving me 1MB that I couldn't even make a screen shot of that moment. u_u

A bit different from my previous plan that to attach a DG label. Instead putting a real DG logo, I merely borrowed the overall CD jacket design and the bright yellow banner.

For a long while, since my mind was keep changing, I didn't put my girls' names on any works in case if I want to make changes. But this time, I decided to finalise their names so I put them here: from piano, to violin, then cello.
Of course, there're always lots of back stories about how I named them (maybe I should start a single page for introducing more of such sometime later): Arietta: before I knew the meaning of this word, "tta" was appended after "Arie" ("aria" in German) to make up something like Henrietta, and later I was very happy after learning the meaning of "arietta". Fidelia: Came up when I was randomly browsing an English dictionary and kept it as I like its sound. That's everything, simple enough. Luminora: I didn't want to admit this name was made up after "luminol" that I learned from watching "Detective Conan", but it's the truth. -_-''

Yesterday it was around -12°C, and today it was +12°C!! Not unbelievable, just so crazy.
